    Garage window installation height

    My shop is about the same size as yours(36x48). I used transit windows all the around the top. They’re all non-opening. I chose these for light and security. About the only time I turn on the lights is at night. They allow tons of light to flood in. (10x10, 8x8, and 10x16 overhead doors).

    Liftmaster had a problem with the wall mount switch on the 8500’s. I have five 8500‘s and they‘ve sent me two switches. You can manually turn the over head lights off/on from the wall mounted switch If needed. I’m guessing but this may have something to do with the problem you’re having. The...

Wrap a chain around the base of the shrubs and then to the hook on the hoist. Five or six pumps and they popped right out with about a 3...

    NickH, My worldwide building is 36x48x12. I dealt with the same problem. I ended up boxing in the one of the trusses and framing out the two off the walls for my man cave. Also I notched around one of the truss supports with vinyl siding. I did remove one truss support. All of the wiring is in...
