starting a new thread for garage pellet or wood stoves that have local city or state requirements that call for an 18" or greater distance from the floor to the stove. this regulation requires the building of a hearth for the stove to sit upon. i did a bunch of searches over the past week since...

thanks Ad, I love my Jeep. Hangs fairly close to the vette till about 60 mph then it becomes a flying brick. Once this garage gets done and i gather enough empty returnable cans and bottles i will be adding a supercharger!

A few new additions to the upstairs that i wanted to share. this is a table i picked up off of craigslist. used 3 piece slate Olhausen table about 8 years old. had it refelted in purple Simonis 806 felt. prior owner threw in the table light, cues, balls, cover and this huge fake tree...

Not sure if it is the "best" solution but I plan on using a pellet stove set on low as the primary with a 75,000 btu propane heater as the backup.

Finally, the driveway is in. It ended up being 52 tons of asphalt. now i just need to keep off of it a few days. i also picked up a nice heavy duty workbench table 3'x8' from a business close out sale. heavy as heck and has a nice sheet of stainless steel on top of it. little...

Zeke, you make valid points. My info. is based on a conversation i had with my plumber the other day and i now question his logic. I need to do some more research on this. but it would seem that the using a OAK (outside air kit) if possible is the better choice.

not sold on that being the best option. i mean you are pulling in cold air that needs to be reheated. If the garage is extremely air tight it may require that you pull in air from the outside. i plan on not going that route unless i have to.

Jeff, you are correct. At least here in my city the flame must be 18" above the floor. I will need to put down two rows of cinder blocks. Didn't realize that until speaking with my plumber.

Hardwood floors upstairs are done with the exception of the bullnose and t-moulding between main room and bathroom. still a little dusty so they have not been fully cleaned yet. 3/4" maple by 3 1/2" wide prefinished. **** Lexi approved shot at the future urinal this is a shot trough...

Hey TXN, floors are just about done i will post up pics today or tomorrow on the upstairs hardwood. Good news is that today the Bend-Pak got installed. Still need the electrician to hook up the 220 power.

JB, agreed. i am going to go with the darker gray on the bottom and a 4" shiny black stripe between them to match the lift. will post up pics on it when available. looking forward to the lift going in tomorrow.

i bought two pellet stoves this past week. A Enviro vista flame VF170 for my garage and a Piazzetta P957 for the house. the Enviro will go in the garage floor and i am gladly sacrificing bench space for it. Heat does rise. i would keep the stove on the first floor. why create more work of...

i received a call this morning that my Bendpak lift had arrived and that they want to install on Friday. My painter was able come over and hit the garage ceilings today as well as the top half of my walls. I have been thinking all along that i want to go with a light gray on top a bold color...

Mechanical issues on Monday prevented the driveway from getting blacktopped. Then a Nor'Easter decided to roll in so we are putting the paving off until either this Saturday or next Monday. Not sure of the total sq. feet i will have to ask him what he estimated it at. Total cost is $9k for the...

CHI garage doors model 4216 long panels and upgraded to get the appearance package powder coated white tracks. Highboy liftmaster 8500's. Also bought the liftmaster MyQ so that i can operate via the smart phone. The driveway is getting paved today. will post up some before and afters...

thanks BWW. yeah the last couple of years the SRT has been outside through the icy and snow winters here in NH. I was paying to store the Vette. No longer now she will be sitting in the middle bay atop a new black Bendpak HD-9XW lift! Due to arrive in a couple of weeks.

no it was the kitchen sink window all along. what the builder did was not frame it in until the very end so that they had direct access in the front up with a ladder and could move lumber in easily. they also used that access point for a bit as the garage inside steps were not done yet.

thanks Jesse/Sun! here are few pics of the siding and sheetrock delivery. builder put in a nice small wall with the granite that was dug out. i decided last minute to add a second floor deck to accommodate the cigar and **** smokers. they decided to lift up over the garage and a tree...

here are some inside photos of the framing:
