1. Can I run 12/2 ROMEX in 3/4" PVC conduit in a detached garage? Am I wasting $$ wiring the outlets this way? 2. Since this is a pole barn, can I run the ROMEX down the girts right next to each pole without conduit; mount the outlets on the face of pole ~ 4' off the ground and then just use...

I'm beginning to notice that in a couple of areas around the perimeter of my pole garage, voids are developing between the slab and the underlying ground. :headscrat Slab is 4" thick with 6" square mesh reinforcing on top of a vapor barrier and 4" stone base compacted. Has anyone else...

I like the most recent pics of ol55's pole garage interior (posted on the Garage Gallery a few days ago). So my thought at this point is to get the same look by using 1 1/2" Dow Thermax with white finish between the girts and between the poles and the sheathing. Then 1/2" Thermax with white...

Might want to look at DOW Thermax with White Finish. Comes in various thicknesses through 2" at R13; finish is apparently robust enough to be cleaned with a power washer. I'm looking at it as insulation and a substitute for an interior drywall finish on my pole garage here in Virginia. Looks...

My well is being drilled and soon the piping run from well head to surge tank in the house crawl space - right past the detached garage. I'll need to provide well water to the garage as well. I'm struggling with - options for running the water directly from well to garage and house in...

How long do you need to wait before sealing new concrete?

The Conestoga part was ~ $34,000. Slab, exterior trim and the garage door mod on the scissors truss bay has added another $10K.

Oh I forgot. The doors are Wayne Dalton 9700 series doors.

The building is 28' x 36'. Conestoga has 8', 10', and 12' first floor heights shown on their web site. This is their 10' option (slab to bottom of the joists). It has a 10:12 pitch roof giving it a total height of ~ 22'. The attic trusses combine 2x8 and 2x6 construction. The all chords...

Here are some views of the interior. What I envision is to erect a wall separating the two car bays from the other 3rd of the building containing a wood working shop. I'd like to include an internal 9 to 10' sliding door [barn style]in that wall so I can move large items throughout the...

1. Gutters yes - half round style same as the house 2. The trim is 2 x southern yellow pine zinc borate pressure treated, two coats of alcohol based shellac, primer and Sherman Williams paint. Certainteed vinyl siding 3. Basic building is a Conestoga shell, agricultural roof, Wayne Dalton...

Exterior finish is close to complete. Exterior electrical fixtures are next. Thanks to help on the Garage Journal:), the garage door solution on the bay with the scissors trusses will no longer interfere with a lift. Electrical is next.

I really appreciate all the quick responses and help:)

5wndwcpe -- At the point the scissor's truss joins the header, it is 10'-4" above the floor. At the interior peak of scissors truss, the height is 15' 9"

I had my Conestoga pole building built with scissors trusses in one bay to accommodate a four-post car lift so I could store two cars in the bay. The wall height is 10’ -4” with 8’ high openings. I’m encountering a problem getting overhead doors installed so that that’ll provide the 12’...

This is a Conestoga Building package which includes the roof. I had them extend the roof overhang on the gable ends from 12" standard to 18". http://www.conestogabuildings.com/ Conestoga also has an option to install insulation under the metal roof which I chose. For $1700 on a 36 x 28...

Sounds great to me!
