What temp do you all keep the thermostat on, for floor heat in your garage.

Walrus, how much for the dog???

Young kid (17) working 4 the contractor, stole 1000ft of romex wire and a 250ft roll from my building. I sure would like 2 spit some beech nut in that dude's eye!!! The cop's are involved but so far no proof. Please share your story's of how you've been robbed. Maybe, just maybe it will calm me...

Nice looking garage!!!!

I like all of the suggestions, however I don't think granite/tile is needed for this application. This garage is smack dab in the middle of the corn belt (So. IL). So not a need for anything too fancy. I guess I should've been more specific lol. I need to know what type of wood product to use...

You will have to cut a plate steel shim to bring the low side level. No big issue, don't sweet it too much. I have 1 1/2" fall over 16' to my center drain, so I to will need to shim when I put in my lift.

I was wondering if anyone out there in Garage Journal land could help me w/ a design issue.... I need a suggestion for an outdoor bar ledge. It will be placed under a window sill, on an outside porch w/ a roof over it. The window will be 72" wide, so I guess the bar ledge needs to be at least...

I need advice on a footer concept that my concrete guy is trying to sell me on. I just don't know enough about it to know it it's good/bad or what? Once the dirt work is done he will trench down 2ft. x 8in. wide & pour full with concrete. There will be rebar sticking out the top, then he will...

Thanks for the info! There is alot to decide when a guy is building a shop (4 Life), I'm overwhelmed!! Oh well, it's a good problem to have.

How thick does it need to be for a 2 post lift? Can I have the 40x60 poured all 4" except where the lift goes? What psi rating should it be? I want to do this project right the first time, but I don't think I need 6" thru the entire shop. Any suggestions on this issue would be greatly...

Thanks to all for the feedback!!! You are quick to help a guy out :)

My building is slated to be built Mid. April, and I want to know if a lift will work in a building with 10ft. sidewalls. I will have scissor trusses, and I think it will work, but just wanted to be sure before signing on the dotted line!!!:headscrat

What are Zip Strips? How much does radiant Floor heating cost for a 40x60? Can someone draw a sketch and/or send a pic of how to insulate the floor/foundation sidewall, for radiant. A cross section view would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for the help!!!!:thumbup:

I'm writing this all down. These are all great ideas!! Thanks and keep em' coming. Can they cut expansion grooves in the floor, when radiant floor heat is present.
