Thanks for the help. I will start the calculations to see the requirements. Also on pulling the pipe through the conduit, there is only 1 45 degree bend in the whole 90 foot run, do you think that this will be possible? If not, I probably won't worry about it until we are ready to actually...

Thanks for the response. I was planning on buying the flexible pipe that they have at Menards. I beleive that my current line is 1 inch black pipe and I would connect onto it. The only thing that is in the conduit is a satellite cable and CAT5 cable. I would rather not dig up the backyard...

Hello all, I have read the post here about nat gas pipe sizes and I am still a little confused. I just built a 24 X 28 garage with an upstairs loft. I am getting ready to insulate and drywall the place but have not bought a furnance or anything (it may be a while) but I would like to go ahead...

It is a small lift that works alot like a sump pump. The only reason I needed it was because there was so much drop in the elavation of the back yard. We had about a 5 foot drop and we needed to be 3 foot undergorund due to the frost line and we needed to go down into our basement and by the...

Hey guys, not alot to update cause of all the rain and mud. We did run power, water, and sewer this weekend. I am hoping that we pour the floor on Thursday. I do need some advice. I have read on here where some people recommend watering the concrete after it is poured to help the curing...

Dad, husband, Trust Division Manager at a small midwest financial institution. Unfortunately not always in that order.

All the siding is done and most of the soffit. All the electrical is stubbed in and the water and sewer is stubbed in. Just waiting on good weather to run the sewer and elctrical line to the main house. Also waiting for dryer weather to pour the floor and then the driveway. Here are few...

Things are moving slow again....weather in Illinois! We did get most of the siding up and the roof done, except the ridge vent. We were supposed to pour the slab yesterday but problems at the cement plant and now the rain will put that off until next week. Not sure about running the plumbing...

Great idea on the speakers. I never thought of that. We did stub in a 4 in conduit to run CAT5 wire, telephone, cable and a gas line. On Sunday all the water and sewer go stubbed in and Monday they got one side of the roof shingled and the siding started. Tomorrow should be the slab and...

Here are a few pictures of the upstairs that I took this morning.

I thought I would post a few pictures of the garage realtive to the house.

I am figuring the materials are around $10K with the plumbing fixtures and the 6 inches of concrete. I do have a contractor that is doing most of the stuff. I am do some stuff by myself but not alot. Also, most of the plumbing and the trench to the house with the elctrical is being done by my...

Some pictures of the inside along with the begining of the bathroom. We plan on getting everything stubbed in on Sunday. Not sure when we will dig the trench to the house. We have about 100 feet to the house and there was to much of an elevation drop so we installed a small lift.

We just put the soffit and doors up on Friday.

Here are some more, we have been working on this for a few weeks now.

Kind of new to the site and have been looking at everyones garages. I thought I would post pictures of our current project. I am having a 24x28 garage built in our backyard. We are putting in a small 5x5 bathroom with a toilet and sink. We are also having a 2nd floor with a couple of...

I never thought about heating them seperatly. Do you just use the kraft faced insulation that will fit in the 2X4 framing and something a little heavier for the ceiling? Also, I am planning on buying insulated doors. I think I will bury a gas line the same time I bury the elctrical and water...

I am having a 28 by 24 garage built with a loft. It will be 28 by 24 feet with an upstairs loft. The roof pitch will have a 12 by 12 pitch. There will 2 dormers on the front with 2 9X7 doors and a side access door. I will also be putting in a bathroom. The garage will set at to low of an...

I guess I am going through the same problem. I am in the process of building a garage with a loft with 2x4 walls. So i can only insulate so much, right? Do I insulate the ceiling of the main floor or just the roof of the loft? I know in Illinois it is way cheaper to run a gas line than it is...
