Smallest gas furnace available with fresh air intake. Anyone have a Dettson 15k btu? Does anyone have experience with a 15k btu or similar size gas furnace? The most common garage furnaces are 40k-50k btu and way oversized for a typical well insulated 400-800 sqft. garage/workshop. My...

I'm looking for a ceiling mount shop fan with as low of speed possible just to keep stagnant air moving. I can't stand the breeze of a fan on me while I work or papers flying around so the slower the better. I haven't had much luck finding what I'm looking for on Google or Amazon and was hoping...

I'm looking for a garage radio preferably bluetooth compatible to allow streaming from my phone but also needs excellent fm reception. I've noticed over the years car radios tend to have drastically better reception than even hooking up a home stereo receiver to a rooftop antenna. with that in...

I poured a new garage slab recently. info on "Wet garage raise" thread and sealed with 4 heavy coats of Eucosil densifier, sealer, dustproofer. It all soaked in but took forever. I recently tipped over my bottle of oil for air nailers and wiped it up as quick as I noticed it but there was a wet...

I will be using my garage for a little bit of everything just like most people but what really bugs me is when I go to change oil in something the funnel and oil jugs always have dust on them. I wipe them off best I can before use but I would really like a better permanent solution to store just...

I will be doing about 40-50 yards of concrete work between garage and driveway in the next few years as well as a bunch of retaining wall and other minor things I could definitely use a plate compactor. I've looked at quite a few used name brand listings in the $700+ but most look rough, rode...

With my current garage project I figured it was a good time to add a garage door on the side wall. I live on a corner and would like to eventually put a driveway from street across my backyard to it. Until now I've only used 16ft wide garage doors and parking my truck in the standard 9ft wide...

I can't beleive this doesn't exist or I can't find it anyways. It sure would be handy to have a regular old plumb bob hanging from a hook on a string but without the need to change the string length when moving the marking point higher or lower because the dot would be on whatever is under the...

I have a few threads posted here and there on specific topics but will document and post pics here of the process and challenges along the way. Next week I will be attempting to raise my 26x26 garage 3ft up then form up and pour a 9 inch wide wall 24 inches high then set garage back down. It...

I will be pouring a garage slab in a few weeks. The footings are L shaped 11 inches wide at the bottom and 4 inches wide at the top so that when the slab is poured it will go all the way up to the walls and not look gofy having an expansion joint 7 inches inside the walls. The reason I am not...

I'm looking to install a recessed in floor lift in my garage with 9ft ceiling. 99% of the time it will be used to rotate tires, do brakes, oil changes etc. I would also like to be able to use it to work on atvs and lawnmowers just so I don't have to lay on the ground to do so. I love the looks...
