There looks like a million different ways to skin this topic and I've even tried using the LoopCad software but I still know what is a best design or practice. I've got to come up with a design in the next week and could certainly use the talent that I've come to find on this site. I was going...

I found this YouTube site that provided some good instructional video for underground gas and electric installation service that I thought others might be able to use. Thanks

Good morning, My garage is built with standard 8x16 block and we were thinking of using 12x16 over the entrance way of each of the doorway. We were thinking the extra 4" would allow the front edge of the apron, once poured, to rest on. Does this make any sense or are we going to create a bigger...

Any recommendations for brand and Mil for vapor barrier under slab? I've looked at a bunch of different ones from the big box stores but just not sure what would work best. Thanks for any suggestions!

I have well with a submersible pump and I am wondering if I could tap into this to supply the garage system vs. tapping into my house's current system and go through the house foundation and trench to the garage. My well is iron rich and normally goes through a water softener system, but I am...

Okay guys I need some expert advice. I am doing radiant floor heat but I understand the FormulaR250 will not be strong enough to support a 5" to 6" pour with a two post 10K lift....not sure if true. If true I was planning on not routing the Pex tubing and 250 board in the area that will be...

Can you guys recommend a good brand for all my radiant heat manifold and supplies. I called one from ebay named The Pex Store that displayed a phone number for service and tech, but when I called they said they had no tech dept. Why am I surprised?:uzi:

I am putting radiant floor heat in a block foundation and I wondered if it is okay to fill the open cinder blocks with loose fiberglass insulation. Any thoughts?

Okay I don't have a motorhome or a tall truck commercial truck. Do I really need to go taller than 8' on the overhead doors? I am trying to keep the ceiling low to keep the heating bill down during the Winter season. :headscrat Your feedback is appreciated!!

Ok I think I am going with a pole building structure, but what about the concrete? Is the concrete more like to raise or have issues with a pole vs. a stepped top type block foundation where the concrete is supported by the block foundation?

Any suggestions for less expensive route to insulate for heated floors? Wow...this stuff is $33 a sheet. That's a sheet load of money ($2K) on a 32x60 garage.

I am located in Akron Ohio and I have been struggling to find a good builder for my garage. I have the block and concrete handled but finding a good builder has been a little tougher than I imagined at a reasonable price. I am looking to build a 32'x60'. Any reputable builders you guys could...

Okay I first want to ask that you excuse my ignorance because I am in uncharted territory when it comes to building a garage or pouring concrete. So, what if we dug the footer as wide and deep as needed and poured the footer and the floor at the sametime and then blocked it up a couple of...

Okay I don't that there is a good solution to my dilemma but I thought I would ask just the same. My plans for a garage are 200' off the road and probably 100' from my existing garage. My house is too close to the property line to add additional driveway around my attached garage so I thought...

There are so many choices of types and brands of floor epoxy, paint etc... I don't know where to begin. I am not overly concerned with price, but I don't want to do it twice or have something that won't hold up over time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

I've got a two car garage with insulation above the ceiling but everyone tells me to run a different type of heater as you can imagine it can be a little confusing for someone new to this topic. I have electric and can run natural gas but I don't know enough of the pros and cons about each type...

I live in Ohio and I am considering radiant heat for a new garage, but I can't seem to find anyone in the area that specializes in this product. I am looking at a garage 34'x40' and I have no idea what a system like this would cost. I am also considering going 6" on the concrete to support a...
