Hey folks, I have hot and cold water to the garage, but it's on the most inaccessible wall (the spigots are legit in the walkway from man door into the house). I want to run some lines over to another wall where I can put a sink and hook up the pressure washer etc etc. The garage is...

Hey Folks I inherited with the house an old 120v sears MIG welder with gas line and regulator (no bottle, though). It's been since highschool shop that I've welded but i have a few projects that it would be handy to have working for coming up. Outside of the obvious of getting a bottle and...

Hey folks, I have this 1725 RPM 3/4 HP 115/208/230v single phase motor sitting around, thinking I should clean it up and put fresh cables on it and plan to use it, but it's pretty old and a bit crusty (though it runs seemingly great, very quiet currently wired for 115). Thoughts on if it's a...

Hello folks! I've pulled an external light off my garage to replace it and unhappily discovered that there is no box behind it. It's a wood plate, nailed over a hole in the brick, with a wire sticking through. I can take the wood plate off, leaving me with a smallish (1.5 inch?) hole in the...

If you have any experience with radiant ceilings I'd love to hear about it. We're seriously considering retrofitting the garage (and house..) with radiant ceilings (hydronic in this case).

PEX Crimper/Cincher Suggestion Hey all, helping my brother in law with some rework of plumbing (logical easy stuff thank goodness) and I'm finally in need of a PEX crimp tool. While I personally would prefer to do Pex A + Expansion in my house this house already has the more widely used fitting...

I've recently gotten the Reznor XL-75 unit heater that was previously in the garage in our new home hung back up, plumbed back in and fired up. I can get the pilot to light and hold but as soon as the system calls for heat it dies out. A little manual assist via propane torch and it lights up...

Hello Admins/Mods, if someone has a moment, could my thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=338223 Have the title be updated to be: 24x30 now 30x50 Slice of Heaven Thanks!

I'm looking at a variety of options to help with keeping the cold out and seems that with 4 single doors one of the best things I can do is build well insulated swinging doors that can seal much better than a traditional overhead door. I'm a little confused as everything I see swings out, which...

Hey guys, don't mean to abuse the hive mind with a non-garage question but I'm scratching my head on an issue that has recently arisen. We have a 14x80 trailer home on the lake. Before you ask, no, I can't put a damn house there, and no, I can't put a new trailer in: it's complicated but lets...

Hey folks, hope all is well, thanks for taking a moment to puruse my question. We are currently living in a very old house with radiant heat. It's great now that I've tweaked and tuned the radiators and gotten the system running well. We are however not looking forward to trying to get 4 or 5...

I'm ready to wire up my little heater for the garage and the person who wired it pulled the 10/3 romex through a double gang new work box and left it hang: IMG_20190926_172351 by Christopher Uthe, on Flickr I have the heater wired to the proper power whip but cannot find any sort of plate to...

Hey everyone, looking to get wired networking to the garage and can't/shouldn't/won't do copper as it's a seperate building so that leaves fiber. Since I do not want to terminate fiber, I have been looking at Media Converters + pre-made patch cable. The wavelength/ends/ratings are somewhat...

Hi Flooring gurus! I've got a garage (24x30) that is about to be heated (and cooled) but one thing I haven't figured out how to deal with is a slab that doesn't have the proper slope. Generally speaking water puddles in a few spots and runs to the walls in a couple others. Ideally I'd like to...

Hey all, thought I'd start a thread here mostly to motivate myself with public shaming. I joined this forum a few years ago, right about the time I thought I'd have more time/money to devote to doing what I wanted to the garage. (HA) Enter re-meeting my now wife, gutting and renovating the...

Hey all, long time member, new to posting! Been enjoying seeing all the progress on everyones garages and figured I'd finally get in and share mine as well. Since this is the intro part, hobbies include: Cars Saltwater Fish Keeping And spending time at our lake cabin We're also in...
