Believe it or not it has taken almost 5 years for gaining approval from MoCo on my garage. What proved difficult was I acquired an additional piece of property to build the garage. However, since it wasn't part of the same parcel as the house it was considered an unbuildable lot. Secondly, a...

So what is the power requirement to install a mini-split 18k or 24k unit?

It's not clear if you are talking about a detached garage or not. If detached and you have a pitched roof or scissor trusses then height should not be an issue. If a flat roof I would go with 14' but concerned about the outside aesthetic. A 14' ceiling (or outside wall) with a regular height...

Just caught your thread for the first time. I am also in MD (MC) and it looks like you are in PG Berwyn Heights. So some of your cost breakdown will be similar to mine. Still working with the permitting process but also need approval from Park and Planning. They have to agree on which is the...

A ceiling height of 101'' or less than 8.4 ft is your biggest issue. No way with a four post lift you can store two cars. As well your garage door probably will limit height by another 6-8 inches unless you invest in a liftmaster 8500 and bring the door as close to the ceiling as possible. So...

Similar to your photo, I ran the conduit down the box. Instead of mounting the box directly to the post, I mounted the box to a 3/4" board and then bought an 18" magnetic tool bar at HF and attached to the back of the board. This way if I decide to move the lift or if the lift moves slightly no...

When I ran power and cable in my trench I tried to keep the two conduits as far apart as possible. I recall (true or not) that the electrical fields can cause interference (noise) on the cable (particularly in parallel runs). I ran the conduit for watier down the middle and separated further by...

I use the aluminum 48" ramps from Bendpak since I have low clearance. Also my driveway dips a little on right side so I just have a 3/4" board attached to the right ramp and it works perfectly. When the car is on the ramp, I store them behind the rear wheel and they act as wheel chock. If I have...

Grat idea. Even though I have a large compressor I always drain after use. So I have alway felt it was overkill to use it on my Bendpak. I couldn't find the compressor at that price at FCPGlobal. Is it the model tc-20?

When I decided to add a ladder I had the same issue. I built it on the ground in pressure treated wood, so a bit heavier. Before I built the ladder I put the ladders 2x4 side against the rafter lined it up, then drilled a hole through both the ladder 2X4 and the rafter (about 24 inches down from...

Whex4n I decided to add a ladder I had the same issue. I built it on the ground in pressure treated wood, so a bit heavier. Before I built the ladder I put the 2x4 against the rafter lined it up, then drilled a hole through both the ladder 2X4 and the rafter (about 24 inches down from the hip)...

About 7 ft of the side walls and slab will be concrete since I will be building into an existing retaining wall area. Then about 4-5 of stick build to get an 11-12 ft. ceiling height. Initially, I want plans to give to concrete contractor. The balance of the plans will be for approval, but I...

Finally received approval from my County that I can build a garage on a very small plot of land adjacent to my property. So now I need to use a good software package to develop specs for a builder. What's out there that's either free or relatively easy to use.

First time I saw this thread. Can't wait to see the next step. Have to show this to my wife. She wants to downsize our house and agreed that I can upsize the garage. Got a great wife. this thread is my role model.

Benvenuto, i miei parenti vivono vicino a Venezia a Dolo. Visito ogni altro anno

I bought my first one about a month and it is now my go to light. Bought an extra one for myself and gave my three buddies one each for working on my car the past three weekends.
