Love the motorcycle adapter ideas you guys have shown! Definitely something I'm going to make I did some small mods to my Mohawk. I couldn't stand the small tactile button it had to operate the lift. It was hard to press and hurt after holding my thumb there too long. It was also hard to find a...

Got the VW's in position. Next step is to bring in the winter project Syclone.

Heating system is done! I'm ready for winter.

I had the same dilemma when I was doing my ceiling...I ended up going with polar white. I picked white because it would reflect more light and wasn't much more $ than going with galvalume. As others have said, cell reception is impacted. Also my WIFI signal, which is the real bummer. It was...

Have you seen this thread? https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49557 Lots of useful tips and pictures to rummage through. I went with a gas mod/con boiler so I couldn't help you on the electric boiler, but plenty of guys on that thread have gone that route and used the P/S loop...

Let me know what you end up choosing for a thermostat, papp101. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to use...I hear conflicting info on whether to use the slab sensor or not. Or that the PWM type stats make the system short cycle. Some people say the simplest thermostat is the best for...

I believe it's for efficiency also. Cold air is much better than warm air for combustion.

I'm definitely no expert, but a few things I can recommend and give as input, since I'm doing my boiler install now...but I have a 4 loop system. I went with a Navian NHB55. That boiler seems oversized. And like fitter30 said, why the NCB model? Do you need the DHW option? I do know that the...

Finally got some funds for my boiler install! Still a work in progress, but its getting there.

That's a good point on the built in zone control...I'll have to look. It's a Navian NHB55 The manifold I bought as a package for these types of boilers and it's pre-assembled with the correct spacing, sizing, etc. I'm certain the boiler has an outdoor reset also. It came with an outdoor sensor...

Yes, single boiler only dedicated to running the garage. I have a 4 loop radiant system installed, and it will be the only zone. Each loop is approx 270' long, about 1200 sq/ft. I'm only going on what the manufacturer suggested for their type of boiler. The plumbing supply outfit I bought the...

Question for any of the experts here on a P/S loop system. I'm getting prepared to start my boiler install for my garage and it's been suggested that I do a P/S loop system for this particular boiler. Are the primary and secondary circulators hooked to the same zone? And do they run at the...

I used this for my garage slab. They keep it neat and compact. I only needed a 4 loop, so 8 total lines. I just cut off what I didn't need... https://www.supplyhouse.com/EZ-Route-PEX-Routing-11203000

Thanks! It was originally from your neck of the woods too.

What a difference a year makes!

Not bashing your install, but did anyone from Challenger tell you it was ok to install the lift columns that close to a saw cuts? Or did you just do that on your own? Curious because I'm about to install my Mohawk and I'd be in a similar situation...I hear vastly different opinions. Greg Smith...

I plan on doing EMT throughout my garage. I know the general layout of where I want my outlets, but I've run into a dilemma when I thought about how I wanted to run the tubing. My problem is, I have windows on the sidewalls and the bottom of them are about 40" from the floor. In my mind I...

I bought one of those cheap sheetrock lifts on eBay this past winter. It's definitely cheap, but it does the job. I've done the entire ceiling myself. Just finished the last panel earlier this morning...but I had to take a break. The NE is getting hit with crazy heat these past few days. So...

That's all my town requested to build my pole barn...just stamped drawings for the trusses. Oddly enough, that's exactly the same question my wife asked me when I was going to build mine. Lol...as soon as the framing was up, she quickly realized it was not going to be a small "shed"

Thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words. bcoke, I know exactly where you are. I go camping around that area and do trout fishing around the Metawee river and small streams nearby. Nice little area!
