Any idea if it is acceptable to run my black iron propane supply line this close to the exhaust of my forced air unit heater? I haven’t found anything saying I can’t, but was hoping to find confirmation.

I lost the blower motor on one of my motorhome furnaces so I figured as long as I’m in that deep, might as well replace the burner and ignitor, etc. Same valve though. Anyway, I replace everything and it had a faint scent of propane so I tore it appear, re-seal it and fire it up. Runs...

I have designed my shop to have a work area under my loft and it only has an 8' ceiling. I'll have cabinets down the long side, a work bench, lathe, mill, and welding table under it. Due to the low ceiling (and I like the look), I want to run can lights. Tentatively planning on 16x can lights...

I'm about ready to start wiring my new shop and was wondering if anybody had any advice on how I should group my breakers? e.g. what should and shouldn't be combined. This is vaguely logical to me, but not sure what is best practice. I also will likely go with 240v cadet heaters since I have...

In the not too distant future I'd like to pave my driveway but would like to make it a teardrop loop so I don't have to pay for so much asphalt, and also to keep the area from being so hot in the summer. Also would alleviate the temptation to rip donuts on my new asphalt. I'd like to put grass...

Long story long- I'm building a pole barn. I can build just about anything mechanically, but know ZERO about residential construction. Never exposed to it, not that I can't figure out a dozen ways that would be fine but it's almost certain I'm not doing something the common, easy, or right...

Hey! Now that my garage is pretty much functional, I figured I'd really throw a wrench in things and build a shop. Probably can't afford to complete it to the level I want right off the bat, but things aren't getting cheaper and I had to drive a stake in the ground and figured now is as good a...

Here is my garage progress so far. It’s never going to be “done”, but it’s to the point I don’t have to move too much stuff to do most projects. Garage is a 22x24 with a 14x20 third bay. Should have added more, and I wish it was a shop but wish in one hand… you know? Ceiling is JUST shy of 10...

I am installing, and permitting, a Reznor UDX-45 unit heater in my garage. It is hung and now I am tackling the venting. I am venting horizontally and need Class III stainless vent which I have two problems with. First, all my local HVAC supply houses only sell to contractors- not the...

Hey! I'm just about ready to have my garage insulated and drywalled and am here seeking advice on things I should add or may have overlooked in my garage planning while I can still get to everything. To complicate things, I'm also getting ready to pour a stamped concrete patio directly behind...

Hello! I am not going to sugar coat it. I am here to lurk in the background and check out peoples garages, sheds, shops, projects, and organization. I claim to be pretty OCD about things but some people here make me look like a dumpster fire! I'm in Bend, Oregon. Just built a house and am...
