Sounds Great, will have to browse to see if I need anything. Thank you

I think it really depends on what all you are doing. New slab? How think? What kind of construction and tie in? New drive to access the garage? New electrical service to the garage? What kind of roof? Insulated?, T&G?. So many small things add up so quickly. I would get at least three quotes...

My understanding is that only outlets you can reach without a ladder need to be GFI. Lights for the garage should not be on a gfi because if they suddenly go out it could be dangerous trying to get around a garage in the dark. Just recently had a garage built and the inspector only looked for...

My doors came with little foam wedges with double sided tape on one side. You just stick them in the corners after installation and it seals it right up.

If you are a DIY kind of person you might look into the Arduino market and start learning about its capabilities. A quick search yielded this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-WiFi-Garage-Door-Opener/ You can pretty much do anything you can dream of, just takes some time to figure it...

The bare wire is your ground. Red and black are hot. and white is neutral. Some 220 units need the neutral (4 wire connector) to operate correctly. You should be able to test this by turning on your 220 vac breaker and measuring volts ac across the the wires. Red to bare should = 110, black to...

I personally went to IKEA and picked up some similar looking products for much cheaper and then painted the outside to make them match my color scheme. I am not using them outside though.

I can second the Dewalt 18V impact. Picked it up about a year or so ago and cant believe how I did anything of use before it. It has become my main tool for everything. There are a lot of impact drivers out there and it just comes down to what you can afford and what you will use it for. The...

I had a hot water slab leak and the plumber wanted a good $400 just to break the concrete out. Then had to figure out what exactly was wrong. I went and purchased a bulldog bosch rotary hammer and a few bits. Was able to cut a 12x12 hole in the slab myself in just 2 hours and fix the problem...

Looks great. Can't wait to see what top you have. Was thinking along the simiar lines, but not to remove the casters. Keep up the good work. Smiley

You really do need to look into your specific area. I live in El Cajon and just got done building my detached garage. For a basic comparison I am also in an unincorporated area of San Diego. My property has 25' setbacks from the front street and back property line, along with 3' from the side...

I am not sure if you have a costco around you, but I went through a costco rep that beat all three other garage door quotes by at least $1200. I got an oversized insulated door 18' x 9' with a liftmaster opener for $2500 installed. Might want to give costco a call if they offer that service in...
