Well I just got a quote for my MrCool config and the price is nearly double that of Senville at nearly $7,000cdn (vs $3600). Barring some serious "get what you pay for" issues with the Senville it looks like it will by my best option. Will I have issues running a 36k but unit without really...

Sorry no, didn't clarify. Our baseboard heaters are electric. In reality we already removed the one from the master bedroom as it was in an awkward location that limited room layout options. The others are turned off 95% of the time as we get a fair amount of heat rising through our central...

This seems to be the go-to thread for mini-split discussions, so I figure this is the place to put my question in. I'm in Vancouver BC and looking at adding a mini-split for our 35 year old 2x4 framed house. 1200 sqft downstairs (ducted w/furnace) and 600sqft up (baseboard heat, no duct). Our...

Really appreciate the info! I'm definitely leaning towards renting a machine to do the grind. According to the docs I see online for this stuff I'll need to purchase another two gallons as it seems each pair (base/activator) adds up to only 1 gallon (0.65g of base and 0.35g of activator in each...

Noted! Considering I may be lucky enough to save on the material itself there is no harm in putting some of the coin towards renting a grinder and buying some primer. How many cans of the 6500 would you recommend to cover a 24x20 floor? Are the two gallons I have enough? I just had him send me...

I'm going to add to my original question with another question. If I only plan to heat the garage a few times a year (I don't really mind working in the colder seasons) is insulation less beneficial? My biggest concern is less the energy loss and more the risk of moisture problems

Hey guys, new garage incoming and I'm debating pulling the existing drywall out to insulate. Our new house is late 80's construction and may have asbestos to deal with in the existing drywall. Garage is 24x20, 9' ceilings with an attic space above, attached to the house across the rear wall...

Hey guys buying a new house soon the garage is 24x20 (a sizeable upgrade from my current 19'6" x 17'6"). The garage is in good shape for the most part but the floor is ugly and stained bare concrete with a minor slab crack down the middle. It's flat and level and the inspector found nothing...

I've got a Milwaukee 2650-20 and a single compact battery (48-11-1815) left from a kit I got a few years ago. The drill died and took out a battery a long time back when I apparently expected too much of it while drilling through some stainless. I'm curious if I can use my existing battery to...

Hi guys, This may not be the place to turn to but there are many talented people around here. Girlfriend and I have decided to put a large "built-in" computer desk in the theater room of our new house so we picked up two 61"x29.5" solid beech "butcher blocks" that we're planning to install side...

Bump! Got lost in the shuffle overthe last few months and found myself busily doing whatever it was I was doing. Lucky for me we live in a very nice city, unluckily it happens to be one of the most expensive housing markets in the world. In the end we had to settle for making some sacrifices...

New to the site, currently an outdoor parker for both cars but the bike is indoors. Hoping to change that as the girlfriend and I are looking to buy a townhouse with a sidebyside in the near future. The garage will be used hopefully house all three of these. Z4MC (daily) S54B32 w/6spd manual...

Thanks for the real world experience on that. I did some quick math and came up with about 6'6" space between the cars and the wall, with about 2' on the side of each (4' in the center) assuming I have nothing low on the sides of the cars. It seems a bit tight on the outer walls but manageable...

Good taste in vehicles ;) I've had the e30 for years now but only owned the z4 for 6 months. I was honestly surprised by the 9" difference in length when I googled the specs to wrote the post, I never thought it was quite that much. Oh well! Makes for interesting experiences when the back lets...

Hey guys, first post new member here. I'm looking at venturing into a first time home purchase with my girlfriend in the next couple of months but I'd like a little input on dimensions for the garage as a sort of "baseline" to work with. I've never had my own place with a garage big enough to...
