    Door Questions For New Garage

    I went with 3 10' doors. I have 14' high ceilings. I don't regret getting tall doors. It wasn't needed though for my use. 9' would be more than enough.

    Barn Timbers- Exterior oil to protect?

    Installing 220v garage heater

    Thank you for the advice. I picked up the units and they look good. This thing is a beast. They have a thermostat wire coming out of it, so I plan to have a thermostat hooked up to it. I'll run 8-2 romex and a 40 amp double breaker. My buddy picked up the other one today. I am excited to hook...

    Installing 220v garage heater

    Hey everyone. I am finally moving away from propane and kerosene heaters. I found a great deal for this TPI F2F5107CA1L heater and I am picking it up tomorrow morning. $100 for 2 of them and my buddy is taking the other one. The guy said they work and are only a year old. The heater will likely...
