    Another garage heater vent question.

    I installed my 80k heater late last fall. I too ran into a problem finding any cat. 3 vent locally. As a matter of fact, everywhere I called acted like I was from outter space when I mentioned cat 3. Not just box stores, local heating and gas companies. They all acted like they had never heard...

    Wire choice for 200' run to garage?

    I had a 165' run to my new shop. I ran 2-2-2-4 mobile home feeder wire in 2" conduit. By my voltage drop calculations, I'm good for 70 amps. 70 amp breakers are expensive and harder to find so I breakered at 60. I have a 2 post lift, air compressor etc with no issues. Sent from my SM-G973U...

    Advice from those witha 30x30

    Ease of access. I have a 2 post lift that I had to be able to pull straight into the garage to get on it. If I had done a single, it would have to be offset to one side or put the lift closer to the center of the garage which I didn't want to do. Also, backing a trailer in one side is much...

    Going to pull the trigger on a 2-post lift…what brands are good quality?

    I went with the Dannmar 10K wide asymmetrical lift for about $2900. It is ALI certified. Its decent. Ive been a tech in a dealership for 20+ years so I have plenty of experience using 2 post lifts. The Rotary was my first choice but it was a good $1500 more and I was running out of money...

    Big Maxx 80k questions

    I've done a lot of searching and came up with most of my answers, but still have a couple I could use some help with. I've got the heater mounted to the ceiling, and getting ready to do my vent. Hoping to order all the pieces and do it in one shot, as no local supply for cat 3 piping...

    Solar LED dawn to dusk light

    My suggestion would be to get a dusk to dawn light instead of a dawn to dusk. Be alot more useful. LOL. Just giving you a hard time, I'm interested in a similar light. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Underground conduit into crawlspace

    Just went through the same situation 2 weeks ago. Came into the house through an LB with MHF in 2" conduit into a 12x12 junction box. Used Polaris connectors to transition to SER and ran that about 15ft up into my panel. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Spinning concrete anchor

    I bought the $97 10 amp drill with a coupon for $69. I couldn't make myself buy the HF bits. I bought a Bosch that was suitable for rebar at Lowe's for $30. Drilled all 12 holes thru 7" of concrete like butter. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    26x30x10 Detached Garage

    Looks great. Wish I had put just a little more thought into my insulation and wiring like you have. I was scared to try my hand at conduit. Never really done any of it. And my impatience got the best of me.......yet again. I'm suprised to see you didn't opt for insulated doors. Do you plan to...

    Ghostshield 4500+8510 Temperatures

    I will say this. Install was no fun. It didn't react in any way like it was said. It puddled. It took days to dry. A friend applied 4500 the same week with the same trouble. Thinking maybe it was the weather? I dunno, temps were within spec, but just barley. No rain. If I put only enough...

    26x30x10 Detached Garage

    Mine is 30x30x12 with 2 10x10 doors. Yeah, it will look alot better with a normal door. I insisted they install mine with a steel door and not the mobile home door. I just wish I had specified that I wanted a door with a dead bolt. I got a quote for gutters, was $550 I think. Will be doing...

    26x30x10 Detached Garage

    So far I've just got the lower 4ft insulated and sheathed. But all my wiring is run with the exception of my outside lighting. Waiting in my 2 post lift to arrive this coming week. But it's still a mess and far from done but I'm out of funds for now lol. also note, the lights are just hung...

    26x30x10 Detached Garage

    I thought about drilling the legs for the MC cable but couldn't make myself do it. I have horizontal siding so I just ran it in one of the "channels" of the siding and went behind the legs. However when I did that I had decided not to insulate. Now I insulated and it made it a Royal pita. In...
