Hey guys, I'm getting close to being able to do the new wiring for my garage! :-) I've relocated my 60 amp subpanel from my basement into my garage successfully! I didn't get electrocuted once, and the magic smoke is still properly stored inside the cables! I'm getting ready to start wiring...

Not a lot of pictures to post, but I got the sub panel live last night. I decided that running #6 THHN through conduit *****. :lol_hitti I also decided that the previous owner who wrote, "Basement Outlets" on a circuit that was on the old sub panel (that I'm moving to the garage) needs to be...

Just got a quote. To get the lumber I need, (4x8 1/2" OSB * 11, 2x4 * 10, 4x4 * 4), I can get it from Menards for $195.70 (Including $19 + $4 gas surcharge + $4 for my gas to get there and back). Local lumber yard wants $210 to have it delivered. So I guess the question is, is my 2 hours of...

I was thinking of going with a hardwood. Maybe stranded bamboo. I figured it would have the same issues with liquids as LF though. I don't intend to get water, oil, grease, etc spilled on it. I just know that $!(* happens, and I want to give my bench the best chance possible. I just don't...

I just bought some to insulate a spot in my attached garage wall. I like that it's higher R value and fire resistant. The Lowes I went to had a guy with a demo table. He had a torch setup to show that it wont catch fire. Very neat stuff. Significantly more expensive than fiberglass though.

I'm in a similar spot. I have a Fusion and my wife has an element. The only way I could fit an 4x8 in the element is with the wood sitting on it's side and sticking out a few feet in the back. There also would be very little way to secure it. I could maybe put it on the roof, but I'd have to...

Spent some time getting the electrical outlet boxes mounted. Made me wish I had a chalk line. :-( I've got the conduit situation figured out. I didn't want to run THHN the entire way, (it would be difficult to run the conduit for THHN in the basement), so I'm going to take the existing 6/3...

I know this was a couple months ago, but I was looking at doing something like that myself. My main concern was liquid getting into the surface. Have you had any issues like that? Maybe a few layers of poly to seal it up?

After looking at your numbers again, your main mistake is that you assume a 2x4 is 2" x 4". It's actually 1.5x3.5. A 2x6 is approximately 1.5" x 5.5".

I believe the no air gaps refers to the sides of the insulation. Thus those sizes are perfect for the cavities you said they're not thick enough for.

If it works, using casters will reduce the weight capacity of the bench.

How steep is the hill? Maybe you could put a storage basement under it in the back. Just don't hire the guys that this guy hired...http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209748

Ouch. I hope you get something from these deadbeats. It's sad to hear that companies would operate this way.

The one reason I haven't actually signed up for Amazon Prime is because I can't find a good front end for their instant video. Sure, I know I could watch their stuff on some kind of set top box like a Roku or even my PS3. The problem is, my TV watching is all done on our "Home Theater PC"...

I order a ton off the internet. Prime is NOT worth it for shipping costs alone. If I want something that's under $25 (now $35), I just save it in my wishlist for later. If I need it now, I pull something off my wishlist to reach the cap. Simple as that. Having said that, Prime may be worth...

If that bin is made solid, I would pay $65 for it. I'd still try to talk it down to $50, but $65 doesn't seem unreasonable. I love that it has the sizing cutouts built in.

For my basement, I bought three wire shelves like that. I wanted shelves that were a little taller, so I took the extra shelves that I didn't use and I hooked the shelving units together. So my 3 shelving units became 5 units. My basement is dry, so I didn't need the bottom shelf on any of...

There aren't many crowds that Adam wouldn't fit in with. :-) I remember he gave a talk at Defcon back in 2009 I think it was. Defcon is a giant hacker conference in Las Vegas.

Any link to the cabinets? I'm curious about size and cost.

Were you able to take much of the stuff you had worked so hard on? The brake, workbench, drawers, etc???
