yea....my only criteria for my new house is a good garage setup....and pics are always lacking if I lived in Newnan you'd have an offer from me!

There is no alarm now. I just want an loud(ish) alarm if someone comes into my garage and doesn't disarm the thing in 30 or so seconds no monitoring needed, just a deterent and notification may try some cheap amazon options first

Yea...keep this thread going.....cool to see how garages/life progresses

Keep us updated! Thats an odd concrete deformity We just put up a 30x40x12 metal building with 3 - 10x10 doors a few months ago in NC

thanks. i don't need it tied to any monitoring or from an 'official' alarm co.....just to scare any intruders away didn't even think about a cheap keypad....Thanks!

I'm looking for a specific (but cheap?!) motion alarm for inside my garage......however I don't want it immediatly start screaming 120 db as soon as I walk in the door.....I want it to beep of something to give me time to shut it off but if a burgler comes in, he won't know how to shut it off...

I'm talking about 2/0 MHF direct bury for 80-100 amps at 200 ft (more like 170 ft, but round up)

what amperage are you planning? how are you going to land it at the shop? a 'lugged' main panel and then feed a regular breaker panel?

600v is just another capcity data point. just copied/pasted from a catalog. will breaker at 80 amps most likely.

yea...sure did. lots of good info here, just catching it up to current times. NEVER? i see data that it can hold 600v / 135a I start with 120V and end with 115v at 180ft (the real number to the sub panel....then wiring of circuits from there) when at 80 amps per an online calc. Will I...

So now we are in 2023......what do I need to buy to run 100 amps 200 ft? Still 2-2-2-4 Al mobile home feeder direct bury? Will never use 100a at one time as far as I know, but might as well future proof it. 100 amp breaker at the house and 100 amp breaker at the new garage. I've been hearing...

Oh no doubt I get the dry ness part thanks to overhangs.....its a bit hard to tell exactly how far it overhangs on some of the pics you posted. With all the heavy wind talk there, I hope you strapped that thing down well! Looks good!

Nice build everywhere man! Been folllwing since the beginning. You sure do seem quite efficient! Good luck on the jb hunt. Its for sure a huge pain. Do have a question.....why the giant air catcher roof on the trailer?

looking forward to more updates!

I just poured a monolithic slab with a section for a 2 post lift (9k-10k capacity). I used 4k fiber mesh concrete for the entire pour at 4" thick and went down an add'l 4" ( so 8" total) for the lift area. 4 ft wide x 14 ft long is the lift pad area. 31 ft x41 ft pad with 12 in footers and...

Thanks....more Youtube time! just what I need

What are the plans? man cave? Storage? Combo of both?

very sweet car. not that many around! I was gonna say to get a ranger or colorado in place of the f150 as they can tow and haul as much as a 20 year old f150, but I guess you made a different choice!
