Hi all. I'm installing an older ceiling hung natural gas heater in my 2 stall detached garage. I have some questions I was hoping you all could help with. My heater is gravity vented, so I have to vent up. There is a second story above my garage, but my vent location will be near the eve where...

Hi all. So I'm looking at putting a natural gas radiant tube heater in my garage. I'm trying to decide on where to place. I'm in Pittsburgh, it's a 24'x24' detached, insulated garage. I'll try to describe the layout, since I don't have a program on this computer to sketch it out. I'm sure my...

It seems that most folks light their garage with fluorescent lights. My entire adult life, I feel like I've been fighting fluorescent lights. It seems like I always have a few bulbs that flicker, and a couple loudly humming ballasts. When I fix them, a few weeks later, I'll have a few more...

Hi all. I'm a fairly experienced DIY'er, but I'm not so well versed in HVAC. I have a 24x24 garage, 10' ceilings and a second story. I need to heat it. My plan was to buy a Hot Dawg, or similar ceiling mounted heater. However, I've been given a 100,000 btu natural gas forced air furnace. Problem...

I know this has probably been discussed over and over, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask again. I need a heater for my garage. 24x24 detached with 10' ceilings, and office space on the second floor. I'm in north western PA, so below freezing temps for almost half the year is common. Walls and...

I just hung an old Modine header from my ceiling. I can plumb the gas, no problem. But I've never wired one before, I could use some advice to make sure I get it right. I'll explain what I have, then maybe someone can guide me as to what gets connected to what. So on the back of the unit...

So I'm walking through Wally World the other day, and they're selling a kit that you plug into you iPhone, that you can plug into your car and pull codes. Has anyone tried it? How well does it work?

I don't really have a proper name for my garage, and compared to some of yours, it's just a hole. But I've been here for a while lurking and leeching knowledge, and I know how you guys like pictures, so I figured I'd contribute. I call it HQ because, it's the headquarters of my side business...

Since there's a heating and AC section, but not a plumbing section, I figured I'd post this here. So I'm in the midst of planning for a much needed garage bathroom. Space is tight in the intended area, so I got this crazy idea. I should seek out one of those stainless steel sink toilet combo...

I had always planned on buying a lift one day. Looking around this site, I see lots of 4 post lifts, and lots of 2 posts. Why is the 4 post so popular? It seems like you can remove wheels more easily and do more work. Plus the 2 post takes up less floor real estate. Is the benefit of the four...

Hi all. Great forum you have here. So I need to heat my 2 stall detached garage. I have an older Modine ceiling mounted NG heater I plan to hang from my 10' ceiling. My question is on venting it. It's not power vented, so I guess I can't vent it horizontally? The garage has a second story...
