That makes a lot of sense!!!

This is not a garage question but I hope someone can help me, how to you nail Romex staples in a tight space, such as this in the pic? Thans, Steve

I haven't been very good at posting updates, I really didn't work on the workshop much during the summer. This fall I had the trench dug and laid the 2" and 1" pvc conduit. I have power and internet in the shop!! I ran unshielded Cat 6 wire. I have lights, I have them controlled by 2...

Thank you for the information!!! I will pull a ground just in case I have a loose connection in the EMT, do I need to ground junction boxes (pull boxes) and boxes with switches or receptacles with green screws? Thanks again, Steve

I can use some advice: I will be running ½” emt conduit to feed 2 - 20 amp circuits, one for outlets and one for fluorescent lights in my attic room. Can I combine my neutrals and gounds? If I’m using 12ga THHN what size ground can I use? I do know if I’m using GFCI outlets then it would...

So even though I can buy a 150 amp breaker, code would not allow it for a branch circuit (sub feed)? I do believe that over 100 amps draw would be excessive for my workshop but I do hope to do more welding and automotive work as I have time (hopefully retirement), a large welder and air...

Thank you, very good advice. I guess one benefit of an addition panel would be I wouldn't have to pull the whole length of cable at once but that does not justify the additional cost. Thanks again, Steve

Summer is over here in Central NY (at least in my opinion), time to get back to work on the garage. This is what’s I’ve decided on. I am running 2” PVC conduit through the basement of my house, of course my main service entrance is the farthest from my garage. I am going to install a...

Sorry, that was a pic from this site stole for reference, unfortunately, that is not my car.

That's a very clean way of doing it, it looks great. I know what I'll be doing during lunch today - going through your refurb thread. Thanks

Thank you!!

Thanks for the advice. What do you mean by back hang? Thanks, Steve

Thanks for the advice. I have added a headers and blocking to the inside and wrapped them in vinyl trim, I will include pics. My front doors are 10'x10's with 12' ceilings so I went with standard tracks. In the back I have a 9'x7' and I purchased the high lift track for that door. Thanks...

I like that idea, I was thinking of just cutting wood blocks but then I'd have to paint them, PVC pipe is good to go!! Thanks for suggesting the 5/16" x 3" lag bolts, I was wondering what size to use!! I will have my track ends cantilevered some since my trusses are 2' on center, 20% is good...

Thank you.

I'd say I'm committed to the overhead doors. Roll up doors are not common in my area for some reason. Thanks, Steve

I could really use some ideas on how to mount my brackets that will hold my 10'x10' OHD tracks. This is my garage: I've come across these pics while searching. It looks like they cut the metal and screwed the angle right to the truss. Here it they just did short brackets screwed to the...

What is required and how much would a fiber set up be to run 200' of underground cable? Thanks, Steve Sent from my SM-G935V using The Garage Journal mobile app
