    How do I cool and heat this space effectively?

    New garage apartment. While they were building above the garage I had them insulate the ceiling etc. It's insulated on the back wall by dirt and about half of the side are also covered with dirt. But the structure is brick. I don't fancy cutting a hole for the exhaust of a AC unit or for a mini...

    Anyone used these before? They look like a decent inexpensive way to perk up the garage floor.

I've found plenty of intake house (past the preair cleaner) in silicone and other materials with the correct dimensioned openings but with not curve in the actual pipe as you see in the pics. Should I just try a...

    What do you know now that you wish you knew then? (New Garage setup)

    Already did the majority of purging as I had to move everything to a pod before construction began. If anyone has specific recs for tool storage gadgets I'd love to hear them! I think a slat wall will help keeping some things at hand and up off the floor? J

    What do you know now that you wish you knew then? (New Garage setup)

I'm getting ready to move back in and want to do it better this time. I'd really like to maximize space as much as possible. My initials thoughts are in the attached...

    Pump turns fine and seems to have compression. I did check that before I did anything else

    Got a free air compressor, need to rehab it and wire it up. Need advice.

    I've not confirmed the motor is locked up. But PO said, it would just hum and not move the belt. I hope to mess with it some this week. Thanks!

    Need garage electrical advice

    you guys were right, it's a leviton, L5-20 120v and yellow. So he's put in the wrong receptacle, the wrong wire and maybe the wrong breaker?

    Need garage electrical advice

    Do you mind explaining why it's not suitable for anything but a welder? I am asking that the electrician not be working here once I understand what it was that he did that was so offsides.

    Got a free air compressor, need to rehab it and wire it up. Need advice.

    As for the motor above, does anyone have any input? It seems like it's an exact fit for frame size and other specs. If I need one (if the current one is truly shot) then I could swap this one in?

    Need garage electrical advice

    Thanks for this. So, it looks like the electricians ran wire and a receptacle only suitable for the compressor itself and nothing else. So if I understand you right, I could have him run 10/2 wire, a 6-50 receptacle and a 30 amp breaker (might be 30 amp breaker already but not sure). Then, I...

    Need garage electrical advice

    I'm more interested in a smaller welder and not a massive one. So most of those use a 3 prong power cord. so I would need 30 amp breaker and a three prong 220 outlet (is that 14-300 nema?) and a three prong 220 power cord for the compressor?
