you could use a repeater since you don't need big throughput. doubling the signal halves the throughput, but wifi music from Spotify/pandora and such isn't very demanding.

i've never run into issues with a place for my feet. but i bet next time i whack my toes and immediately get the welder out ;)

+1 to sheet cake pans. clean up easy with brake cleaner, hold their shape, handle heat and are cheap!

the black one at HF is adjustable for wheel sizes and you can remove the front wheel chock stop and the pivot on a couple of pins, they're just on R clips. i have one bolted to my HF lift, which replaced a wooden table like that one a couple years back...

Kilt hit it on the head for both parts! i will for sure disconnect everything after use.

yeah it's a potable water hose, and i will for sure let it run for a minute before capturing the water. it will for sure be boiled as part of the brewing process (for anywhere from an hour to 90 minutes).

thanks J King! that looks like it would absolutely do what i need it to. thinking about modifying this setup a bit, putting the hydrant outside and running a connector through the wall to another spigot in the garage. that way i have access to the water outside easily, i don't have to break the...

yup, absolutely needs to be below freeze line.

holdover that was totally my plan, inspired by a buddy who installed one for his horse in upstate NY for water.

J King, what do you do about your traps? do they freeze?

i would love to see a pic of that :) no garage drain, unfortunately.

i was hoping to do this on the up-and-up. that's a good solution, but as you said not the right way. at that point i can just as easily hook up my garden hose for the day, just gotta remember to blow it out so it's not frozen for the next time i brew.

the goal is to eventually put heat in the garage, but i don't want to have to run it at all times to keep the pipes from freezing. more like just to heat the structure when i'm actually working on bikes or brewing. guess i'll just have to user a hose. :dunno:

i am absolutely looking for a way to drain the above-freezeline system easily, preferably automatically. I didn't think about the traps, and definitely have the same issue there. i am hoping to use this sink during the freeze season (brewing beer) so automatic solutions are definitely...

sorry, i guess i should mention i'm in Salt Lake City, Utah, so there really is danger in freezing pipes. we definitely drain sprinklers in the winter and spend a fair amount of time running the snow blower. ;) attached are a couple of pictures. the left building is the garage, the right...

so i've got a detached, uninsulated garage that i want to run water to. in a perfect world i would love to plumb cold and hot with a drain back to the house, but would settle for cold with a french drain into the yard, since i'm only really using it for beer brewing and the occasional hand...

thanks guys. sounds like i may try to seal the roof vents and point the gable fans to exhaust. then insulate after all the other work in the garage is done.

i'm in salt lake city, so 90+ in the summer and below freezing in the winter. 24 x 29 garage with an attic. drywall on all 4 walls & ceiling but no insulation. 2 passive vents in the north side of the roof, 2 decorative gabels (1 west, 1 east) but they don't actually let air in so i'd need to...

if nothing else it should be easier to install/replace and a little bit cheaper. any suggestions on the following configurations? 1 push 1 pull (cross-ventilate) 2 pulling air in (vented through existing passive at top/soffits for exit) 2 pushing air out (venting air in through existing passive)

so the garage has been sweltering all summer, so i spoke with an architect buddy of mine who suggested the following 1) replace passive roof vents with active (fan) system (or possibly a gable vent) 2) insulate i have 2 passive vents in the north side of the roof, i am wondering what it...
