    Calling perfectionists vs ‘send it people - mini split placement

    After the utmost care in measurements making sure I would have the perfect exit point on the exterior wall, I failed to realize I’ll be about 2 feet short on the line set from ideal condenser position. I wanted the IDU to sit fairly center in 3 car garage for optimal air flow, ultimately does...

    Garage seals, concrete, winter weather

    I’m on a mission to seal my overhead door as best I could short of buying new doors before committing to a mini split. R6ish, 2-layer door with single pane top glass living the life in MN. Bottom seal - replaced this summer. Flattens, freezes and sticks to concrete, ice melt draining from...

    I was all set for mini split, but…

    I was ready to buy and install because I was excited about the efficiency of it plus A/C. Then read how it’s better if it’s on all the time, poor rebound heat, etc. I have a 3 car garage where the main double door does go up and down frequently losing heat and I don’t plan keep heating all the...

    Overhead door window insulation

    My overhead door is somewhat stock insulated without steel backing along with single pane windows in top row. I feel like I’m losing a lot of heat from the single pane windows Looking for options to insulate that row - already check all the seals, no light is coming through anywhere on the...

    Aquor water hydrant inside garage?

    I have a bathroom on other side of wall in my garage which would make it easy to run softened water to wash cars. Anybody use these sleek hydrants? Is it overkill and should I just run a simple hot/cold hose bib. Trying to make it look like nothing is there…

    Dock fan vs ceiling fan placement

    Just finished my garage and started putting everything up. I am not sure if I should install a ceiling fan in the middle of the two lights or install the dock fan on the left corner. I have a heater on the right corner. 700sqft with 10ft ceilings. I am likely overthinking this but I would think...

    Racedeck FreeFlow vs Swisstrax vs other brands

    So what difference does it make between brands on Amazon? They all look the same. Is it longevity? Thickness? Warranty? Also, I live in MN… so cold climate, slush, snow, etc. I asked a similar question on using free flow tiles on garageporn subreddit and got completely chewed out for thinking...

    Troubleshooting garage door

    Calling garage techs: got my garage painted and not my door won’t close via opener. It opens just fine but on the way down it stops and goes back up. I checked the sensors, checked the rollers-little more resistance. Anything else I should look over? They didn’t touch garage door hardware when...

    Making shelves more aesthetic?

    So I built some wooden shelves to handle the Costco totes for storage. Now Im finishing and painting the walls, and essentially taking everything down…it made me think the wooden shelves don’t look that “nice.” I know, it’s a garage…but I want a nice tote solution. Everyone has cabinets I’m...

    Finishing drywall-get what you pay for?

    I’m getting quite the variation in quotes for mudding and taping and painting my 720sqft garage. All the drywall is mounted and [poorly] fire taped. There are big construction companies that can do it all and paint for $3500 and “little guys” off Facebook that can do it for $2000. I gotta...

    High lift and door seal issues..

    Just installed a high lift conversion and ran into snag (literally). Turns out the outer door seal is snagging the window frame on the outside of the door and causing quite a bit of friction with this cold weather. I’m currently just opening by hand, but I’d imaging this will be a problem if I...
