    DIY/Hobbyist Digital Caliper Recommendations

    What are you guys using for digital calipers? These will be used infrequently, but I'd like to have something better than the HF ones I have now.

    Senville Initial Experience

    I thought I would pass on my initial thoughts and experience with a Senville 24K BTU 20.5 seer Aura mini split. The unit is oversize for what I have presently, but at some point I will be adding to my 21x22 garage. I ordered the unit from Amazon and they shipped within a week. It actually...

    Basic 50's 21x22 Garage Reno

    OK, this is just a normal 2 car garage reno, nothing fancy. A 30x30 shop build thread will come at a later date :) Anyway when my wife and I moved in to our home the previous owners had converted the 2 car garage in to a "studio". Several years later I finally got off my **** and, with the help...

    Hi guys, have any of you had experience with Ulrich Garage and Custom Barn Builders? I am thinking about having them build this model https://ulrichgarages.com/project/two-story-carriage-house/ as I simply do not have the time or skill to build my own.

    DFW TX Area Framers and/or Contractors

    I have an older home where the PO enclosed the attached 2 car garage. I'd like to get it back to a usable garage and go with a single 18x7 door. This looks pretty straight forward, demo the floor/sub-floor, support the ceiling, demo old garage door area, frame new entrance using appropriate...

    A few questions on converting 2 doors to one

    I am "re-converting" my two car garage into an actual garage. After getting most of the Sheetrock down and removing the insulation I see that the garage has two headers instead of one (drats). Basically the front of the garage needs to be re-framed correct? So it will need an appropriate...

    Which Floor

    I am "re-converting" our 20x20 2 car garage that the PO turned in to a studio until I have my dream garage built. I have been planning several items and now I have been reading about floors. At this point I do not know what condition the slab is in since I have not pulled up the existing sub...

    Sub Panel Questions

    I am meeting with an electrician in a week or so, but I wanted to have a good understanding of what I am asking for so I am hoping I can get you guy's input :) I have an attached two car garage that I'd like to add a sub panel to. The main 200A panel is full and I need a 50A 220V circuit for an...

    My Father In-Law passed away a while back and I finally got around to cleaning out his storage. I am wondering what you guys think of this stuff. Is it worth keeping?

    Inching closer to 30x30 build

    Had to put things on hold a bit from my introductory post while back. http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2006746#post2006746 But I am finally starting to move forward (hopefully) on my 30x30 build. I am hoping to get some good contractor/sub contractor recommendations for the...

    Another new guy, North TX area

    Hi all, like many, I have just found the site and forums and have been reading everything I can. I am in the very early stages of my garage plans and I have already learned quite a bit. My plans are to build a 30'x30' wood framed detached garage. We bought an "old" house (1954) which had the...
