The fill material in front is called ABC

This is what I have...the concrete "porch" is about 6 inches deep and 12 foot long. I will probably contour the slope a little under the door seal area as well

Thank you..they did a nice job. Did that fix your water issues ?

I recently installed a 35 x 60 metal building. It has five 12 foot roll up doors. The doors are set back about 6 inches from the edge of the concrete slab. I have been having problems with water getting under the doors. I now realize that the problem is the six inch deep concrete porch in front...

I just had a meter base and 200 amp panel fitted to my new metal building and the electrician added a 200 amp aluminum bonding ground cable from the load center ground to the metal building frame. If you have a sub panel in the garage then you need to separate the ground and neutrals in that...

I am looking to install twelve 8 foot LED lighting fixtures in my new 60 x 35 shop. I have looked at the Barrina lights on Amazon but I am seeing that they can cause RFI (radio frequency interference) which can interfere with wireless door openers and the FM radio. I will have both in my shop...

Upon advice, I am planning on treating my new shop's concrete floor with a densifier 4500 first then Ghostshield 8505 or 8510. I am planning on having a 2 post lift installed. Should I treat the floor with densifier before or after the 2 post lift is installed ? Will the intensified floor...

I will mainly be lifting smaller vehicles. I have a 1975 MG and a 1989 S10 Blazer but I do have a 1989 C2500 extended cab, full length bed, truck. It is about 22 feet long so I think a symmetrical lift would be best for lifting the truck. If there is an issue with the pillars blocking the doors...

I am looking at the Rotary SPO12 two post lift as I have read good things about it here. I am also considering the SPO12-Wide lift as well. Are there any disadvantages going with the SPO12-Wide if I have a big enough shop?

Since I don't have this heater, I am not sure exactly how it performs in cold temps but it looks like other people may have had a similar issue to yours. I would try bypassing the thermostat and that would at least prove that the thermostat is not causing the problem. You could maybe talk to...

I would just jumper the thermostat out as a test and see if the heater cycles and can it warm up your garage.

No it looks like it needs L1 and L2 (240V) to feed it. King does sell a battery operated thermostat for these situations but it might be better to run the 3rd wire to your thermostat box

Since I was driving a 240v contactor I didn't have to worry about the power levels in the thermostat. You could fit a cheap contactor and not worry about the power levels of the thermostat. I fitted this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J4Z7QUS/?tag=atomicindus08-20 You could...

I found my new Honeywell CT410B thermostat to be very unreliable and it didn't switch off cleanly at all. I was worried that it might damage my heater so I replaced it with the King K322E ClearTouch Electronic thermostat. I think you will like this unit. It is powered by the 240V line. I am...

Last week I got my long awaited electric garage heater all hooked up but I was having problems with the cheap Honeywell mechanical thermostat. It was not switching off cleanly and was chattering my contactor. Today I replaced the thermostat with a King electronic thermostat which so far seems to...

You will probably want to add a smoothing electrolytic capacitor cross the light as well, observing the polarity of the capacitor. If you don't the lamp won't be as bright or will fail early.

I bought two 44 inch units and one 26 inch cabinet for the same price as one 72 inch cabinet

I picked up my US General rolling tool cabinets and then I spent a few hours leveling them up. My garage floor has quite a slope from the back to the front. I don't know why they build it like that. My clothes dryer packed in and I had a ratty old spare in the barn. I brought it into the...

Yesterday a buddy took me to Harbor Freight and we picked up two 44 inch US General rolling tool cabinets and a 26 inch cabinet. We got them off the collapsing pallets and into the garage. Today was spent cleaning up all the packing materials and installing a replacement contactor for the...

I painted part of the corner garage wall a few days ago where I will be installing new racking and now I am wiring in a remote thermostat and remote contactor for the 10kW electric heater that I will be installing as soon as it arrives here
