This calculator seems pretty accurate. I have a 19.5x26 garage with a ceiling that averages about 12'. Insulation is R19 in the walls, R21 in the cathedral area, R30 in the ceiling, and an insulated slab. I selected good insulation and the calculator says just over 24k Btu. My current heater is...

A two post lift generally has a cable or chain that keeps the two arms level. This cable or chain can run over the top of the lift (clear floor) or run across the floor under a steel cover.

A friend of mine has the 9f. He went with it because he only had a 11' ceiling. Many of the clear-floor lifts have a top beam that requires a 12' or greater ceiling. He has been using it for about 2 years now and has not had any problems with.

Would 10' off the back wall of a garage be to close for an asymmetrical lift?

I consulted with Bendpak when I was having my slab poured. They referred me to a few docs to answer my questions. I recall reading slab repair instructions in one of them if the slab was cracked within **" of the posts. It was what you are looking for. I don't recall where I saw it. Give them a...

With the asymmetric I was hoping to be able to only go back 10' from the front wall and still have room for a 30" workbench in front of it. Not sure If I can work this out. I am going to have them make the pads 2' x 4' so I will have some room to work with when I eventually get the lift. I...

I need some feedback from current owners of asymmetric lifts. My floor gets poured in the next few days and we are doing piers. To keep this short I need to keep the lift as close to the front of the garage as possible. I am looking at a Bendpak 10ac. Bendpack calls for 12' from the front wall...

My architect specified 2x6 walls for my 11'+ plate height. It does cost a bit more but it is built like a rock which I like. I suppose I will make up the cost in x number of years with heating costs.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I looks like I am going to try to find a solid core 28" wood door and cut that down a bit. Making the entry wider is not an opton, if I had a pic you could see why. Thanks for the suggestions.

I struck out at all of the big box stores and local lumber yards. Unfortunately I don't have the option on going with anything larger then 28" and even that does not really allow me to use a molding on the inside corner. I am not worried about the size of the door. I have the 16' x 7' garage...

I am looking for a basic 6-panel entry door (Fiberglass or Steel) that is 24" - 26" wide for my garage. I have checked with a few companies (Thermatru and JeldWen) and no luck so far. Anyone know of any? Thanks,

If you already have a boiler you could also go with an indirect water tank and heat it as a zone off of your main system. Suburban and Atwood are two companies that make heaters for RV's. http://www.rvcomfort.com/suburban/products/water/water.php http://www.atwoodmobile.com/Products/default.cfm

I dump all of my old oil into a 5 gal gas can. Once a year I drive over to where my town has a dumping container for used motor oil & filters. The empty quart containers are drained overnight and left out on my curb on recycle night.

I ended up going with this model from Global. It says enclosed motor but not sealed. I think I will be ok, as I never work on large projects like a spray booths, just painting or staining small items...

I am looking for an exhaust fan with louvers to mount high in the rear wall of my garage. I would like to use the fan to exhaust fumes when staining or painting. The garage will be a 20' x 27' attached garage. I was looking at the 16” light duty (pn#19455K22) fan on page 621 on mcmaster.com. My...

I would go with the suggestion already made. Use a regular in floor safe and keep your files in a waterproof Pelican case inside of it. http://pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1430
