Hi all, My garage was finally built back in April. They originally poured the foundation and floor back in December so it sat uncovered for a couple of months during the winter. I'm a little concerned about the floor because it is very splotchy and has hairline spider webbing over a lot of...

I had a leaky outdoor Woodford faucet and just bought and installed a valve repair kit for it. After installing the repair kit the valve will only turn open a quarter turn even though it used to turn at least a full turn. Any idea what could be going on here? The water pressure is decent...

Putting new electric in my garage and I’ve got a couple of spots where I am going to put dedicated 110 outlets for a fridge and air compressor. As these would be dedicated 20A outlets, I started thinking that if I run them with 10ga, wire instead of 12ga and put them in a quad box, I could...

Hi all, It's been a long process but my new garage is finally up (about a year after signing the contract)! I had it built with storage trusses and have flooring in the attic covering a space roughly 12'x25' (garage interior is 25x25) that will be used for storage. The joists are 22 1/2" OC...

For those of you that have mini splits how loud is the outdoor unit? I can find db ratings for the indoor portion but not the outdoor condenser. I'd like to install one in the new garage I am having built and I'm debating between installing it on the back wall or side wall of my garage. If...

Has anyone used LP Flameblock OSB for their garage walls and/or ceiling? Considering it is only about $10 a sheet more than regular OSB at the moment it seems like a decent option considering the added fire protection and I'll only need about 45 sheets. I'm having difficulty finding a closeup...

Hi all, When the concrete guys were pouring my foundation and garage floor it looks like they must have been cleaning out something and splashed concrete slush over the stem wall and onto the new floor. It looks pretty bad. It makes it look like paint got splattered on the floor. I've got...

For those of you who have put up metal ceilings what size panel did you use? I’m building a 26’x26’ garage with 24”oc storage trusses. Would you do 26’ panels, 13’6” panels or 9’3” panels? I’m leaning towards the 9’3” panels as they seem like they’d be a little easier to deal with especially...

Hi guys, I'm starting the build of my 26x26 detached garage. I've got a separate 100amp service being run to it. Currently the foundation has been laid but they probably won't start on the building and electrical for a couple of months. I plan to use it for both a workshop and for...

Hi all, What size Mr Cool do you think I would need for a 26x26 garage with 9'8" ceilings? I'll have 2 windows that face north and an 18'x8' garage door that faces west. 2 sides brick and 2 sides siding. I'm in St. Louis so it gets relatively cold in the winter and very hot and humid in the...

Hi all. Was wanting to get your thoughts on my potential garage plans. When we were looking for houses 7 years ago the number one item on my list was at least a 3 car garage. We ended up finding a house and neighborhood we love but it only had a 2 car garage. Since then I've been trying to...

My wife bought me an IR Garage Mate air compressor for Christmas. It's a nice compressor that is 2HP and puts out 5.2 CFM and is portable and quite. When I started it up it ended up having a pin hole in one of the welds on the tank. Ingersoll-Rand's customer service is great and when I called...
