I want to pose my plans of mounting an exposed mini split with ducted vents. This would be like a "loft style" install. My shop is 28x46 so just under 1300sqft. The ceilings are 12ft that slope to 14ft on the front. R38 ceiling and R23 rockwool on the walls. Currently the space is not...

Picked up a new project a few months back, a 16" Walker Turner Metal Band Saw. Im missing the rear section and would like to find one to complete the base. The front and rear sections are identical so either one will work. Ive looked into have a new one cast but economically it not viable...

So I use a premium painters tape to lay out equipment in my shop to get spacing etc. A year later I have my lift installed and I am pulling up the tape at its left and outline from where it was. I used 1inch and 2 inch tape. The 2 inch lifts off no issue. The 1 inch is another story. It’s not...

Anyone have an SPOA-10 lift in the Annapolis, Md? I would like to take a look at one prior to ordering and talk about any grieves/beefs you have since owning. I keep going back and forth with arm options. Drawings available online and dealer networks have been far from helpful in the decision...

So I am currently plugging away at the mind numbing and thankless task of insulating the ceiling in the shop. The joist are 12" OC. There are 43 total joist bays. No one makes 12" batts so I am cutting 24" R30 batts in half. Its actually working well. Perfect fit. It leaves me with about...

I know this has been beat to death over the years, but I havent found anything in respect to my question. Foreword: I have kept my wire runs for 12/2 and 14/2 to max 3 cables a hole. All the holes are 7/8 or 1 inch for the ones requiring 3 wires of 14/2. I have a couple single 6/2 runs that...

So Ive been looking at rockwool insulation for the garage this past last week. Seems there are only 2 players are in the game, Rockwool Comfort Batt and Owens Corning Thermafiber. Both seem to be the same rock wool product. Rockwool seems to be available in bulk and individual bags but OC is...

I was reading through my manual today regarding feeder wire size. Before I start pulling the wire I wanted to confirm my thoughts with some of the forum electricians. Background info ... My receptacles are all under 100ft from the panel. This is the biggest welder in the lot so the others...

Stud Bored Hole Proximity ... How close? Never really thought much about this until Im drilling holes in studs. I am drilling 7/8 - 1" holes for rough wiring in 2x6 studs. I am running (3) 12/2 home runs for outlets and (3) 14/2 home runs for lights on 2 joining walls. Im trying to keep most...

Quick question in regards to conduit elbows. I have run my 2" conduit run from my house to the garage. I am using 1/0 Xhhw wire for the garage feeder so it needs to be in conduit for the walls. When transitioning to the house and garage walls from outside I need to make a tight 90 in order to...

I have a 28x46 shop that had the ground wire for the electrical panel bonded to the foundation rebar and rod prior to pouring remainder of the stem wall foundation. Since then I have decided to move the location for the proposed panel to another location within 15 feet of the original stud bay...

I have a few shrinkage cracks that formed soon after my slab was finished. The slab is 28x46 and these cracks have not gotten any larger over the last year or so. I would like to fill them prior to sealing/coating the concrete. It will either be a penetrating sealer or clear polyurea product...

Ive been looking into concrete polishing lately. I have a 4500 PSI 1300 SQFT slab that was power troweled to a burned finish. I have been debating on doing a 3 part polish on the slab, or a cream layer polish. I dont need or want to see the aggregate. Debating on a acid stain, then polishing...

So we had a pretty good thunder storm a few days ago which blew water up and over the walls of my garage through the clearstory windows. The whole floor got wet similar to dusting it with a hose, no standing water. I am getting ready to install the poly carb windows this week. I had just...
