After getting quotes of 50K for basic 26x26 unfinished garage in Southern NH (We did have extra site prep) we said screw it and bought a vacation home up north for 160K with a monster garage. :) Good Luck! I find that I need to double whatever someone from the southern or midwest states pays...

Thanks guys... Should I also get GFCI breakers for this? :shocking:

I ran 6/2 wire before I had bought a welder thinking I would need a 50amp breaker for the welder. I've now decided to buy a Millermatic 211 and the instructions say to use a max breaker of 30amp. So now my dilemma is that 6 gauge wire won't fit into a 30amp breaker. I see two options: 1...

2000 trips up and down the ladders this weekend and the lights are DONE! Feels great to do it yourself. I have never done anything like this before and had my wife standing with a broom ready to knock me over as I was wiring the circuits into the panel for the first time. :shocking::thumbup...

Thanks for the idea but I want to wait until I can drywall it. I'd like it to look really nice when its all done... whenever that is. My goal right now is to get lights and heat working so I can work on my 67 Mustang. It's a 390FE on the stand... Eventually it will be a 445 stroker but look...

Thanks guys! I had my wife standing out there with a broom and told her to knock me over if I started getting shocked. She didn't think it was amusing :pimpflash I wired in 3 new circuits for 15x 8 Foot T5 fixtures. It looks awesome! Now I can get to work on stuff IN the garage instead of...

Never done this before... Just triple checking so I don't do it wrong. :D I'm wiring up a new 20amp circuit for T5 lights. I have the romex run to the bottom of the panel. This is the garage panel which has a 100amp feed to a subpanel at the house. I'm going to flip the top main breaker to...

I had a quote of $5000 to drywall, tape, and mud the garage which didn't include insulation or paint. I don't have the budget to do it all at once so when the time comes I'll pull the lights down and have the drywall installed. For now, I want to get the lights and other electrical done so I...

Almost a year has passed and I haven't done much in the garage until the past few days. Winter in New Hampshire with no heat in the garage does not make it very motivating to get out there. Swapped the snow wheels/tires off the cars and bought a couple tire racks from amazon. Put them in...

There is a large deck on the side of the house. The mountains are to the right and out of sight of the picture. It's not really a "view" lot as I'd have to cut down trees but it's still very nice. A roof deck would be awesome. :-)

The house was a cottage built in 1950 and the garage was built in 2010. The previous owners built the garage as storage for their 40ft RV and and other toys like snowmobiles and ATVs. With the purchase of the property they included detailed plans for the house they were going to build next to...

Yep :) I need one more for the wife. I'm leaning towards a GSX SE but I think she is going to love the quiet smooth ride of the 900 ACE better than the air ride and heated seat.

Slow and steady wins the race.... Not a ton of progress. I have a basic wiring diagram figured out. My brother-n-law and a friend came up a few weekends ago and we finished strapping the ceiling and doing the rough wiring. I bought two 12 foot step ladders and they look tiny... It sure is...

Welcome from NH. :) Make sure you edit your profile and add your location.

I finally got back up there. Thanks so much! Added more dimensions to the drawing from page 1, garage doors are roll up. The ceiling will be 15 feet to the sheetrock and I'd like to use T5HO if possible to reduce the amount I need.

Link your pictures from somewhere like www.photobucket.com :shocking:

Not a whole lot of progress so far. I'm trying to figure out the electrical plan for lights, switches, fans, welders, etc. The first step is to try and plan where I am going to install lifts in this place and then work everything around that. I borrowed a truck to drag more stuff up to the...

Hi Scott, I don't really have any info on them but here is a picture of the door tag.

We have ours getting installed on Monday... I was already worried even before reading this. We have a huge sink that they haven't seen before as well...

Any chance I could get some help with a layout? I'm working on and restoring cars and would love some good light. I have 15 feet to the top of the ceilings. It will be finished drywall with the common white ceilings and walls down to about a 4 foot grey section at the bottom of the walls...
