Re: Interior gas line re-piping- Material options, STEEL vs CSST. Lets chat! I installed a 6 burner 36" Bluestar industrial range. Used a 1/2" drop. Never had a problem. I don't think my wife will ever use all 6 burners and oven at the same time. Lol. It is propane though, so a little higher...

In our 24x44 Gabriel style loft above the 3 bay garage, we close cell spray foamed 2-3 inches providing r13-14, and vapour barrier,then stuffed as much fiberglass insulation in as possible.maybe r60 in the upper area and r40 in other areas. The efficiency that 1000 sqft is heated and stays warm...

I have ceiling mounted 50' 3/8" retractable. One each for the garage and woodshop roughly centre mounted. For outside work, I just run the retractable just out side the garage door, then hook up a 100' 1/4" line on a manual reel like this. Fine for most uses other than high volume...

I went through this exact scenario a few years ago. 24x44 loft space, Gambrel roof design, 11' ceilings. I had 2" of closed cell spray foam put in and then the rest with fiber glass. I searched for awhile the question of adding 6 mil vapour barrier also. Couldn't get a definitive answer even...

Just finished putting one in. The above is what the manual says if sunlight is a problem. My sensors lines up perfectly the first time with no adjustments needed. I have grandkids. Could not live with myself if something happened. You know kids you can't watch them constantly. Sent from my...

https://www.hearthstonestoves.com/wood I put a soapstone stove in about 10 years ago. Great stove, but pricy. I guess you could call it "****". Sent from my ASUS_Z01HD using Tapatalk

From Canada where vapour barrier is generally code everywhere (6 mil). That said if your not in a cold climate and don't plan to heat your interior , vapour barrier could not be needed. Vapour barrier is always applied on the inside (warm) side. It is not so much to stop moisture but air flow...

Like many. 2 coats Kiltz oil primer and then paint of your choice. I used an oil gloss white. Painted everything before installing. Used a drywall lift to install. Nice tight seams. Touched up with a brush after, all the screws and seams that weren't perfect. Nice and bright and never have to...

Sorry if not worded properly, the slab does not sit on the walls, its poured inside the foundation walls on a compacted base. The structure is supported by the footings and walls.

Here, a slab for a garage can be no bigger than 500 sq'. After that typical, build with footings 4' down or to bedrock, block or form walls to grade to support the structure and then compacted stone with poured concrete inside. I have a 20x 24 with the slab method, and unless the base is well...

Wrong on that depending on climate. Any cold climate must have a vapour barrier or a seal of some kind which is exactly what closed cell spray foam does even only a few inches. You must stop air flow from cold to the warm side. Experiencing -30 c this year a few times illustrated all to clearly...

I get mine from a mill in Madoc, hwy 62 and hwy 7. Not sure if they wood haha.....deliver. I trailer mine to my cottage about 40 kms north on 62. http://www.wilsonforestproducts.ca I'm about to get about 1,000 sq' of red pine 8" flooring for the loft part of the garage. Can't wait to install...

Forgot to add I coat it before putting it up do your done right after its up. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

I have done lots of t & g pine mostly 1x10s. I like to put it horizontal. Kinda gives a log look. If you're in a colder climate, definitely have to have 6 mil vapour barrier covering your insulation then the pine on the studs. I use water-based Varathane by Flecto. The easiest and best finish...

Sorry, to add, cut the intake and test drawing warmer air from inside. You could reattach after. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Went down to -33C. A few nights ago. No issues with our propane forced air. Our fresh air intake is not from outside though from right off the furnace located in the basement. Possibly the air being drawn in from outside side is too cold causing a temporary freeze up. I know generally this...

It all depends on the stove. Specs on my stove was 15" to combustible. It had a heat shield on the back. Also using double wall stove pipe reduces the distance to combustible s to within 6" Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Yes. That is the spec that it had to be 18" off the ground to the door height, not the legs. I have it on blocks and a patio slab. Off course you still need the right distance to the ceiling as well. I have 9' ceiling s ,so no problem. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Here in Canada no problem. My insurance had no problem but do require a WETT certificate to verify it meets all codes. I just installed 2 , one in my workshop and one in the loft above. Had to pay $225 each for the certification. He was very thorough and very detailed with his report. I only...

Took a little while to find, I had a hairline crack on the 1/4" drain valve casing. Cheap valve, I put a new one one, didn't over tighten it. Leak resolved. Check that as well. Not a spot you think about. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
