    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Roys Garage of Junk

    I was reluctant to spend the money, but this is going to be our forever house (or at least until I can retire and move out of the state). Made some more progress over the weekend. Got 4 lockers and a 60" upper up. I went to put the bench together....and all the fasteners were the wrong thread...

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Roys Garage of Junk

    We recently moved to a house with a 3 car garage. It had cabinets already but I quickly found that the system was not a very efficient use of space. They were basically 24" deep lockers. After a little over a year of never being able to find anything I decided to make the investment with Newage...

    Garage cabinet help please.

    That's a really good idea. Unfortunately there are cabinets and a coat closet on the opposite wall. The garage also overhangs the house by about 8 feet as well.

    Garage cabinet help please.

    If I had the space, deeper would be nice. At 21' deep, I don't. Looking at the Pros again, looks like the cabinets are 36" wide (not 30). That's an extra 3" of door length I need to clear as well. Right now my current 30" wide cabinets, I can't open the doors with the cars in. My M550i is...

    Garage cabinet help please.

    Leaning towards this setup in Bold. Dismantling sets and getting add-ons brings the entire cost to $6,500 with tax and some extras- Lights, extra shelves, ceiling shelf. Cabinets alone are approx $5800. I like the Pros, but the cost would have been well over $11K for the same setup. For...

    Garage cabinet help please.

    Looking for some input on layout. 3 car garage, but it is very shallow, approx 21' deep. Looking for suggestions on New Age Pro vs Bold cabinets. I like that the Bold are only 18" vs 24. Currently the house has basic 24" cabinets and they are very deep (uppers and lockers both). I was...

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    Unfortunately it looks like my Electric Company purged all previous records once I closed the account on the old house. I checked my office records and the Electric is pretty consistent month over month. Looks like it dropped a little about 6 months ago. NG company purged records too. NG for...

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    So I plugged my costs into the spreadsheet above. I am an electrician by trade, so any install that is Electrical only is vastly easier to install for me. Plus, I have electric in the garage already. 30BTU (cold climate) x 800 sq feet= 24K BTU needed based on a calculator I found online...

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    Update: So I was playing around in the garage last night. Raised temp to 55 degrees. It got there quickly and didn't cycle much for the little I was out there. I think my wifi sensor is not an accurate way of checking how often the heater goes on. It only ran for a minute or two each time it...

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    It appears to be 1 fixed rate. My office has a peak demand rate and off peak demand rate. I am almost positive my last house did too. I'll have to look into this. That's what my buddy has. The Williams. They make a 30K & 40K I was looking at.

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    I didn't calculate anything based on the oil filled heater. My calculations are for the 7500W garage heater. Now I have an idea of run time when 29 degrees, I can figure out the costs a little better. That heater is either on or off. I just checked and it's running approx 8-10 mins when it's...

    My mouse poison is gone!

    We moved into our house with an infestation of mice shortly after we moved in. I always used snap traps in the past, but that wasn't doing much. I put my battery Arlo cameras around and would watch what they would do. One would get snapped and the other one would see it before I could clean it...

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    Update: It was 29 degrees avg. last night. Based on the my sensor, it appears the heat ran for approx 10-15 mins. every hour. Thermostat set at 45 degrees. Based on that math, last night it cost me approx $.25/hr to run, or $6/day if the temp stays 29 for 24 hours. $180/mo. It's supposed...

    Gas vs Electric Heat for Attached Garage.

    Looking for some suggestions on which type of heat to use. This is a 3 car attached garage. Chicagoland. Last couple of weeks it has been below freezing with extended periods below 0F. Down to -14F a couple nights. My garage was sitting at 24 degrees with a 1500W oil filled heater running...

    Morton vs Cleary vs other? Cost of building in Chicagoland

    FBI got back to me. Their price is the most reasonable out of the 3 so far. Morton is 30% higher than them. Still over my budget by a little.

    In Chicagoland, you aren't going to get any labor for $15/hr. unless it's McDonalds.

    Morton vs Cleary vs other? Cost of building in Chicagoland

    My friends is not that tall. I have a camper that is 13'6 tall so I need 16' interior. I have not gotten a quote from FBI. I sent them a request and they called me back in 5 minutes. They are going to send me a quote. Yes, Morton is the gold standard. They sent me their whole spiel why...

    Morton vs Cleary vs other? Cost of building in Chicagoland

    Looking for some input from the experts. So far I have gotten quotes from both Morton and Cleary. Both quotes have blown my mind. I am in Chicagoland and looking for quotes on just a cold storage building with ceiling liner. So far below is what I have. Morton: 42x72x16'4" = 3024 sq ft 3...
