Didn't quite know if this should be here or in 'Heating and A/C'... Suppose my new shop has minimal windows, and those are the most efficient; the walls are all spray-foam insulation; ceiling well insulated and sheetrocked; the doors are the best, most insulated they make; and the slab is...

My new building will have in-floor radiant heat, 18' ceiling height. I live in an area with sometimes heavy snow accumulation, and sometimes hot summers. I want a roof that will shed the snow when the sun comes out; so that would suggest a dark color. But then, it seems like a dark color will...

I admit I could have missed it if it's been discussed and it's late, but I would love to hear what those with in-floor heat are ACTUALLY paying currently for heating their space. What do you pay per month or season for fuel? If you would please state: square footage, average winter temps...

As mentioned in another thread (about Property Brothers) I'm trying to nail down a floor plan for the living quarters that will make up the back third of my retirement home/shop (see my sig.). Pictured is my first try with design software I bought off eBay. I haven't yet figured out how to...

This is askew of the garage concept, but only somewhat. I'm planning large new building with a shop in one end, showroom in the middle, and living quarters in the back (see my sig.) I was watching the show 'The Property Brothers'. Basically, it's two brothers, one's a realtor, one's a...

I was cleaning out a barn I have and had forgotten about this vise. It looks substantial, but then I scraped off the tag and say 'Made in China', which was a turnoff. Anyone know anything about these? Like how old? I know it's not scrap, but is it especially valuable? [/IMG]

Forgive me since this isn't a garage in the traditional sense, but it plays one on the road:o It's a brand new Haulmark enclosed trailer, 8.5'x24' with ramp door. It has finished walls and ceiling; plain plywood floor with what appears to be a light coat of paint or maybe stain. I'm trying to...

I'm in the planning stage of my dream building (see link in sig.). I know how I want the garage set up, but that's simple; where I'm intimidated is the apartment layout:confused: The space will be a rectangle, about one third of the building, probably 30' wide by 50' deep. Entry will be on...

Shot in the dark, I know. I need an enclosed car trailer for my business, plus weekend use for the racecar. I'm looking for 24', bumper pull, any color. Doesn't need a lot of extras, in fact the plainer the better. Must be in very nice shape. I'm looking at new ones, but thought I'd throw this...

Looked at some (not all-too much!) of that gigantic air compressor thread, I saw a couple compressors mounted overhead. As I'm in the planning stage of a new build (with 16' interior height) I have been trying to find the best place to spot my big commercial compressor. Part of the height is...

Warning in advance: I know this is a long post, but I really need your help. Please take the time to read it. Many thanks! Once again I am asking the great- and knowledgeable- members of GJ for some education and guidance. I am in the planning stage of my dream retirement 'car condo' (see...

I have smaller tool chests of various sizes, but have always wanted one large box where I could combine most of my tools. I've been casually looking at boxes here and there, eBay, CL, etc. Of course I love the Snap-On rollaround chests, but to get one of any size we're talking thousands, even...

I need a cordless sawzall for cutting body panels, etc. in junkyards. I know there are different voltages, but not sure what they mean- is it power? Or battery stamina? Or both? I won't be using it all that much, maybe average once a twice a month. Don't want to bother with junk that's...

WARNING: Graphic images for Camaro lovers!:shocking: Thankfully, nobody was injured... We all want a lift, and for good reason; and they continue to be more and more affordable. But we do need to be aware of the dangers. See link...

I'm building a multi-use building (see intro link below). The ceiling height will be 18', and will be steel. The exception will be the last 25' or so. This is where the apartment will be. The apt. will be nornal height with a second floor above for gameroom plus a guest suite. What I'd like...

I'm building a new shop, and 3-phase electric is available. I'm looking at air compressors. I can get a large used compressor from a closed car dealership, one single and one 3-phase (both similar size, about 5 HP motor). Other things being equal, and with 3-phase on site, which compressor...

Well, I guess 'bigger' is a relative term... I'm planning my new shop to be 50x50x18. This will be used for car restoration and repair. I won't have a paint booth per se, but there will be a 'dirty area' located along one wall. I picture it with maybe a curtain or light-duty wall on the...
