I had the electrician add a 100A sub panel from the 400A service of the house. They pulled two 240v runs. One for a disconnect to use with my future mini split for the garage, and the other, an outlet in the back corner of the garage. Right now, it's got a blank plate over the end. Electrician...

Looking at Jackshaft Openers and I see several out there. For whatever reason, the sales guy quoted me on Liftmaster 8500w for $800 installed, but then his boss said Genie makes a good opener. Odd, I thought. Why the place quoted one, but suggests the other, they didn't say. But what are the...

I'm going to add a 36,000 BTU Mini Split for this garage to heat/cool the large room (not really concerned over the smaller one) and plan on placing the inside part of the mini-split just off center line, to the right rear of the garage. Right rear corner is where sitting/standing would happen...

I mentioned a mini-split to be added in the future and the electrician suggested a 240v 30A disconnect be placed outside the back wall of the garage. He felt that would be sufficient. I went to this site: https://www.hvachowto.com/how-to-install-mrcool-diy-ductless-mini-split-heat-pump/ Saw a...

When first discussed, I was just going to have a 220v dedicated circuit pulled for a mini split w/. a disconnect at a box mounted outside. That's pretty much still the plan, but then the electrician asked about bringing a 100A sub panel to the garage and then, when ready for the mini split, just...

What is the procedure for a floor color like this, and is it durable? I've heard the stories of floor coatings lifting under hot tires, so I am out on those (I think, unless something has changed) New concrete slab (soon), so want to get things lined-up for once it's poured and cured. By the...

Garage Journal, It's my turn to build, and I've been putting a lot of thought into what I want out of my next garage. We've been blessed to have a great garage, and it's served us well for decades, but we're out of space, and who wouldn't want more space? :dunno: As we contracted a builder for...

In planning stages to break ground as quickly as March, if permitting goes according to plans. Two big questions, each of a different nature: 1. Property is large enough for a 36' x 44' or 36' x 56' garage (56' is, from my understanding, the deepest I can go and be free from center posts...

Building a garage, I have a great view on the back side of the garage. Might be worthwhile to have windows to look at the view, IDK? I don't need a Ferris Bueller Garage, but might like to have a view... Right now, plans call for the three doors on the front, Four single windows on the...

Looking at the Longacre 52-52009 Anything better? Reviews seem mixed on accuracy. Current $15 one I have, is normally 2 psi low/off. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001D1WV7A/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I’ve heard a bunch of threads about garage slabs, there’s a bunch of information about concrete thickness and also fiber reinforced concrete and also the rebar and mesh. Trying to make heads and tails of it all. My present garage, the slab is about 26 x 34 wide, I seem to recall rebar, but I...

I've selected a house plan after buying a lot. Now just have to fine tune the plans. It's a one level home with a side load 2 car garage (per plans), and builder is willing to scab as an option, a front load garage, added to the "side" of the house. They have an option to add either a 3rd...

So today, finally got rid of the 3 original incandescent, replacing with 6 can lamps which are 6" dia. and have LED guts. I bought 6 can lamps (remodel-style) to put one in each side (2' off wall, but centered, front to back) and 2 down each middle row, each about 9' off front walls and 6' off...

On the attached garage, I am now on my 4th motor in <20 years. Had two chain drives, then a screw drive (which smoked/caught fire over the weekend). Replaced with Belt Drive Ryobi Easy to install, but unique in programming - which isn't a bad thing. But mostly impressed with HOW QUIET it...

So, First World Problems, I know, but I needed more space and had asked for ideas here, only to exhaust the room already. So adding more is the only option I think. Old thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331202 Anyways, I asked the county if I could exceed the 50%...

Moved a lift using Rick the Toolman out of Fredericksburg VA, but he said he'd go just about anywhere. https://rickthetoolman.com He was very reasonable on pricing Prompt service Had all the right equipment (rollback trailer, sneaker lift, etc) His price blew away compared to some others...

I am intrigued by the "Ring" doorbell and supplemental cameras. Anyone with experiences? Easy to install? Good pictures, night/day? :3gears:

https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tls/5634983925.html Saw this and compared to Backyard Buddy, just wondering if anyone bought one? TIA

So we have a 2 car attached and an oversized 3 car detached. I need more space... Option 1: Move, cause you 'll screw up the good looking layout you have... Option 2: Add the 14' x 40' (double deep) garage to the right side of detached. Option 3: Add a 20' x 40' (and still double-deep) garage...

So simple, yet effective. I added two of these about a year ago. It's made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the air within the garage. No more moisture, as the dew pint is now completely changed from the stale air before. No more moisture on cars, etc. Two of these, under $40 Cheap and easy...
