I just got my permit to do the electrical work on my garage project. This is an attached garage. My main panel is 200amp that I've shrunk over the years. I've removed 6 double breakers by switching to gas for my range/water heater and upgrading my hvac system (removed 4 that way) Question...

I had my doors installed today. I looked at the doors when I got home(they were installed while I was at work)... One of the doors has a gap on some side at the bottom. They mounted the track on that side an inch above the floor... Any ideas of what can be done to seal this up. I called...

30x30 garage....I've got 2, 9x8 garage doors. I've only got 2, 36" man doors...one to go into the house and one to the back yard. I'll be pulling copper from my main 200amp breaker from the house. (which is way underutilized) I'm going to have 2 garage door openers in the garage, a...

30x30 attached garage with 9.5 foot ceiling. I ran radiant floor heat, but won't typically heat/cool the space.....just ran pex for the heck of it. I insulated under the slab and will be insulating the 4inch walls with R13. The ceiling /floor joists are 16" Ijoists on 12" centers. There's...

I just had concrete poured in my garage and the floor is 3" higher than what I had planned due to drainage issues and grading. It's framed based on an 8' high door. I've got a good 2+ feet over the door opening for track, etc, so I'm not worried about needing a low-profile track, or running...

I just built a 900 sq ft garage. I'm about to have the floor of the garage poured. I have a 4" drain line in the floor that goes to a storm sewer and terminates in a sanitary tee and a 90 degree elbow that lands in the center of each garage bay. I live in Tennessee where we have a few...

Building a 30'x30' garage. I laid out the footers 2 weeks ago and got them poured. Monday and Tuesday, I laid the block. The building code here follows the 2006 IBC. I was told by a local builder that I can save a lot of time/money on concrete fill by using a solid cap block and nailing...

Has anyone seen a garage with a double AND single door in it? I am building a 30'x30' garage, ordering block today....so was trying to compute what I need to build this. I had the thought that it'd be cool to have a double and single garage door to make it a possible 3 car garage....or use the...

I'm about to lay block for my 30x30 attached garage. My house has a block foundation with 12" long decorative brick (like silo brick) on the top 2-3 courses. It's going to be tough to find around here, so I'm trying to decide how to proceed. I'm going to build a 2 foot stem wall above grade...

I poured footers on Friday and have a few days of rain ahead of me, so the footers will be good and cured by the time I can lay block. I have a question for those who know... I'm in NE Tennessee. My footing was inspected by the city here and passed. #4 rebar at 8 inches thick under the frost...

I'm about to build a 30x30 attached garage and figure now is the time to plan (if nothing else) for radiant heat. Even if I don't get a boiler system, I can lay the pex while pouring the slab and leave it there until I'm ready. I live in NE Tennessee. We typically deal with a few weeks of sub...
