So they make extensions lol. Needed 1" octagon box extension so I used two 1/2" extensions for the lights and for the outlets they make extensions also.

Ok so my siding is up and looks good. So i picked up some lights and covers for the electrical boxes. The lights can be directly mounted in the vinyl siding box, I think i need to grab an extender for the electrical to mount to. Is this correct...

Great idea

The high lift keeps the door around 6" from the roof on the front to 8" on the back for clearance. There is no way that a normal opener would fit in there. Also if it couldthe angle of the pull would be to great for the motor to handle. check my post out for pics of the door installed. I...

Hey, I'm looking at eaither a 50,000 BTU Unit Heater from Princes Auto or I found a used and working 20ft Radiant Heater rated at 80,000 BTU for the same price. My concern is if the 80,000 BTU is over sized for my garage. Garage dimension are 28x20 with 13 foot ceilings. R16 walls and garage...

Made some progress, doesn't look like much but electrical, vapor berrier sure took me a long time. Garage door installed with high lift. It keeps the door 5-8 inches from the ceiling. Also sheeted the ceiling, fron and back wall with 1/2 inch plywood, and installed the mezzanine. Still have to...

The garage is a detach so no interior walls and the heater is a hanging unit heater. Should I install the thermostat below the heater? my walls are 13ft. only problem is that the heater is on the side of the window. Or do I install it at the back left corner as that is where they work bench...

Hey Guys, I'm going to be installing a Unit Heater for my 28x20 shop/garage. The only question I have is where to install the thermostat? I was thinking below the Unit Heater itself or on the wall between the man door and garage door where i have the light switches. In the p]icture its the...

What receptical do I use for a 220v 30a Mig Welder and compressor? I ran 3/10wga run for both but not sure on the receptical to use. To beable to pass the elctrical I will need to have them finished, however I don NOT have a welder or compressor yet. Hopefully in winter when the garage/shop is...

my wife just did our cabinets in the kitchen. she stripped them with Circa 1918 and sanded them down. The Circa 1918 worked great! Oh yeah, I wanted to mention that she is doing this because the Garage/shop comes first before the kitchen. So stripping and fixing the current cabinets was her...

Great advice and from actual experience. Thanks

What size of Tech cable is required for 100 Amp service? Im thinking of running 3wire/6gauge tech for 60 amps. I'm thinking I might not really need 100amp service as i'm heating with NG What do you guys think?

Cost right now as I have to dig up my front yard and driveway to upgrade to a 200Amp service right now and with the cost of the shop I can't afford it this year. I want the shop done ;)

On night shift again, rewording the question Current setup 100 Amp Service House = 100 Amp Panel *Panel is full no room left so I'm going to upgrade the panel but DO NOT want to upgrade the service yet House Panel will have a 60 Amp breaker that will feed into my Garage's 100 Amp panel...

Roughed in the electrical and gas. Hoping to finish up the trench and get the gas/electrical rough in inspection completed this week.

Ok so after some more input and great advice here is my new layout with a wattage breakdown. I needed to create a wattage breakdown for my home owners permit. I'm going to be running a 60Amp breaker from my house to the panel in the garage. The panel in the garage came with a 100Amp breaker.

I'm going to be running another 240v with a 30amp breaker for a compressor but the 240V w/ 30amp breaker for the welder I want to split off from a switch which will either energiez the North outlet or the South outlet. Put I do get your idea of just running another circut with a 30amp breaker...

Here is my new layout idea based on advice from you guys and others, but I still have questions :D 20amp Breaker = 13 x 120V Outlets (4 on each of the 3 walls) and 1 right of garage door 20amp Breaker = Power for Gas Unit Heater Fan, 2 x 120V pluggins on the ceiling 20amp Breaker = 8 x T8 4...

Thanks for the info, I was trying to look that up. I currently don't have a big comp yet. I just want to have everything wired correctly for when i do. Thanks!

Thank you Mark for such great advise! I will definatley put ceiling fixtures on different switches. And I wont do switches for the 220 applications, But can I run an extra 220 plugin from the same breaker for a welder near the garage door?
