    Drywall in the shop; Pros and Cons

    I'm in the middle of putting 15/32 (1/2) plywood up in my garage. One side is sanded and looks really good, it's $22 a sheet from Lowes. I'm taking a ton of time to make sure all the joints line up as close as possible and cutting everything out before it goes up. So far, I think it looks...

    Heads up for novice garage wiring guys

    I messed up the boxes on my ceiling... I forgot about the depth of the strapping plus the 1/2 plywood. I bought some extenders but haven't messed with them yet. A lot of my wall boxes seem crooked as well, not sure how I messed that up. :dunno: I also put all my outlets in and had to wait...

    Need to Heat 30x53x16

    Mine is 28x54x15 with leaky rollup doors and a bunch of windows. I called the Beacon Morris guys and they suggested the 120K. I have the concentric vent kit so it pulls fresh air from outside. I just finished the install last week so I haven't used it yet but I expect it will do the job...

    Stereo shelf ideas?

    I actually put mine up earlier this week. Just a couple brackets and some plywood scrap. I put a quad outlet up near it that runs the receiver and bluetooth dongle and then tied the outlets to a lower switch near the lights. Now I just flip the switch and the receiver and bluetooth turns on...

    Tire/wheel storage?

    I bought a couple of the tirerack ones off Amazon. They were cheap enough that it wasn't worth my time to make something. I'm not sure I would want to mount them higher than I could reach from the floor. Trying to move 80lbs wheel/tire combos on a ladder doesn't seem like fun. I'm in the...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT White Mountains Garage 28x54

    We put up a few boards on the "control" side of the garage. A lot of measuring and cutting for this one. Nest thermostat is in and I also wired up the heater... The thermostat turns on so I'll take that as a good sign. IMG_20171018_133026 by MikeTTA89 Hopefully heat soon!

    Above 1200 Sq/FT White Mountains Garage 28x54

    I found out that in NH there is a law that the gas company needs to hook up all gas appliances. So I pulled a permit and made an appointment for them to come out. In the mean time, we decided to finish the two rows on the ceiling so I took down all the lights and we measured and precut all the...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT White Mountains Garage 28x54

    Some more updates.... I talked to the guys at Beacon Morris and ended up ordering a 120K BTU propane heater. The garage has uninsulated roll up doors, lots of windows, etc so I need a lot of heat. I only plan to run heat while I'm out there so I'm not concerned about trying to keep the temp...

    Beacon Morris BRT 120 Propane Heater

    Slowly chipping away.... Called the Propane company 3 times in the past 24 hours and nobody has called me back yet to setup an appointment to finish this thing. :shocking: I still need to clean up the wiring but the heater is powered and thermostat wire connected. Insulation and part of the...

    Beacon Morris BRT 120 Propane Heater

    I found out that NH has a law that your gas provider needs to hook up the appliance. I had to pull a permit and wait for an appointment. They came out this morning and stubbed the propane and did a leak test. So far so good.... by MikeTTA89 I'm going to finish the insulation and put up...

    Venting a Reznor 75K BTU unit heater.

    If you need to get an inspection, I would try and talk to the inspector and see what he wants to see and go from there. The problem I find with *some* contractors is that they have installed "thousands of these" but they are not current on the latest codes, models, venting procedures so are...

    ordered my Reznor!

    It's like $235 bucks for a horizontal vent kit. I'm not sure why so many people think this is "$$$$$" expensive? How much more is it than a vertical kit? $100 bucks? $150 bucks? Big deal.... http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/heater-pipe2.shtml
