so the garage is still under construction but getting there. I would like to poke around here to see what ideas some of you have. The garage is 600sqf with ten foot walls and cathedral ceilings. It will be used mainly to store a car during the winter months and possibly do some work on it. I...

that stuff looks great, but I dont think they sell that in canada. amazon.ca has it for 271.00$ lol

we are not allowed to have wood burning stoves anymore in our area. too bad, would have been amazing.

im in the same boat as you, from canada and looking to get something that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to heat up a 600sqf garage. right now i bought two 2500w baseboard heaters but think that this will cost a lot to run and keep the garage at least at 15 degrees Celsius.

fixed the issue after much arguing with home depot. swapped it out for the correct one! thanks guys!

Hi, it is almost 600sqf, with cathedral ceilings. It will be used for mainly storing one car in the winter and sometimes two. Might wash them once in a while in garage. I will have some tools where I might do some minor work (wood). There will also be a lot of storage and cabinets, lawn...

Well its not smooth like a real polish. All that was done was the helicopter so the concrete is still rough, but smoother than what it would have been without the helicopter.

Hi all, thanks for the advice. I have not been able to take a photo of the problem area but will dig it up to take a photo, the landscaper covered it all up in dirt. spoke to home depot and they dont wanna take it back at all. they said its cut to measure and nothing that they are willing...

I spent like 4 hours running the wire 10 feet at time! :( I was told that this wire is fine in a conduit both above and underground. :confused: man just my luck. which wire do you think is the right one? what are the issues of running of this wire? is there anyway that i can salvage this...

I know I am posting a lot these days but I want to do it right the first time. So the foundation slab was just poured yesterday and it is was polished by helicopter too. How should I plan on finishing my floors? should I just seal it? epoxy? or leave it? the contractor polished it because I...

Hi there, I am starting my 14 1/2 foot by 37 foot garage with cathedral ceilings. I wanted to know what you would recommend for a garage my size. The garage will be mainly to store one car and sometimes two cars, it will also serve as a workshop (wood) and a place for me to change my tires and...

Hi all, so finally the city has approved my plans after going back and forth many times. My foundation just went down so I passed my water pipes and my 3awg wire for a new subpanel in detached garage. I was passing it through a 1 1/4 inch pvc pipe once I ended up outside. The run ended up...

Thanks:thumbup:

I just know the basics of electrical like wiring up plugs and lights and heaters. After you mentionned aluminum vs copper I read up the differences and disadvantages to each. But it hasn't spoken about the amperage, mainly about cost. Yes I absolutely want to do it right and only once. Some of...

I'm in suburb of montreal, Canada. Yes it is in all in copper. Is there an issue?

Hi all, I was given information that I would need three #4 wires and one #8 for the ground all passed in a conduit. I have not been able to find the wires that Bruce has mentionned in my area....

I have the msz model. The issue with mine is that when I have it in ac mode the compressor just never stops running. Some people have mentioned that this is due to the placement outside. It is under a dim so it might not be getting enough airflow. But this is never mentioned anywhere in the...

I believe that an ev car like a tesla would do 60 amps I would then have a few LEDs lights or lamps which doesn't draw much. In the winter I would have most likely two heaters of 1500w running. Other times I would have a tablesaw, compressor, other power tools running but not at the same time...

I have delays with the plans for the city. Needed an architect to have it stamped and that just adds up more costs and more problems. I still didn't get to figure out what type of wire will do the job..... I've gone to my local hardware store and they don't seem to know much Need to shed...

Hi everyone, I have come across a clearance sale at Home Depot in Canada(where I’m from). I didn’t know which one of the door garage door openers to buy so I just bought them both. The whisper drive came out to 150$ and the belt drive came out to 100$. I feel like these are solid deals as I’m...
