I purchased a newer 24K BTUH Sanyo mini split (20 SEER) that was known to have an issue with the inside unit - compressor was declared sound. Being an engineer with universal refrigeration license, I really want some hands-on with this technology as lots of HVAC guys around here shy away from...

I have an older hunter road force balancer(9700) and during the new garage build, I seem to have lost the calibration weight. Anyone have one you could measure up so I can make a new one?

Just picked up and old mohawk system 1- single line lift (9K). Anyone ever find a manual that describes the hydraulic setup on these? I'l calling mohawk later but I know parts and support are limited for these older units.

I'll be looking to buy a 2 post lift (base plate) in the near future. I've been to Greg Smith in New Hampshire but I'd like to check out some others... especially BendPak. Are their any lift showrooms in the North East that I could visit to see the lifts in person?

I'm finishing up my new garage and I'm starting to really look into the insulation plan. ZONE 5, 2 story wood frame garage, cathedral ceiling in second floor with low slope (3/12) & only 2.5' above rafter ties at the peak so blowing in isn't an option. 2000 square feet of wall insulation...

Finally poured my 42x25 slab this saturday. Very experienced commercial crew that does the big box stores. They did a fantastic job and the slab looked amazing after the final burnish. They brought in a softcut saw and cut the lines immediately after the final burnish- again amazing job- no...

I've read most of the posts on these LED shop lights but I still don't understand some things (a lot of things actually). I understand these lights project more directionally- (not all around like typical fluorescent tubes). Some list a projection angle of something like 120 deg.... which I...

I hope my file posts... 1st time attempting. My new garage has some unusual features and I'm not sure how to best light it. I am going with the recommended lights from the "best LED" thread (or perhaps the Costco ones iif they ever go on sale gain for under $20 ea) and I've run the lighting...

I'm in the process of building my new garage which will have an upper level (wood deck) where I'll keep and use some heavy machines. I've become a fan of laminate floor. I've used it in my rentals and it was so durable, I used in my house as well. It's held up better than real hardwood. I...

OK- the new garage is going up. I haven't done the slab yet and I plan to install a 10k 2-post lift (base plate lift). I will want the lift placed near a wall- near the edge of the slab... which I know can be problematic so I want to discuss options other than moving the lift. I believe...

I'm knee deep in my new detached 25x42 2 story garage build in Massachusetts. I'd like some opinions on heating the space but there are some special considerations (cost, complexity/reliability, ease of install/maintenance etc.). The garage will be kept above freezing (40-50 deg) all winter...

I'm building a new 42x25 garage in MA. I'm not sure if I should tie the poured slab into the walls or use tie breaks and allow the slab to float interdependently of the walls? Also- I'm considering no wire mesh or rebar (some say this is becoming more common as long as the sub base is good...

My new garage is 2 bays wide and 2 bays deep- and slab and there's limited access from the front (25' wide section) and about 20' up one of the 42' sides. No access from the back or the other side. Anyone know what the typical max chute reach is without a pumper?

I'm in the planning process for building a new garage and thought I had decided on a power troweled concrete slab finish (almost polished). But- I also wanted to seal the wet slab to minimize staining and to aid in the curing process by eliminating premature drying. I was trying to research...

I'm in the process of trying to improve my existing garage by adding a second story to it. It's an older garage that's an "existing non-conforming use"- which basically means I'm limited with what I can do to it because of zoning laws. I can "add-on", as long as it doesn't increase the...

I have a narrow 2 stall garage (20'-8" inside width). It's concrete block on slab so the slab goes under the block which forms 1 outside wall and my discussions with an experienced installer suggests mounting one post right up against the wall isn't a problem. BTW- I'm considering the Atlas...
