    How long did your mini-split last?

    So I installed this Friedrich system 9 years ago. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/not-your-usual-mini-split-install.262539 Long term report: The system has just developed trouble. About a week ago I noticed it not cooling and checked the pressures. Low side was down to about 60lb...

    Garage floor tiling on the cheap

    It has come time to divert focus from my new shop to give some attention to my old garage -- the original smaller garage built in to the house. I wanted to clean up the storage in here to make more room and improve the looks. I decided to replace the old random collection of open racks and...

    Craigslist deal?

    Picked this up today through a craigslist ad. $500. Anyone into old Coke machines? Needs some work though. Doesn't cool apparently. Seller said it was working when last used but it has sat for a few years. He didn't have the key so I need to figure out how to get it open. Maybe drill the lock out?

    Not your usual Mini-Split install

    I just wanted to be a bit more comfortable working in my garage. You know-- not be soaking wet and raining sweat on everything. Last winter it was the opposite; it was all I could do to keep a grip on a wrench with my frozen fingers. I got a 5000w electric heater that I could place next to me...

    Best way to mount goose-neck light fixture to wall?

    I'm looking for ideas on how to mount this type of light fixture to the wall over my garage doors. I haven't seen any examples of an actual installation that would give me a clue about mounting them in a secure fashion that also meets code. With the weight extended out at the end of the arm it...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT The Time Machine Garage - 32x24 with loft

    The Time Machine Garage Update: This is no longer a new build so I've decided to rename the thread. I'm calling it the "Time Machine Garage" to reflect the kind of 'vintage' theme I have going on. (and besides, there might be a time machine coming out of here someday...) ------ This is going to...

    Adding subpanel. Tell me if this is OK.

    I'm planning what I'll need to do for feeding a 150A subpanel in my garage that is soon to be built. This will be an additional attached garage. The house has a 200A main distribution panel that is full. I want to feed the new sub with 2/0 AL wire from a 150A subfeed lug kit that can plug into...
