I also noticed the dayton G73. AC is really not that inportant here in MN. nothing a ceiling fan cant handle. I may just go with a electric heater instead of a combo unit

I dont want to run gas to my garage. I dont know much about a heat pump besdies that it acts as heater and a/c unit. Correct? Would it also be more efficiant than a resistance only heater? I just want something to heat or cool the garage on occasion. I wouldnt need to constantly heat the...

I have read a few places where people use dedicated ckt for the garage door opener. I personally dont see any reason to do such a thing. I just hooked it up to one of my (2) 20a ckts which have about 6 outlets on each Does anyone want to convinve me otherwise? I am sheetrocking Wed, so I have...

I am in the same spot as you. I will leaving one coiled wire from the switch above in the attic, then drywall. then I will mount the lights where I want them, run the coiled wire to the nearest light, then feed all the other lights from above. Then insulate. Not only is is easier electrically...

Thanks. Shouldve know to search first

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=55391 Shipping is $86 Still comes out to $250 for a two stage compressor. Far as I know anything comparable is well over $600

Do most of you guys put 1 light to the left and right of the garage door and then a flood up near the peak in the middle above the garage door and one light at the service door? Or is the flood at the peak overkill?

Thanks for the comments guys. I prob wouldnt ever need a compressor for more than painting or using a cut-off wheel. Yes by yellow I was refering to the jacket on the 12ga wire.

I may or may not ever need a 220v compressor. But I will wire my garage for one anyways. My question is. Do i need more than a 20a 220v circuit for one? Also can I use a 12-2 yellow wire w/ground and just use/label the white conductor as a hot?

Where is your motion sensor? It looks like you mounted the flood in the wall not the eave, is that correct? I was thinking of doing this same thing

doubt it. Im in St. Paul, so Its quite the urban area. Plus the height of my house is 16' and I wouldnt want the garage towering the house. The beam Idea mentioned above is interesting, but looks more costly.

Great thanks. Since I dont care what the overhang is (less is better here since its near the property line) I will prob just order the 24' truss and hopefully it will have a 4" overhang or something close to that. I'll talk to the manufacturer first though

So is it true that when I build a 24' wide garage I order 24' wide trusses? I always thought I would order 26' wide trusses for 1' of overhang on each side. Someone told me that it doesnt work that way?!

Thanks for the tips guys

I was thinking of building a shed attached to the back of my garage to create some more wall space to store stuff. Anybody ever do this?

Hello I am building a 24x24 garage from scratch. My pitch will be 4/12. I am probably going with a 9' wall because I am limited to a 15' tall building. Sometime in the future I may want to install a lift in the garage so I can jack my car up. I know ill need about 12' ceiling to be able to stand...
