I went 28x36 with 12'walls on a 8in stem wall plenty of height and space with a attic truss. My full build is in my sig. Went salt box on the roof and all doors on the 36' side 10x10, 9x8 and 36" person door.

Hi Brian I had a similar situation on my 28x36. I found a used med efficiency hanging modine 70K btu unit for $100. Then I purchased a 2 ton Mr cool diy heat pump. When it is really cold out 30 and below (most of the winter) I run the propane averages about $3 per day then when the temp is...

Original motor I would be happy to sell it if anyone is interested in it. Probably needs a good contact cleaning and capacitor. Missing box cover.

Just found this topic! Picked up this press about a year ago and finally got around to rebuilding it. I don't think it was used much as the bearings and pulleys are in great shape. I decided to replace the motor with a 1/2hp 208v 3 phase unit with a 110V frequency drive. It works great and...

used BC 1/2" plywood will be leaving it bare love the look.

I would line up the stratus up against the bendpack any day of the week, both are very well built in china unfortunately. I could see spending the money if it was made in the US but its not. Additionally I knew that I wouldn't be using it every day so I figured I would give the stratus a...

I have had no issues, the thing will lift anything I put on it even had my deere on it today! Very solid with my Ram on it, no problem lifting or movement after lifted. Couple of minor scrapes from handling and fork trucks but other than that it was well packaged. Easy to install had it up in...

One thing I would do first is confirm that each of the wires in the sub panel go to the correct place to your main panel. Make sure leg 1 in main panel goes to leg 1 in sub neutral is neutral and leg 2 is leg 2 and the ground is good both ends. Without your wires marked in sub panel something...

I made an expansion dryer. If your compressor runs at 175 psi it is easy to do. Just installed a 40 gal tank I had surplus from work then made a tube that went down from the top bung 3/4" inside with a stainless mesh on the end goes almost to the bottom of the tank. On top of that tube sits my...

Exactly this! never had a leak even with cheaper pipe.

Used the metal T-braces on my 12' studded walls and they were great just made a saw kerf and pounded them in and fixed one end stood up the walls trued everything up then fastened them to each stud and the wall was rock solid without any sheathing. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Went both directions r23 between the bottom cord of the trusses then r30 going the other direction. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

I went with standard white metal roofing panels. Trusses were 2ft on center and I attached the metal right to the base of them, used standard Jchannel all around the perimeter . Used 14in of rock wool for insulation on the back side no issues.

The 73 was to the top of the pad with it screwed all the way down. They probably do there measurement with the pad 1/2 unscrewed. Or maybe they measure max lift and not back down on the last set of stops. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

I used metal for my ceiling and sealed all the edges it should be a pretty good vapor barrier. It will be interesting this winter to see how my humidity does. Used rockwool in my walls R23 and ceiling R53 Also did 6mil plastic on all the the walls and tape sealed it to the Jchannel for the...

FYI to anyone installing a Mr cool DIY, Make sure to check the DIY line adapters on the outdoor condenser unit found one of mine was loose and no vacuum inside the fitting. See pic I was installing My 24K unit on my garage this weekend and was getting ready to attach the line set to the outdoor...

Use a small piece of liquid tite or flexible metal conduit it fits in. Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk

Here is a picture of mine, I love the look!

op, Heat pumps can run flat out heating for days on end no issue or concern for the unit, if pushed past its heating capacity only problem will be lack of heat and expensive power bill.

Just buy a unit with freeze protection mode, it will keep your garage at 42-45 deg then you can turn it up when you work out there.
