I am getting ready to run my coax, network, and speaker wires in my 24x60 attached garage and I would like to hear some opinions on how to run them. I will be running the speaker wire to all 4 corners of the garage so I can have a speaker in every corner, and it will run back to an area where I...

My garage has been up for a couple years now, and I am finally almost ready to start insulating and sheetrocking the ceiling. I was running some electrical today, and I noticed that the trusses are sagging a little. I ran a string line across a few of them, and they are sagging between 3/8" and...

I need to figure out pretty soon what I am going to do for a strong pull down set of stairs to my garage attic. The ceiling height is a little over 12' and the width between the framing is 30". I am not opposed to making my own, but the issue with that is they would need to fold at least once...

I'm trying to decide if I should put this up in the attic of my garage to help keep it a little cooler in the summer. The stuff I am talking about has a foil type backing and staples up to the bottom of the rafters. Atticfoil is one of the makers, but there are many others just like it. Is it...

Who makes the best sheetrock lifts? I see tons of different brands advertised on Craigslist, but I don't know which of them are good, and which are Harbor Freight quality. I want to purchase one that will do 12' + ceilings, and I really want to buy a top quality unit. What do the professional...

I am finally ready to order a 4-post lift, and I would really like to purchase a US made lift. Unfortunately, there are very very few companys that still manufacture lifts here. I am aware of Backyard Buddy, but does anyone here have a Gemini lift? They claim to be 100% American made out of...

I have a 2/0 SER aluminum feed cable going to the sub panel in my garage. Is there anything in the electrical code about what size connector it has to go through entering the panels? It will fit through a 1 1/2", I just want to make sure that I don't need a larger size to meet code. Thanks.

I am finally starting the electrical in my garage. I have a 40 space sub panel that will be mounted in a 2x4 wall. I would like to run as much of the wiring as I can out the bottom of the panel so the top stays open for easier access in the future if a circuit needs to be added. My plan is to...

In my quest to use as many American made products as I can in building my garage I am now to the electrical outlets. Thanks to you guys I found that Hubbell makes American made GFCI tamper resistant outlets and I have those on order, but I also need regular duplex tamper resistant outlets. It...

I am getting ready to wire my garage, and I would like to know what the code is about drilling holes in 2x4 studs for electrical wires. I am recessing the panel into the wall, and I would like to feed most of the wiring in from the bottom, so in the future if I ever need to add a circuit, the...

I have been to the big box stores, and the local electrical supply house, but all of the 20 amp tamper proof GFCI outlets they offer are made in China. I would really like to find US made if they are out there. Any ideas? Also, I need a 200 amp main panel, are there any US manufacturers of those...

I have been looking for one of these for awhile, and I finally got one. They must be rare, because I have been looking for over a year, and this is only the 2nd one I have seen.

I have a 48" commercial walk behind mower with a 15 horsepower Kawasaki engine on it. It has a electric clutch that engages the blades. The problem is if the battery is run down the blades won't engage. The engine always starts with the 1st or 2nd pull, so I don't need the electric start to...

I am starting to plan the insulating of my new garage and I was thinking about making my own soffit baffles out of either plywood, frp, or 1" thick foil backed foam board. I would put nailers up so there would be at least 1 1/2" between the bottom of the roof sheathing and the baffle. I don't...
