Good morning all, I’m finally hooking my wood boiler that’s in my garage to my house. I’m digging a ditch and spray foaming my pex within the ditch. Question is, my garage is built on a monolithic slab so undermining and drilling through the haunch would be a nightmare. I’m thinking about...

Good morning. Looking for options to lock the power off on my 2 post bendpak lift. My garage is popular amongst my friends and I don’t want the lift used when I’m not home. Anyone have any options or ideas? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I’m getting a new bendpak lift next week, how do you folks have your lift set up? Do you have an air supply ran down a column? Do you have separate lights around the lift for when it’s in use? Do you have outlets on the columns? Just curious to how people set up their areas. Pictures would be...

I plan on installing a septic tank for my garage before the snow sets in on us. my biggest question in my garage is elevated roughly 20 feet higher than where the tank and leach field will be. the distance from back of the garage to the level ground is 25-30 feet. Ive read on zip-sagging the...

What form of ventilation did you use in your garage and why? My supplier delivered me cobra vent. I have used it in the past and have seen snow come under ridge cap. I'm debating installing gable vents. I have half attic trusses so the vent would be above the attic storage area. The whole garage...
