Hello, I have an older(from ~ 2000) Reznor FT45 Unit Heater in my garage. It recently threw a code for a pressure switch. I jumped the pressure switch and found it to be faulty. So, I know I need a new pressure switch to get me back up and running. My issue, the pressure switch I need...

Hey guys, just curious what can be done about excess moisture within a heated/insulted/sheet rocked garage? On my attached garage, which we use for our daily vehicles, we get a lot of moisture in the winter. I'm aware this is from the snow on our vehicles(or changed outside conditions), but...

So I'm installing my garage heater, a 50k Big Maxx because I just couldn't source a small boiler for my in floor heat. Last year I was running an electrical boiler, and the cost to heat my garage was absolutely ridiculous. So, for not I'm going to run this unit heater. Anyways, my gas is high...

Hello, I have a question regarding my options for natural gas hydronic heating for my garage. A little back story, I have a detached 26x28 garage that is currently heated by a electric hydronic boiler. It works great, except the amount of electricity it uses is ridiculous. I'm averaging...

Hello, I was wondering where in the world can you find 8' garage door openers. I can find 7' openers, then get the extension. But, I honestly would rather just get a straight 8' opener and not have to deal with an extension. It's more of a OCD thing, and not wanting to add the extension. :)...

Hello all, went into my garage this morning and notice the pump was running for my in floor heat, but the temp was pretty low, and also felt the pipe, which also felt cool. So, I figured there was a heating issue. At first I thought it might be a heating element, so I pulled out the volt...

Hello all, this is my first winter at my new place with a extra detached garage that has hydronic radiant heat. I've pretty much got the system all up to snuff over the past few weeks. It was low on water, air separator was bad, reaplaced a pretty antiquated thermostat, ect. So, something...

Good evening. My wife and I recently moved into a new place with a second garage. It has an in-floor radiant heat system in it. I've never had a system like this in my garage, just a regular gas style, which is what's in the main attached garage. Anyways, since it's getting to that time of...

So, I know this isn't exactly for my garage...but I figured you guys are all pretty smart people and might know what I need to do to get a regular thermostat on my gas fireplace in my basement. Right now, it just has a regular switch to turn it off and on, along with a variable rotary knob to...

Well, I went with what a lot of guys said on this forum, and got a Harbor Freight Earthquake 1/2" impact. I must say I'm very unimpressed with this thing. I have it hooked up to a 60 gal 3HP Puma with a Ingersoll Rand regulator and filter, set at 90psi. This is ran through a 3/8" flexzilla...

Hello all, I'm planning to replace the old ballasts and sockets in my garage with some newer t8s. I don't know yet if I need to replace the sockets yet or not. But, every once in a while I will have to jiggle the bulbs a bit to get them to turn on, I assume this is the socket? Because once I...

Hello, I have a 26x26 heated and fully finished garage that is heated by a 60K BTU Hot Dawg. I'm wondering if adding some extra insulation to the attic of the garage is actually beneficial. I live in MN, and it frequently gets below 0 for lows, and even below 0 for highs. I don't use the...

Hello, I recently purchased a new Puma 60g compressor. I'm looking to just buy a few tools to get my started. Like a impact, die grinder and ratchet. I'm not looking for something that's going to be mind blowing good. Just something that'll get me by for a while until I acquire some better...

Hello, I'm just checking in to ask you guys if this sub panel looks right to you all. I took the panel off the sub, and the doors are open in the main panel. This is in a attached garage, and ran with 2-2-2-4 AL wire, I was told that's good because I can upgrade up to 100amps if I wish to in...

Hello all, planning to install a sub panel in my attached garage. A couple quick questions. I purchased a Square D Main lug, 8 space 16 circuit. Does this main lug need a disconnect in the garage? I've read on some places you need one, some other forums, you don't. I live in MN, and again...
