Tim--incredible thread and I applaud your approaches to accountability. As a retired military guy and current fed (many stories with both), accountability is underrated and many managers do not have the courage to be transparent/up front with their staff on this or on expectations...this...

Here is a pic of the front elevation...the second garage is slanted towards the left rear

I agree--I am going to address both of the issues with the architect--this is intended to be my retirement home and I don't want to struggle with garage issues at all

Thanks! I am going to get a price do that to the garage--it is what I wanted to do but the plan came out like this...It would essentially be a wrap around garage in order to ensure the front of the house was not all garage.

Thank you for this! I will check to see if the laundry can be moved closer to the bedroom/kitchen--that may or may not required the great room to be shifted towards the garage. Once we have bought the house I plan to install a mini split AC for the garage; I will use it when I plan to be in the...

Thanks for all of this! The top left will be facing the neighbor in the back, the rear of the house will face a wall of jungle that runs a parallel to a 8 mile walking/niking trail. so it will be green space. The pool will be concealed with a concrete block wall--the pool is essentially inside...

GJ, I am moving to Florida full-time and building a house with a 1,500 sq ft "6-car garage". The architect has drawn up a plan but I am not sure if he understands a garage. His 6-car garage is actually two spaces--Space 1 is 22' x20' and Space 2 is 18.8' x 48.8'. Here are the details on...

Thank you gentlemen. I’m a little unclear on parts of this. Here is what I think I am reading; Th capacitor I bought will work but has an extra terminal and is a dual cap. I can hook one wire to herm or fan and the other to “C” and it will work okay. The capacitor should fit in a cover so...

I heard pvc pipe would work okay too

Thanks gents. Two more dumb questions. I bought this one; it has three terminals—which two do I use? Also, do I absolutely have to have a cover? My original cover is too small now. Thanks again

Roger that--I really appreciate the recommendation though--GJ folks are awesome! I do need a smaller one and am stumbling through Amazon now to find one

higher would be higher than 300vac--correct?

Should I check something in the motor before swapping capacitors or just swap it out and see what happens?

Thanks--It is 16 years old and has sit in a hot/cold garage for its lifetime. I didn't know if it was likely that something other than age caused it to blow. Higher voltage would be higher than 300VaC, correct?

I was lifting my car and the lift got to about 1 foot from the ground when I heard a very loud "POP" and the factory smoke came out of capacitor. The bottom of the capacitor blew into pieces. How do I test to find out what happened? Would a capacitor that is failing or failed blow up like...

Are they competitively priced? I believe the quality is good...

Gents, I am planning to build a 4-car, double deep garage with upper storage area. I am satisfied with my Amish shed and am considering using Amish to build this garage. Any thoughts on how big I'd need to go? Has anyone in Virginia used Amish to build a garage? Is so, what was your...

The provider is Dominion Energy...

They refuse to talk to me because I do not own the property. They will not even give a ballpark price. Once I own the house, they will send out a "designer" who will give me an estimate. Way too difficult and I don't want to run a second meter at $30 per month just for the meter and their...

Bill- we tried; he was in a car accident and now cannot respond...true story...I made an offer on the house with the hope that there is not some crazy reason power cannot be fed from the house. I suspect he wanted a separate line or didn't consider feeding from the house... I am just trying to...
