Hello, I am laying out an in wall (tips and suggestions accepted) and I'm wondering how high off the floor your outlet ports are? I want them high enough so they won't obstruct anything or prevent me from using a certain section of wall, but not so high that I can plug in pretty effortlessly...

I'm just about to begin electrical and don't want to forget anything that might useful.

I need much less capacity than the rest of you, but I know nothing about compressors. Here is what I'll use one for: Woodworking (nailers) Paint spraying (small projects) Impact wrench occiassionally Any suggestions? 20/40 gallons seems appropriate to me.

All, I'm installing a 3/4" Rapidair Maxline kit into a new build (open walls) and I intend to run the air lines in the walls and floor joists as much as possible, with a total of 3 drops (see attached marked with "x"). I am planning to do some woodworking/light paint spraying.... possibly a...

I'm thinking of installing a mini split in the cold climate of Wisconsin for a 1000 sq ft shop. This will be primarily woodworking/storage. I'd like to keep the temp around 40 most of the time... but I understand that that may not be a huge savings vs 50+ with a heat pump, correct? I've...

It seems as though RB is less expensive than an epoxy floor... is this accurate? I do believe it's easier to apply and more "fool proof" but what's the finished sq ft breakdown of RB vs a QUALITY epoxy? Thanks

Hi, I'm just starting a 32 x 28 build in WI. I've settled on using Rust Bullet (I think) for the floors, but I've been thinking... Isn't the net result between epoxy and RB the same? ie... the floors look nicer, cleaner, etc... plus if you apply some type of broadcast flake, what's the real...

Hello, I'm building a 28 x 32 x 9 shop in Wisconsin- mostly for storage and woodworking. I plan to keep it at 35-40 most of the time, and turn up when I'm in there. This will be fired by natural gas. I have a concern with the radiant tube heater with my 9' ceilings... I'm afraid I'll always...

All, Is there a mini split equivalent for the 1000 square ft shop I am building in Wisconsin? Caveat....I'm putting a second story above that may or may not be climate controlled in the future. What about a regular residential NG furnace?

Thanks to many people on this forum who were helpful... a wealth of information. The trolls are unfortunate... but I guess some people just have too much time on their hands. Stats: 32 x 28 with a second story Upper room will be 14 x 32 and unfinished... unsure of future plan. Primary use...

Hello, I'm building a new garage/woodshop. Just priced some windows (Andersen 400 series) and there is an option to wrap the interior pine with vinyl. The cost is only a few dollars, so can anyone think of a reason why I WOULDN'T do this vs painted pine> In a garage, I'm not interested in...

Hello, If I am having a slab poured that slopes 2" from front to back (in 28") what is done to prevent the bottom plate (and thus the entire wall) from being out of level? How is this done on a single pour with integrated footing? Thanks

Hi, I'm thinking seriously about doing both of my garages with Rust Bullet. Wondering if I can get a sample of the material for feel/color, and also if you have done yours, please post as many pics as possible. Thanks!

All, I'm building a 32 x 28 garage with a second story in Wisconsin (it's cold in the winter). I'd like to know the best option for a furnace that I can keep at 40 degrees all winter, turning up when needed, but also one that I can shut down completely if I choose (not parking in there...

I've spent a ton of time searching and reading these forums, but what I can't find is an idea of what my options are (in Northern Wisconsin) to heat my 32 x 28- two story woodworking/storage shop. I have natural gas that will be run to my shop. I plan to keep it at 40 degrees unless I'm...

I'm starting a build in the next couple weeks. After the pour is done and framed, when would you treat the floor,and what are my options? Acid stain Epoxy Basic sealant something else? Also, any specific steps the concrete guy has to take or avoid u when he pours it? Thanks

Good evening, I am starting a 32 x 28 build in Wisconsin. This garage will have two floors ... with the second initially unfishied as we're not sure what the space will be used for. I'm insulating underneath and around my slab and footings. The concrete guy mentioned that it might only be a...
