I've been reading through a bunch of flooring threads over the past few weeks and with all the black Friday deals I'm looking to busy some flooring relatively soon. My garage is 19' deep by 21' wide... but its not completely rectangular because the entrance to the house cuts into the garage...

I'm leaning towards using some sort of interlocking tile floor or vinyl roll rather than a painted on epoxy type floor. But my question is about how easy it is to clean up spills. What's your experience regarding clean up? My fear is that I spill a gallon of coolant and now I have to pull up...

Hoping you guys could help me out with a situation I've got in my garage. I've got 3 (14/2) cables coming into an outlet box. One provides power and I'm trying to figure out where the other 2 are going. I know that one of the 2 wires goes to an outside outlet which appears to be the end of the...

Sorry if this has been addressed before. I tried searching with a few different keywords but couldn’t find anything. I wanted to know if anyone has experience with pre-fabricated garage "kits". I'm looking to build a freestanding garage/storage building...probably around 20 x 30. I do plan...

Just wondering if there could be any potential safety issues with hardwiring a 240v range in the kitchen. I'm replacing one that was hardwired and it would be easier and cheaper to just hardwire the new one. The wiring is in good shape and I'm guessing that the current wiring was installed...

In reading through a bunch of threads over the years there's lost of talented folks on this forum so I was hoping one of you could help. I'm towards the end of my bathroom remodel. I installed/grouted the tile... and when I went to install the shower faucet, I noticed that the shower body/valve...

I know there are alot of factors to consider for this but I'm in the process of rewiring my garage and wanted to get everything pre-wired for adding a welder in the future. I don't currently own a welder but would love to buy one and so while the walls are open I figure it's best to run the...

There's a ton of great info on these threads and I've been reading through a bunch of it these past few days. I think I've decided to go with a penetrating concrete sealer over a densifier. I was just hoping to get some additional input. I've been in my house for just under 2 years. It was...

I'm about to undertake a pretty large renovation project in my attached 2-car garage. We recently bought this house and unfortunately after buying, realized that the floor joists in the bedrooms (above the garage) were grossly undersized. The house was built in the 1950's and they used 2x10...

I'm in the middle or renovating my attached garage and I'd like to add a 240v outlet for an electric heater and possibly a welder (most likely a mig welder) down the road. I don't current own a welder but it's on the wish list. I was planning on using a 50A breaker with 6 gauge wire and using...

I have a 16x7 garage door that is sagging in the middle when open. Only the top panel is sagging so I'm assuming it's not sagging due to it's own weight but rather from the garage door opener pulling on the door. I'm installing a jackshaft garage door opener (liftmaster 8500) so that should...

So I recently converted from an extension spring setup to a torsion spring. The next step is to install the liftmaster 8500 which I recently purchased. After reading several threads on this board as well as some service bulletins from Liftmaster, it look I need to do one of, or all of 3...

Sorry, I know this topic has probably been beaten to death but I've still got questions. After reading glowing reviews on the 1/2 HF earthquake impact gun I picked one up over the weekend. This is for home use and honestly it won't be used much. Maybe once every 2-3 months. But when I do use...

New member here. I came across this site while doing some research for a garage and I'm hooked. I was hoping you guys could help me out with an upcoming project. Me and my father will be building a garage at our cabin in upstate NY. We're currently fighting over the foundation. The structure...
