Hi all - many years ago, built what I (foolishly) assumed would be the be-all, end-all garage of my dreams. Three car with an angle to the house, approx 1000sf. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110219 Well, you know how that goes, never enough space. I'd like to put a...

Hi all - I have 15 light fixtures, .74a each, which is within the limits of a 15a circuit. Presently, there are four banks of lights, 6, 4, 3, 2. However, I figure better safe than sorry, and it's a lot easier to overkill the first time around than to fix it later. As the lights are all on...

Hi all- My electrician buddy who's helping/advising on the side is hard to get ahold of, hope someone here can answer a few questions before I do anything else lame. Lame? Why yes, I made about 15 very nice jumpers for grounds in my quad boxes before finding out I can only put one wire on a...

Hi all - my shop is basically done, except for electrical and garage doors. Doors on Friday, electrical is my department. Shown is a simplified image of the new shop. Build thread is here. 12' ceilings except in the angled section, approx 10.5'. This will be workspace. Three 2x4 skylights...

Hi all - Not garage related, except that this is a bit of a practice run for finishing the inside of my shop once it's complete. I'm remodeling a bathroom, and am at the point of finishing the drywall for paint. I've done a couple of skim coats, and screen-sanded smooth. It's almost...

Hi all - next silly question :lol_hitti My bays are perpendicular to my roof ridge. There's a drawing here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53794 The roof is a fairly low hip roof design. The doors are 8' high, with a 10' ceiling. I plan to have an open beam over the lift...

Hi all - My project is an addition to our existing garage, at an angle to match the lot line. It's 36' in front, about 52' in back, 22' deep, 10' walls. It will keep the same roofline as the existing garage, so will be built below grade to get more headroom. One 16' door to store two...

Hi all - after nearly twenty years of hoarding cars and parts, I finally have the space and money (hopefully) to build my dream garage. Dream garage is probably overstating it, actually, since all I really want is a load of bays, a lift, and plenty of room to build projects. Not so much into...
