garage

I've got an RV shed with about a 12x14 sectional garage door on tracks. When I bought the place ~ 12 years ago it was manual. No helper springs or motors. For all these years I've just lifted it up and put a 9' piece of 1x6 to hold it up. I'd spray the rollers with garage door lube when it...

Long time lurker but only my second post. I moved into a new house last year. I am planning on adding a 24x32 extension onto the side of my existing 2-car attached garage. Stick built with troweled concrete floors. My brother suggested I include in-floor tubing during the pour so I can heat it...

Hi, Is it harmful for a mini excavator to be driven carefully out of a garage immediately after startup without a 5 min warm up? Warm up will fill the garage with exhaust or should I use a hose on the exhaust to get the fumes outdoor? Thanks Erling

Hi folks, I want to get my Dish TV signal from my house to my shop, about 500 ft. I don't want to have to get another account with another dish. Is there a wireless way to get the signal out there, or am I going to need to run 500+ ft of RG6? Any other suggestions? I have tried using the Dish...

I was looking to buying the Atlas 9KOHX 9,000 lb 2-post car lift. I was looking at BendPak but the lifts are pushing $6k for the same lift while the Atlas is $2,500. There is a company "Heavy Lift Direct" that allows direct pickup at its warehouses. So that saves $400 on shipping. My garage...

Anyone ever been in the situation as to where you can only keep one of the two in the garage if so how did you decide which one sits outside? I really haven't seen to many downsides to leaving a tractor out side except a few issues like nest in the air box, hydraulic hoses cracking and needing...

I wasn’t really sure where to post this but this seems like maybe the right place. Do any of you have experience with portable fabric garages? I am looking at one from portable garage Depot. The prices seem very good but want to make sure the quality is there as well. I’m pretty sure I would...

For my insulated detached garage (1,200 sqft). I was thinking of getting a 1 ton ductless minisplit unit to help cool it in the summer and provide a little heat in the winter, if needed. Would the 1 ton be undersized for an insulated garage? (R-30 walls/R-40 roof/R-8 car entry doors) I'm in Zone...

I'm looking at adding a 30x50 garage with a second story and two double width doors for parking 4 cars. I have local height restrictions max 8.0 m or about 24 feet to the peak. Ideally I am looking at an 8 foot finished ceiling height in the garage and a sloped ceiling on the second floor. For...

When cleaning up my late brothers place, I came across a lot of direct bury 12/2 wire. Hundreds of feet of it. I'm sure that I'll find a use for it in the future, but as of right now, I can't think of any use for it. I'm running wire for my garage addition and I'm out of the regular yellow...

I have got a 2 bay garage, where I parked my JD 1026r with the ROPS up with a canopy as well. I looked at the vertical dimensions for the CK3520 and it’s really close as to whether it will drive in/out with the ROPS up. Canopy no way. Any of you store your 3510/20 in a garage with the same...

Well, The question in the title kind of sums it up! Lets dig deeper..... Say you have a full size truck and regardless if you live in the country or suburbia, your truck seems tight in your garage! I am looking for those folks who have trucks that manage to park in the garage! What size door...

Since I can’t stop fixing things… I hope to one day build a detached garage/shop but for now I have my two bay garage. It’s 22 x 22; obviously a portable setup is needed and I’m wondering about one that will go up 24” or so… I’m guessing a mid height one might not fit on one side - what do the...

Greetings, I'm looking to replace a metal shed building with dirt floor with a permanent garage. I'd like to keep the garage pretty small but then have a shed roof off to the side or other side storage for a covered and secured area to store implements. Considering racking and other ways to...

We replaced our old carport and garage that set on the slab above 20” from the retaining wall and so water pooled and ran underneath it and soaked the floor. With the new one the garage sets on the retaining wall and the garage is 30’ deep and 20’ wide measuring to the outside edges. The...
