Ya, I got the idea from Stumpy Nubs who referenced David.

I'm currently finishing the interior of my new 24x24 shop. It will be primarily used as a hobby wood working shop. I got enough carpet floor tiles from work for free to cover the entire shop. This is low ply carpet, commercial grade. I was thinking it would be good to install because it will...

North Dakota. I have found that the listed price doesn't mean much. Make an offer. My store had them listed at $300. Talked to the manager and he said they were actually going for $175, they just didn't change the signs. I told him for that price I would have to think about it. I started...

Timing is everything on these. I just committed to 6 at $80/piece. Have potentially 8 more available at the store near me.

Looked at the instructions again. Thought it was specifying a 1 foot horizontal run cause I saw the 5' vertical minimum, but after rereading, looks like your right. Thanks, saves me some trouble.

Besides the other stuff, I would take a closer look at the exhaust vent for the heater. My beacon Morris 75k instructions say that the vent needs to go out a foot horizontal before going vertical.

If your trench is 24" deep, why even use pvc? just go direct bury.

See Pics for options that I was considering.

Pic of the panel where I originally planned it. Will try to get a better pic tonight. My job keeps getting in the way of completing my garage.

Thanks guys. @Charles- Thanks for those pics, I've never seen pics like that, I only read the code book. I didn't realize it could be anywhere in the 30". I thought it was 30" from each side of the panel. @rsanter- If I move the other, I thought it would be to close to the side wall. Now...

Hi all, Finally building my dream garage. :rocker: All the walls are up, waiting on some special order siding trim and then the outside is done. Will have to get pictures up on here as I have been spending a lot of time researching on garage journal, and drooling... While I'm waiting, I...
