Hello: I have a garage that is 24' wide and 30' long. My plan is to hang 4' led lights 12 in total. My plan is to hang them in a line of 3 lights each row. I want them spaced equally across the 24' from side to side. What detentions do I need to use from wall to wall to equally space 3...

What color do I paint my new drywall in my detached shop/garage? My house and outside color of my detached shop/garage is brown. I was thinking keeping the ceiling white to reflect light then the walls a shade of green or blue. Or to make it easy 1 color ceiling and walls but what color...

Hi: Going to buy a mini fridge for the shop. Can I plug this into the same circuit as my bench 20 amp outlets are on? I look at all the fridges at Home Depot and the manuals and I can not find the start up watts or the running watts. Because they are much smaller then a normal fridge to they...

Thanks Falcon67 I have changed my mind on the King heaters. The mounting bracket looks very week on the King heaters. I live in Western Washington State. In the winter it sometimes gets below 32 degrees. This year has been an exception last couple weeks 22 degrees. But when it is that...

Longhair: Thanks for this information. I too like the King heaters. When you say "decent job" does it heat your space up? about how quickly? And how loud is the fan? Also is it hard on your bill? 7500k is the right size for my space. My space is 30LX24WX10T 10 foot ceilings. I am...

I do not have any items that run on 220V at this time. However in the future I might. I am thinking I would install right by my panel a standard size plastic outlet box and run 30 amp breaker 4 wire #8 to the box and put a cover plate on it for now. Would this cover me for options in the...

Is 1/2 plywood in the rafters good enough?

No water running to shop. Not a big deal for me.

I am going to hire a company to come in and sheet rock the ceiling and the walls. If I do not add the ladder then do I just frame with 2x4 a rectangle for the access point to the upper storage? Then use a a extension ladder to access it?

The 2x6 would be upright and the insulation would slide behind the 2x6 along the wall. Where would I pre-drill?

I am also thinking about adding a folding ladder and laying some 1x2" OSB on top of rafters for some extra storage. Just not sure if it worth it or not.

My walls are 2x4 on 24 center. I am planning to add a row of cabs above the work bench. Should I install blocking? I have some left over 2x6 I could use for blocking.

If you have a doorknob that will contact the finished wall when opened, install a 2x4 so that you have a solid anchor to add a door bumper later on. Very good point thanks

thank you. I want to add to the list. I have a light at the man door I have a light on the outside on the main garage door I have a automatic garage door opener already installed. This is a duel plug 1 being used for garage door opener and the 2nd could be used for hanging extension cord. I...

I do not have natural gas at my house. Propane I do not know much about. With propane would I have to install a tank outside?
