Depending on how much fill.... 2" foam, taped seams, then 6mil poly, taped. Thermal break is nice depending on climate, and concrete is a big expense

I'll do jobs with used panels/breakers - I repurpose all my clean stuff that I pull out during demo, especially wire. However, I don't do residential

This is the reason why I love teck90 so much. Sometimes im too lazy or don't have time to bury conduit, and I won't buy garbage. Leaves teck as the answer

It takes time for the conductor to burn once damaged, but sometimes not long. I've pulled out burnt wires after 20years, Your electrician will megger the cable to test insulation, I always to this to motors before calling it bad It could be something different, sometimes it's hard to...

Maybe because it's detached? I'm in ontario and have a radiant tube heater, but my garage isn't attached.

I agree that you have a burned/damaged conductor in the ground.

I would pull solid wire because I'm not sure what devices it's going to be connected to but it's a lot easier to terminate properly on a setscrew then stranded wire which technically isn't supposed to be terminated by wrapping around I setscrew

Hi, where did you rent the grinder? I need to do the same and live just outside Dundas. Thank you!

My shop is to clean to work in, basically a man cave. Has a smart tv, a minisplit, wifi thermostat, etc. I do odd projects In there but I'm a neat freak so it's natural to keep things in order. For major things I go to my business shop/warehouse.

I agree. Best thing you can do is to follow manufactures recommended installation methods design and materials

If your building isn't drafty 45k will be fine

Why are you using seal tight? That's terrible stuff to pull through and I mean terrible. You'd be better off buying direct burial cat5e. Then sleeve it with pvc when it comes above grade. If you need flexable use coreline before sealtight, You won't push a fish tape through even 100' of...

For the roof, I'd go with an ICF roof to match the walls :)

It's fine however im not a fan of homelite. It's like the 'lite' version.

Yes, and then some.

I wire all kinds of equipment with soow cabtire, perfectly legal. Twist lock on the ceiling, then drip loop to a strain relief before the drop

We use 6mil poly on the warm side up here. I'd advise to pull down your drywall, and do closed cell spray foam, and then board with type x 5/8 firecode, airtight taping on the drywall. Due to having living space above and beside, best way to keep it safe if your using your garage for more...
