Welcome from the other side of the state.

Totally agree with Kevin54 on 24' depth. If you park a full size pick up or car, you end up being very crowded up front. We once had a 24' deep attached garage and it was a hassle. Also, not sure of your location, but doors on the wall side in snow country don't work we'll. Enjoy your...

I have a 10k Generac. It has been in service for 3yrs +. Runs off my 500 gal propane tank. Propane also runs our range, Lopi stove, and Garage heater. Generator powers all of house except dryer. It "exercises" (pushing no load) once a week. We have had several power outages over the past...

Lowes and Home Depot both carry Trench Drains and all the accessories. Heavy duty and work well.

If it is like most pressure switches, they are adjustable. Look at you owners manual and see if you can adjust it.

Welcome. We have the "snow management" thing in common. NE WA mountains give me plenty of oppurtunity for moving snow!! You will enjoy all the good info here. Lots of good people with good ideas/advise. Brian

If you are just driving over it a few times during construction and the line is a couple feet or more down, just lay a couple layers of plywood at opposite directions. Make the crossing plenty big enough for the truck plus about 4' on each side. The plywood will displace the ground pressure of...

Extra depth always seems to give you the best floor layout. I would guess that given no limitations, 30X36 or 30X40 are probably the most popular sizes of home garages/shops. You might call a couple of your local builders a pick their brain as to their ideas. Brian

Wirsbo is great, but like others have said, the tools can be very expensive. Wirsbo tools are a little more friendly in the tight places. The fittings are also more expensive than clamp ring fittings. Both work very well and can make you look like a pretty good plumber with just a little...

Welcome from NE WA. Lots of great ideas and people here at GJ.

Welcome traveler! Do you tow any sort of "garage"? If so, what's in it?

Welcome neighbor! Home for me is NE corner of WA. Let's see some before and after pictures of your projects!! Maybe this will get you and Dad kick-started. Good to have you on board. Bria

I have a Genarac 10K that runs on Propane. Auto transfer switch. Works great. We have several outages per year (mostly tree fall due to storms and snow) I have Propane heat, all other normal household systems. Power fails, 10 seconds later house has power again until power is restored...

Yes, General Garage Dicussion

OK, got you located now. We have been on the peninsula several times but we always hit it at Sequim. We live about 400 miles east of you on Hwy 20 Glad your here. Not too many WA people on GJ Brian

Welcome, Glad to have you in the group. Where is Kingston? Been in WA all my life and not sure I have ever been thru your town. I live out of Colville. Brian

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the great ideas. I have a good idea of what I want to do now. I need to move a couple lights and I'll be on my way. I'll post pictures when I get the divider completed.

Looking for some cool ideas for using a "curtain" as a divider in a 30X40X12 shop. My work area and benches are located at the closed end of the shop. During cold weather, (which we have 5 months of) I would like to only have to heat my work area. I do lots of small projects during the winter...

Welcome. Tons of info here on GJ. We all lean a lot from each other. Almost a neighbor. I live in out of Colville Wa
