    Garage is 99% complete!

    Your way sounds better. I bought a lot of (12) used T12-48" light fixtures (with a box of lamps) for $45. and installed them before the ceiling was installed. When it was time to drywall the ceiling it was a real pain to work around the fixtures. We tried taking down the first set of three but...

    Garage is 99% complete!

    Thanks Jim, I've been restoring, rebuilding, and repairing motorcycles for quite a while (I've even dabbled into cars and trucks too). I don't end up keeping them, just play with them when they're done then down the road they go. Right now I have a 2004 HD to ride for the summer but who knows...

    Garage is 99% complete!

    Thanks everyone, the donut and ice cream cone are still on the relocated minibarn (see pic below). I scored those from a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins restaurant that was closing nearby. I welded up some mounts and on top of the minibarn they went. Good conversation pieces except every morning...

    Garage is 99% complete!

    I started my garage project at the end of last summer. We have a 10' x 16' minibarn that we moved from one end of the yard to another end (still a great storage shed, can't have enough storage). We cleared the area for our 24' x 24' garage project. Once we cut down all the trees and grinded down...

    I'm a noobie with a heating question

    Now that the weather is getting unpredictable, it's too late to trench a gas line out to the garage (it's becoming a muddy mess). I'm going to wait a few months and install a new unit instead. I've been looking at the Big Maxx (Mr Heater) at Northern Tool or possibly the Hot Dawg by Modine...

    I'm a noobie with a heating question

    Once the gas line is hooked up (as well as primary power), I can light the pilot light, then blow it out and the gas shut off valve should click off. If the gas stops flowing to the pilot were golden. Wally

    I'm a noobie with a heating question

    Thanks to the people at Reznor, they sent me some old schematics for their outdated models. Here's the wiring diagram for this unit (LUS25F) and a few others. Wally

    I'm a noobie with a heating question

    Thanks, I do have some notes that I made before I unwired the box (the primary power wire was very old and needed replacing) and I also needed to unwire the fan so I could remove it to clean everything (I tested it as well and both high-speed and low speed works). My notes get me about 80% wired...

    I'm a noobie with a heating question

    I've been a big fan of the Garage Journal forum but haven't posted yet. I started building a 24' x 24' garage last Fall and I'm making some great progress. I have a series of photos posted on my website here. I've been heating the garage (while we drywall) with a G73 240v electric heater. It...
