    Vintage Garage Door Knob

    I had my house built 35+ years ago. The entry door from the garage into the house has a standard bore size of 2 1/8" with a backset of 2 3/8". The entry door to the house has a slightly smaller bore size of around 2 1/16" with a backset of 2 3/4". I can't find a replacement door know to fix...

    Recommendations for small electric garage heater for 480 square feet

    I've been using this 5000 watt heater in my garage for a couple years. My 2 1/2 car garage is 500sq ft and I keep it about 60°. On days when it's below 10° it will only get my garage to around 50° but my garage is not isualated all that well. It runs on a 30 amp 220 breaker.

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Nice shop. Is that an AD cab I see back there or an old Ford?

    Have you checked the fan to make sure its tight. There have been complaints of it being loose from the factory.

    Comfort Zone CZ230er and other heaters like it

    I installed the Comfort zone 5000 watt a couple months ago. Never looked inside to see what's heating up as its mounted to the ceiling. It seems a little slow when I first turn it on when it's 35 degrees in the garage but I think that's due to it being cold. I turn mine on and 45 min to an...

    Question on installing Comfort Zone CZ220 Heater.

    I just installed this heater in my garage a couple months ago. I used 10/2 (orange) wire plus a 30 amp 220 breaker. Two wires are hot plus a ground. Works great.

    Garage Heater Install

    That's a different way of attaching a heater to the ceiling. I used the supplied bracket and ran all-thread rod from the bracket, through the ceiling, and above the raffters. I laid a 2X6 across the raffers at an angle and ran the all-thread rod through the 2X6 and added washers and nuts on...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Fired up the heater in the garage since it was 21 degree outside and cleaned up the old 49 pickup. Also got out my one remaining RC plane getting it ready for Spring flying. I've been out of the hobby for about 4 1/2 years so since I retired I thought I would rejoin the club.

    Show off your WHOLE HOUSE GENERATOR.

    I guess if you live in an area where power outagage accure frequently it may be worth getting one. I had my house built about 35 years ago and I can only remember one time in the winter that power has been out for more than 2 hours. Just can't justify getting one.

    LED Bulbs

    I bought the Barrina LED T5 lights over a year ago and they are still working fine. My garage is 20X25 and I have my lights configured in two long rectangles (16 lights total). Lights my garage great. Most stuff now a days is throw away so I figure if I can get a few years out of them and...
