Back again with a wiring question for my garage. I am getting ready to start insulating/drywalling the garage, but had some last minute electrical additions I wanted to look into prior to doing that while I have the studs open. Specifically I had the thought that adding electrical service for a...

All - Had a wonderful epoxy floor put in my garage a few months back and have been loving every bit of it. Super durable and easy to clean up. That said I have run into a bit of a problem that I was hoping to get some answers on. The long and short of it is this: I've had my "fun" car parked...

Now that I am pretty far along with my Garage Remodel, I wanted to address insulation... or at least the lack thereof. It's a 440sqft detached garage that has never been insulated. This makes it a glorified shed in the winter with next to no thermal barrier to keep things bearable indoors. The...

I've recently installed a new 60A subpanel into my detached garage and I am starting to look at closing the walls up to finish the project off. But as most things go for me, I start looking at "what else can I do while I have the walls open" and I had the thought of adding an electrical drop...

Wasn't exactly sure how to title this thread so bear with me as I try to explain this. Looking for input and suggestions on how I can add some kind of weatherstripping to the joints between the garage door panels to prevent water from collecting between the panels. My garage door is a standard...

I've got a 450sqft garage I am in the middle of renovating and one of the items I've been thinking about trying to tackle is air handling, specifically ventilation. The garage doesn't have any windows, ridge vents (that I can see), or gable vents. There's very little air movement or exchanging...

I am in the middle of renovating my garage and one of the items I'd like to address is replacing the old, noisy, chain-driven overhead opener with a jackshaft opener. Not only is this to replace an old opener, but I would like to gain the ceiling space since I only have 7.5' of clearance floor...

**mods delete, I meant to post this in the garage discussion forum**

(Crosspost from a comment made in my garage thread) Been playing around with lighting layouts over on visual-3d.com to get a sense of how many fixtures I should order. Based on wanting around 100FC @ a 3ft workplane, it's been telling me I need 12-13 fixtures but the layout it wants to use...

(This is in the US, specifically Ohio) In short, I have about a 40' run that I need to install to feed a new subpanel in my garage from my main breaker box from a 60A dual-pole breaker. Unfortunately the garage is detached and there will be about a 5ft section of that run that will be inside...

Hey there! The name is Tony and by day I am an IT Systems Admin, by night a huge car nut who loves his Audis more than he rightfully should. Been a long time lurker of this wonderful corner of the internet and have waited for the day I could finally post my own space here. Bought my first home...

Bought my first house earlier this year and have been engrossed with all that comes with getting everything sorted out and moved in. Finally things have settled enough that I can start to focus on my garage after way too long, but have concerns about the garage floor and whether it's too late in...

Long time lurker here... Finally bought my first home and one of the higher priority items was to laying down a good epoxy on the garage floor. I like to detail cars as a hobby, while also working on my own cars, so having a clean floor is something I'd really like to have for myself. I am going...

Working on finishing up the design for a new garage me and my dad are planning on building (hopefully), but running into an issue with the garage doors. Per the design i've included below, we're including a loft in the garage, but to avoid having to add a bunch of extra construction we're not...

Longtime lurker... read many builds and have been inspired by all the different builds I've seen. From the basic, cheap ones to the expensive, no bars held ones. All have been fantastic and a reflection of their owners... and hopefully I can build something for myself! I've finally graduated...
