Awesome! One more question as you're already into this and i'm just getting into it now. Whats the advantage of having smart bulbs vs a switch? I would of thought a switch would of been better no? I currently have some switches on order and never thought of going the bulb route so curious if...

Hey Denwood have you heard of OpenHAB? I'm just starting to dive into home automation for my home / garage and will be dropping my Wink Hub (was a deal over the BF weekend for only $20) once my z-wave uzb dongle arrives. My boss uses' OpenHAB for his home automation and it gives you the...

I am jealous of your bills!

I'm in NW Ontario, ran #2 Aluminum from my house panel which was 200amp to the garage (100amp) and the run was about 180ft. When i pulled my permit i got the contact information from the inspector and called him to verify all is good before i pulled the trigger on my wire. He didn't even ask...

You're in luck. I like a lot of the work/ideas Gentle_Ben did to his garage so i saved all the pictures a long time ago. I rar'd them and uploading them for you. Enjoy :) http://www.railbait.net/GJ/garage_pics.rar

I found a write up on a Electrical Company's facebook page and asked them, they said "Not for detached garages. If the garage is attached, it's considered part of the "dwelling""

I need to pull my permit for my garage. Now i'm thinking i should do it today just to be safe but as reader2580 mentioned its for residential dwelling, which a garage is not... Do you have any more information on this May 5th change, i been googling and can't find anything. EDIT; Found a...

I don't have my infloor hooked up yet as im still in the building stage but here is how i looked at it when building my garage. You have one shot to do anything with the slab, i dropped $10,000 in concrete for my garage and didn't want any regrets - put 2" styro under the slab and ran 2000' of...

What else would you be putting on the wall so close to the panel anyways? None the less its a nice first impression vs the rats nests that are out there :)

That's so exciting to see as i hope to get my boiler in for next winter. What boiler did you go with for your shop? This gives me good stats to go off as we have the same temperatures and i want my bills to be as low as possible :) My union gas bill last month was 420m3 to heat my 1900sqft...

Whats the common locations everyone installs this lines to. I'm thinking one to the work bench is a must. Maybe one quick connect on every wall and one outside?

I'm in the same boat as you and asked the same question: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315187 I haven't purchased my upgrades yet but that's the route i'm going. I figured after dropping $7k on doors whats an extra few hundred to do it right. When i do get them upgraded...

Here's my 3 critters! Two Weimaraner's and a cat. A few picks of them: Caesar (Sitting on beach) Cabela (Standing in water) Caesar and Max (on the couch) Caesar helping me form my garage slab :)

Ever since your comment i have grown to hate the height of my tracks lol... damn you! I got NUSTEEL getting me a high lift kit for all 3 doors - spools, springs, track to lift me an extra 11-1/2" so the track will be 7" off the ceiling. Thanks for spending my money Denwood ! lol Thanks...

I got those same speakers sitting in their box for my garage too. How did you end up mounting them as they are made for a retrofit install with drywall. Did you end up buying the enclosure for them too to case to speakers in on the roof side. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

What MikeF2316 said ^^. When putting vapor barrier up you cut out the receptacle and tuck tape the hole to the receptacle vapor box to provide a airtight seal. Eventually i'll have this all insulated and the infloor heat fired up though the winter and i want to make this as air tight as...

I thought that too but when doing measurements I'll have 1/2" space bet ween the casing and the cover plate. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

I was going to enter from the top and exit from the bottom as a 'current flow' kind of direction but I didn't like bringing the cables up then bend around. This way at the bottom I can group the pairs together for each circuit. I'm running double gang boxes with left side on one breaker and...

Yeah. In Ontario Canada 6-8" of slack I'd required. Here's the opposite wall that I just got the boxes on today. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Here you guys go! I got them spaced pretty evenly. I originally wanted to balance the outlets off each window but then I would have some close together and some further apart which I didn't like. So i hope you enjoy the pic as much as this thread lol Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk
