Hello, I have a UDAS-60 that I am installing in my garage. Ceiling height is 12'. I originally hung the heater 6" from the ceiling but that made the exhaust vent (under eave) at about 9". Manual says to be 12"+. I moved the heater down an additional 18" from the ceiling. Now the bottom of the...

The new additional garage is detached. I have two OHDs, a 10x10 and a 16x10. Both are good quality and insulated but they are still garage doors. The garage will store my boat and non-daily driver truck, so the doors will not be opened regularly in the winter. Sent from my SM-G960U using The...

I went with 2x6 studs for a couple reasons. I plan on using r19/21 there. The spray foam would be to just seal the stud to the outside plywood and any gaps where they meet. Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

I was looking at the dow pro, it's like the regular rattle cans with tube attached but this is a gun and the cans screw on to it. Seems to have better control and can be cleaned after use. Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hello, While I sit home and think about all the projects I cant get finished with this shutdown, I'm contemplating air sealing my new garage with spray foam. I am looking at the DOW great stuff spray kits online. I have seen some videos of people using the foam to seal each stud bay, top plates...

After studying the info on this link, I think I would be fine to run with the current 1" pipe and tee off after my stove/dryer branch. Thank you for the link.

With the option of running from the meter directly to the garage with direct bury poly, do I need to be concerned with elevation change? My house is a walk out basement style. The meter is at 1st floor level. When I run from the meter, down about a 10 foot elevation change to the back of the...

Is there any kind of rule that would limit the number of takeoffs from the main? Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Yes. The meter supply comes from a different area. There are no utilities in the back of the house. Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Phil, I did measure and I got just over 1.25 inches diameter or 4.25 circumference. Pipe inside is labeled 1". I believe the pipes on the meter are 1.25" Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hello All, I have three options (that I know of) to run natural gas to my new detached garage. The meter size was increase 5 years ago to allow for a standby NG generator. According to my gas load calculation, there is more than enough capacity with this meter. The regulator is installed at the...

Terry, That you for the info. I pictured the box being mounted inside the garage flush with the exterior osb. It sounds like there is a shallow box available for surface mounting and just pull the romex through the back of the box. I should have mounted the boxes up first, but I should be able...

The blocks are used just for mounting the fixture. I think I still need a junction box inside the garage behind the j block. I was just wondering how to properly position the box. Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Hello, The contractors have started siding my new garage. They put up j blocks for the siding but there is currently no electrical junction box in the garage. When I wire up the lights, what type of junction box do I need? A standard round new construction type mounted to a 2x cross member...

I really like the Brady BMP21 label maker. Many different types of labels and some are chemical resistant. Good for general labels and small diameter wire. Easy to use . Sent from my SM-G960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

My garage foundation is complete and I am using 2" eps panels to insulate the outside of the concrete wall. The foam is currently all the way up to the top of the poured wall. Final grading will leave 16 to 6 inches of exposed foam around the perimeter. I am debating on cutting the foam at...

I will be using attic storage (spread web) trusses for my garage build. I will have a pull down stair to access it for light bulky storage. I plan to use blow-in insulation above a metal panel ceiling. There will be a runway 10' wide of ply to walk on. Do I sandwich insulation between the "attic...
