Title: Building A Garage
Post by: Scoobum on October 24 2019, 08:57:52 PM
Okay, my son in law is gonna be building my garage in  the spring. Car and a half. 220...heated.. .side door...electri c door opener. What am I forgetting?
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: TexasT on October 24 2019, 08:59:45 PM
The other half for the half car.


Thick enough floor for a lift.
Enough ceiling height for said lift.
Heated floor.
Plenty of lighting.
Loft or second floor to store stuff.

Not sure what the bylaw is for height.

Decide what you want for a lift and plan around that . Does it need a pit , extra floor thickness or pads etc. Make sure its an insulated garage door. You want cooling too. How small is the service for your house?. Never get a 7ft wide door, always 8ft if they are singles.

a shitload of lights and plugs.   I curse the person that built my garage with only 2 outlets.  Mine garage is also car and half, I do wish it was a bit longer.   Buick doesn't leave much room on either end to move around.  So I'd say, build it as big as they'll possibly let you.

Buick is 16ft. Add 2ft min for the end you aren't workin on, say 6feet for the other end.
A minimum of 25 feet long? Prolly not enough...

Subpanel in the garage and everything fed off that so your breakers are near by.

Definitely will be longer. Deck is beside it...so width will be an issue.

Wire it like a kitchen- outlets 3 feet apart and one breaker per one or two outlets but put adjacent outlets on different breakers. Split outlets would be nice but 3 conductor wire gets pricey.

No matter what the intentions are at time of pour...   put pex tubing in the slab.   Once it's poured, you can't go back and add that.

A small rocket stove could easily heat water to make the floor warm for free.   Nobody want's to lay on a cold slab.     Oh, and insulate the perimeter of the slab for that reason too.

speaking from experience, Use Roxal for insulation as it's mold resistant and won't absorb moisture like pink fibreglass. Make sure you vapour barrier the hell outta it so it's air tight = nice n warm (no drafts)
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: daveismissing on October 25 2019, 08:52:26 PM
Put all the outlets 4feet up. Low they just get wet and you are going to pile crap against the wall or change you mind about where the bench goes.

Okay, the new garage is gonna be 4 feet wider and 5 feet longer than the current one. Shoot me some ideas on heating it. Oil and wood are a no go. I can have a gas line run from the house if need be.

Here the garage cannot exceed the height of the house.  If you have a 2 story your good to go!  And the rest of the stuff Rich said.
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: bullnerd on January 07 2020, 01:06:07 PM
I have a 30x40 pole building. Metal liner panels on walls and ceiling, fiberglass 6" blankets in the walls, blown in cellulose in the ceiling.


I heat it with a two stage 30-40k, (I think) gas, radiant tube heater hung from the center of the ceiling. My ceiling is only 10', which isn't ideal for RT heaters, but the one I bought is designed for low ceilings and works VERY good.


I set it at 65 (unless my daughter is doing a project, then 68) and it stays dead on through the coldest nights here in NJ. Everything in the shop is at a comfortable temperature, including the floor.  T-shirt weather all year round.


After radiant floor, like GRumpy mentioned, radiant tube is the next best thing.


Oh, and its super efficient and I ran my own gas line, very easy to do.

Post by: bullnerd on January 07 2020, 01:50:42 PM
Also, I ordered the heater from a place called, Matchless-energy Management, In Parsippany NJ.  They are the distributor in my area for Superior radiant tube heaters. 

Guys name is John Grant, super nice guy and very helpful. He did a free heat loss calc and advised what size/type of heater to buy. 

Here is the official number of the one I have, Superior Radiant SeriesLTA04N3A Low Clearance Two Stage Heater 

No affiliation with these guys, just trying to help.

If I could have designed my shop, some type of heating coming from the floor.  Concrete is cold and sucks the life out of you
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: Forzfed on January 08 2020, 11:31:10 AM
One of the places I worked removed the steam heat and replaced it with radiant.  The problem with radiant is you have to be standing right under it to be warm and when it was -20C or colder there was no heat.  But this was in a building with 40ft ceiling.  We referred to the radiant heat area as cold storage! :player:
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: bullnerd on January 08 2020, 01:28:21 PM
I've heard that before, but if it's set up properly, I dont think thats the case.


