    Radiant Tube Heater Losing Efficiency

    The last few winters I'd been starting to suspect that my radiant tube heater has not been working as efficiently as in years past. It is a Superior Radiant Products GR45 (https://www.superiorradiant.com/products/residential-garage-heaters/series-gr) that was installed roughly 10 years ago. I...

    Quincy QT-54 vs QT-5

    I'll make this short and quick. Grenaded my old 60 gallon Iron Horse and am buying a new compressor today. Decided to pony up and buy the best available to me. Leaning towards the QT-5 due to less moving parts and slower running speed. Either one will outperform what I had, so volume and output...

    Gave up on the permit/inspection process today.

    I finally had enough today and decided the finishing work on my garage is going ahead without a permit or the "mandatory" inspections. I tried to be a responsible homeowner and adhere to the city's permit and inspection process. Right from the get go it was nothing but a PITA and costed me a...

    Slow Progress

    I wasn't going to bother posting anything quite yet as I don't have a whole lot done and the work is on hold until I get back home when I get off work. But then I reconsidered and decided that it would be just as easy to start the topic now and update as I have time. Anyways, here are some...

    Rough Concrete Pricing?

    I have found myself in a bit of a situation here where I am really having trouble finding somebody to do a pad for my garage. I've talked to 3 different contractors, 2 said straight up that there is no way they would be able to get it done any time soon. The third was supposed to come back with...

    Deconstruction Advice Needed (With Pictures)

    I have finally stopped procrastinating and decided that this is the year I pursue what I have wanted in the worst way for about 10 years now. The stars have aligned, so to speak, and between being forced to used my accumulated holidays, the Canadian government offering the home renovation tax...

    Ooops, I forgot to introduce myself

    Usually introducing myself is priority #1 when I join a forum, but I think this time around I was too awestruck to remember. I came across the link while browsing on a 67-72 GM truck website. And all I can say right now is I F'IN HATE THIS FORUM:shocking:. No, not really, but all the pictures...

    What Did You Replace?

    I've seen a ton of beautiful garages here so far. Many of them are far beyond what I will ever build. I am probably at least year or so away from being able to build a new garage. Since I don't have a fancy garage to post pictures, I figured starting a thread that is a little out of the norm...
