I'm working on the electrical in my garage. There is a 15AMP 3 way switch on a 15AMP breaker by my garage entry door and the back door in my house, put there from the previous owner. On the end side of the 3 way switch going from the switch, underground to the back door of the house is 12...

Can you put CSST in a wall through wood studs? As long as you have nail plates.

Here is a completed look at the top of things. 6 mil plastic and adding three outdoor sconce lights on either end of the garage doors in front and one by the walk in door on the side.

Here are some current pictures: In this picture you can't really tell, but I added 8 more 24' ceiling joists to the existing 8 that were all ready in. Along with vertical ties. Here is the gas line going to the garage. I used CSST to run through the studs with nail plates. It is...

Unfortunately I'm not building a new garage, but adding to it. This is a 24x34 3-1/2 garage with a hip roof, 50-AMP sub panel and gas line. The plan is to add more vertical ties, collar ties, 8 more ceiling joists with an attic ladder. Add insulation and blow in insulation up top. OSB...

I'm a little lost, I'm trying to install a new Lutron light/fan dimmer for single pole. I know where the Light and Fan wires get connected, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out witch is the hot and switch wire from the ceiling. My ceiling has two black wires and two white wires...

Ok great, thanks again. Yea my old Liftmaster openers is from 1993 and uses 540 watts to run each. These are a big improvement for sure.

Ok thank you!

I just bought two of these. Anyone know the watts of the motors when they are running? I want to plug them on my 15 AMP "Lights Breaker" for nine T8 shop lights and a four LED outside lights.

Love the garage and firebird! I didn't see it in the pictures, but do you have stairs going up to the loft from the inside? Thanks, Josh

I just read your whole thread, even tho you have a 20x20 you make it feel feel much bigger. Thank you for sharing your idea's and garage. Very cool my friend! :)

Very nice job! Great looking Ford garage for sure.

How tall is your ceiling? Can you measure the highest point with the mustang on the lift, next time you have it in the air and let me know please? Thanks!

It will go where the green car is on post #3. My garage ceiling height is 8'6", so with a Maxjack or even a scissor lift I'd need at least 10' height to clear my Ford Thunderbird and Ford Edge. What if I ran two 2x6's to both ends?

You have a 8' ceiling? The maxjack will not clear that, you might want to look into making clearance up top, I'm in the same boat with a 8'6" ceiling. I'm begging the wife for a max jack.

The reason I ask is I'd like to get a maxjack in the future. But the problem is I have a 8'6" ceiling. I'm hoping to do a tray ceiling of some sorts for the extra clearance. If I made two cross supports on either end from this picture would that work ok you think?

I have a hip roof on my 3.5 garage. I have a 34' long pieced together Cross support 2x4's spanning the width of the garage resting on the ceiling joists. What is the point of this guy and is it part of the structural strength of the roof?

Going to overhaul my 3.5 garage this spring and I've been planing out how it's going to look. Mostly electrical, insulation and drywall with lots of storage is where most of the money is going to be spent. I'm begging the wife for a MaxJack though, wish me luck, lol. Here are a few drawings...

Just picked up this Ford neon today for a steal. Going to look great in the garage.

Nice job with the drywall and lights, very cool!
