Thanks fellas, here are some more pics of the electrical. Let me know if you see anything that looks like it is done incorrectly as far as Canadian code goes. DSC05136 by binderpilot, on Flickr DSC05138 by binderpilot, on Flickr I made good use of what I learnt on here as far as tagging the...

Making some great progress on the chambers in the last few days. I have decided to do all the electrical myself. Since there is so much valuable information here and I have my best resource available (google), and a member here named Teken I am confident in getting it done. I decided I would...

That is excellant to know, I love the setup and want to do something similar only I want to have the ability to rearrange the shop whenever it is convenient or neccasary. Thank you for your honest reply.

Looking good, quick question, do you think those cabinets are rigid enough that a person could put castors underneath and be able to move them around the garage without them falling apart?

Thanks for the kind words fellows, the yard is coming along nicely. We had the house built last year and the landscaping and what not seem to take forever when we are doing everything we can ourselves. Here is some more pics of the build so far: I thought about putting in an attic access ladder...

Thank you, I love the old school muscle. The tuner kids don't give these cars the respect they deserve, that is until the light turns green :rocker::) then the respect is given lol. Here is some more pics of the build: DSC05084 by binderpilot, on Flickr DSC05085 by binderpilot, on Flickr...

Good day all, I have began the tedious job of building a man cave/workshop for my 1969 GTO and thought I would share the journey with you all in hopes of getting some useful feedback. I am going to call it "The Judge's Chambers". Here is a pic of what I will be parking in it: degoat-1 by...

I went and purchased the 12-2 wiring to do the main plugs already, just haven't had any luck finding the black 20a rated receptacles yet. Basicly what you are telling me is the weakest link, in this case 15a receptacle, is what the circuit will be rated for even if I have 12-2 wiring going to a...

Excellant advice, thank you fellows. I have a copy of the code now thanks to Teken, I will see what it says as well as consult with a friend of mine who is a commercial electrician. I will post what I find out so that if the question arises again there is a clear answer. I am going to put the...

So do I need to buy 20amp receptacles or are my 15amp going to work?

I originally bought 14-2 wire and receptacles to wire single receptacles for plugging in work bench. If I read this correctly all I need to do is buy new wire (12-2) and tie that into the same receptacles I was going to use correct? Do I need to buy a different receptacle? Originally I was going...

Well noted about the 20amp circuits. I plan on putting all benchs on rollers so I can move them around to where I need them. I will then have a power bar that I plug into the wall to feed off benchs. I have 2-20 amp breakers on this panel so I will get some 12-2 wire and wire all the lower...

Thanks for the replies guys, this breaker box I was going to use is a square D box that was a spare from a different project here at work. The only disconnect for it would be the 60amp breaker I have in the sub panel in the house where the feed is coming from. I was hoping there would be a...

Good day all I have finally reached the point that I can begin to wire "The Judge's Chambers". I am wanting to tackle this myself but I was wondering if anyone on here could give me a few pointers as far as doing it properly and to code. I have researched quite a bit on this but it is amazing...

Cant wait to see how this unfolds, I just got started on my own 20x20 this past week I will post a build thread as well. subscribed

Fellow Pontiac fan here loving what you have done, subscribed.

Re: Rick's Double Garage in Calgary, CAN I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it done properly but then after quite a bit of discussion between friends of mine that told me how easy it was I tried it. Here is a sprayer similar to the one I used. I just chose the cheapest one as it is a one...

Re: Rick's Double Garage in Calgary, CAN I love what you have done with your garage Rick, a true inspiration. I was curious as to whether you have gotten around to getting your exposed aggregate driveway resealed yet? Reason I ask is I just recently did mine and thought I would share with you...

I am leaning towards the Werner wooden ladder that Home Depot sells here in Canada. I phoned the place that sold me the attic truss' and asked them to look into how much weight I could put on them. They called me back and said 15 lb per square foot on the bottom and 100lbs per square foot on the...

Good day all, I am in the final phases of planning for my 20x20 garage build and had a question about attic access. I am making the garage with a peak height of 16' 9" which will allow me to have 10' ceilings inside with enough of an attic that I can use for cold storage, x-mas tree and such...
