i have 12' ceilings and an 8' door, there is PLENTY of room... -cutts-

i have looked up a few things and the price diff was neglible... for instance the breaker panel was actually cheaper at HD! i have not found a good local elec supply house but then again, until now, i have not looked for one either! I live in Senoia, GA thanks guys -cutts-

just wondering if there are any better places to purchase all of my electrical supplies other than Home Depot. i am not in a hurry (although anxious) to get everything so i can wait and i do want to try an save some money. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -cutts-

i have 5 Home Depot T8 hanging shop lights in my attached garage and they dont cause any noise interference either. in fact i am very happy with them for 3 years now. i installed them one at a time due to budget and time constraints. wish i had purchased the contractor pack bc yes they are way...

this is awesome... i just had my garage built and the door installers highly recommended the LM3800 due to my high ceiling. thanks for the heads on the good prices! :thumbup: -cutts-

there is no such thing in a shop! -cutts-

i dont know how many ppl you are talking about but number codes are too easily shared. if you dont have some way to enforce "no sharing" then over time more and more ppl will have access. fingerprint scanners work great and are pretty easy to setup. we have a system like this at work where you...

ahhh, i had not thought about that true true! thanks guys for all the help.

i am in the planning stage of getting my wiring done and had a couple of questions about load balancing the breaker panel. a friend of mine tells me that the power company charges by taking the high load leg and doubling it to charge for the power usage. that seems like a little too much work to...

hate to say it but i agree... i think i would spring for a new door if you can afford it! either that or try and brace it with new struts http://ddmgaragedoors.com/parts/part/STR-300-20.html -cutts-

i know it doesnt look good but i am function over form kinda guy anyway. i used regular fiber insulation and tucked it into all the nooks and cranny's of my door. it made a huge diff! even in the summer with the sun beating on the door inside temps are still within 5* of the house. i priced...

another idea is instead of having a winch just mount an eyelet on the far side of the garage anchored in the concrete and then attach a ****** block (which is just a pulley). make a winch cable with a hook on each end. when you want to pull something in the garage hook one end to the disabled...

BINGO! of course i placed all of my outlets in easy reach but its WAY easier to stretch out the air hose than it is to unravel the extra hose to use the close outlet. i am about to move into a brand new garage and plan on just having two air reels... one by the garage door and one over my work...

thanks scotty, so basically i need to prep the floor regardless if it is new or 20y/o. i am thinking i will make some sort of welding/cutting mat i can put down when needed or just try to do the heavy work outside. i would like to talk to a professional/company about getting this done but i am...

i am looking for some help on flooring/epoxy for my brand new garage build. i have been searching and reading on here and other sites but i wanted to get some personalized advice for my situation. is it necessary to diamond grind a brand new floor? it was poured on April 5, so just a few days...

just to add my .02 worth... i have owned my 96 F350 crew cab long bed for 6 years now. i perform all the work myself (including a ****** rebuild) and the costs are very reasonable. i put a bypass filter system on and change my oil about every 8-10k miles. i have my oil tested once every 6 months...

dont know how true it is but i have heard that the PoCo takes the heavier leg and doubles it to calculate your cost. can anyone confirm or deny? -cutts-

thanks guys for all of your help. sorry i took so long to repost back but i have been busy digging and grading my site. not much time at night or on the weekends when you work during the day and then work some more when you get home! i will def call my power comp to come out and do a consult...

i use google sketchup in plan mode. works pretty good. -cutts-

Charles, thank you for your informative response. i just assumed that the power coming into the house was virtually unlimited. thats exactly what i was looking for. guess i am going the second meter route as i dont think 100amp panel will be sufficient for my needs BTW... you say you are 50...
