I have a Bendpak XPR-10AS which has been installed about 9 years. My electrician wired the lift with the electrical cable running inside the post. He used the metal tags that are on the inside of the post in the center. Tonight I had sparks coming from inside the post when lowering the lift...

I use a gas leaf blower to clean my garage occasionally. I open all doors back and front of the garage and it takes multiple "sweeps" to get all the dust out. My floor is pretty clean though, I use irobot dirtgogs, it is mainly to blow the dust, grindings etc, off the cars, cabinets, etc. I use...

I think I have done my numbers as best I could, I have looked at the options for ~4 years. With the state rebate, Federal and state tax reliefs, SREC's and solar production so far that exceeds the predicted outputs from a couple my quotes, I should be ok. Our town also negotiated a group price...

I had quite a few solar companies quote me. Some wanted to put panels on roofs that were not optimal, shading, wrong angles etc, which might make sense if leasing but not if purchasing. In the end I covered my main house with panels and that would give me ~60% of my present electrical...

Might be a local or state requirement that boxes are mounted outside. I had one quote with central inverters and they insisted they needed to mount multiple boxes outside so they could be shut down safely if required. I cancelled that company, just have the one disconnect box outside with my...

I used the same "wireless" unit for hearing the front door bell in the garage. Works well.

I have installed 2 of the Fantech units. One in a commercial building which uses the dryer at least once a day. No problem with either units.

My floor was poured with no vapor barrier or rebar. Just mesh and saw cuts. No cracks other than in the cuts. No moisture or damp problems. Epoxy and 2 post lift with no problems. Each to their own on how they have their floor poured.

I think you need to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the heater on whether the vent slopes upwards or downwards, not the pipe manufacturer. My Sterling heater said for a horizontal vent, to slope it downwards. If your instructions say downwards then maybe you will have to...

Is this garage attached to your house? Is that wooden door leading to the house? What is the condition of the roof shingles, how old? If your roof / sheeting is good then use spray foam on the underneath of the roof. It will save you having to install roof vents. The foam will need to be...

I bought one of those HF units and spent more time fitting it than it was worth. The pvc does not work, the T fitting was porous and leaked and the valve failed after ~ 6 months. I bought another one to get my compressor working and that one also started to leak. I replaced it with an electric...

I have this one on the wall next to the door in the garage. http://www.amazon.com/Kidde-KN-COPP-B-LPM-Battery-Operated-Monoxide-Digital/dp/B004Y6V5CI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top It is a bit of a pain to reset the max level but works well. Even reversing modern cars comes up with a reading even...

I have a pellet silo which holds ~3.2tons and the pellets are delivered in bulk. The truck holds 16 tons and the pellets are pumped in with compressed air. $218 a ton of New England pellets which burn quite nice, they were $215 last year. I paid $85 for delivery as I am a bit of a distance from...

"Not sure what you mean by "Stops" If you mean the safety lock positions, it is well below those positions." I wondered if you had "final" rest stops on your lift that the ramps rested on. Does not matter as the lift seems to go down low without the casters quite nicely. This guy had to stand...

If you measure how far the ramps are from the ground with the casters off at each corner, then do the same with the casters installed. What are these measurements? If you stand on the lift at each corner does it make any difference to the distance you measured? Are there stops that the lift...

http://www.hearth.com/talk/wiki/stoves-in-residential-garages/ If your insurance company / inspector is ok with it thats great. This is mainly for attached residential garages, your town may be different.

I am not sure about shop use but in most states, pellet boiler or stoves are not permitted in garages.

Not sure about Canada but check your local code. A garage is typically not an approved location for a pellet stove. For a garage a wall hung heater is a much better solution for gotbusa1338. You don't loose valuable floor space & clearance in front of it and no need to store pellets and clean...

You could spend your money more effectively in other areas.

Some heaters have a note about use in low temps, this in one I found in the installation instructions of a Modine heater. "Units exposed to inlet air temperatures of 40°F or less, may experience condensation, therefore, provisions should be made for disposal of condensate." I presume if you have...