I can feel the difference from directly underneath my heater vs being over by the wall, but the difference is not really worth noting. If the room is insulated properly, it's hard to beat.


If you research how it works, It heats the stuff, the stuff radiates heat. The trick is to leave it on continuous, so all the stuff stays warm.


Floor stays plenty warm to touch/sit on when it's below zero outside.


The only other thing I would say to the op is do the best you can afford on the insulation, especially the ceiling.
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: Forzfed on January 08 2020, 02:27:49 PM
I know exactly how radiant heat works.  And once it got colder than -30 the radiant heat was none existent because of the density of the air and the fact that heat rises!

 LOL, hey, we learned that Brad must be building a shop 40 ft tall and that heat rises as compared to cold.  He should have been more specific and stated that radiant heat works, it just not work if one is 40 ft below it unless it has an assist fan.

Meanwhile, back in the real world...LOL

Then we can argue if it's better to blow the cold air out or blow the hot air down or both:045:

Post by: Forzfed on January 09 2020, 06:50:04 PM
Yeah, I wasn't implying anything. 
I'm just basically letting him know the pro's and con's.  For the last 5 years I have been working with heating controls and have seen lots of stuff.  One place I worked had a Geothermal, which was 100% useless in the winter.  If the inside is set for 22'C and the outside temperature is -45'C that is a delta T of 67 degrees, that was impossible for the system to work.  The Director even commented that we have the most expensive AC!  And even that I commented on why we are going through heat pumps when the ground water is exactly what the chilled water loop runs at. :chin:
Radiant heat would be good as long as your not opening the overhead door often and you're not dealing with extreme cold and wind.

No, it is not one of the laws of thermodynamics!!!!!!!!!

Also, it is properly referred to as the Stack Effect, but, it's still not one of the Laws of Thermodynamics .

Ron, you have me thinking.  If you dig a 40 ft hole in the floor under a radiant heater that is 40 ft above the floor, when you open the cover to the hole, does the air in the building all pour into the hole while the hot air around the heater rises up and goes to the top of the building?  Subsequently, does this result in a vacuum at floor level so all the workers die of oxygen deprivation?

The air across the top of the chimney creates a vacuum[draw] so if you put a pipe to recycle the heat being drawn out and pipe it back into the building at floor level then it would heat the floor space. :D

IDK Steve ,seems like the air in the ground is warmer than the air above and the air near the roof is warmer than both of those so probably create a sideways tornado

But on a serious note nothing beats the heat from a wood stove.
maybe a pellet stove would work.
Title: Re: Building A Garage

Polar vortex!    Pellet stove work very well for sure. I think the radiant heater will work as well unless the interior volume is too great. Insulation will be everything
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: bullnerd on January 09 2020, 11:57:12 PM
"Insulation will be everything"

I ran my heater a bit over one winter before I had insulation blown in the ceiling. I was really shocked at the difference after insulating. I knew it would be better, but I didn't know how much. 

I think he said no wood or oil?

Think of the band CCR and you have conduction, convection and radiation.  Convection is where the chimney effect falls in.  If it makes you feel better you can call it stack effect.

Bullnerd, you did not sidetrack the convo.  That was Forzfed going off on a tangent about 40 ft ceilings, etc.  He did not seem to get the hints we tossed at him.  SMH.

The radiant heaters that you mentioned are built up in Ontario and I am pretty sure they know what will work and what will not.  Sounds like Brad's shop should be ideal unless he has 40' ceilings.
Title: Re: Building A Garage

It's gonna be 15x25 to 15x27 with an 8 foot ceiling. Gonna talk to the son-in-law about the length. I'm leaving myself 4 feet between the deck and the garage. My motorcycles are in the shed in the back...and I need room to get them between the deck and garage.
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: reality on January 11 2020, 04:51:24 PM
Make an access through the garage. Or better yet, cut the part of the deck off and make the garage even bigger. with a through access.


How warm do you want the garage to be? Anything above 60f is just a waste.IMO

Son-in-law just left. He's gonna talk to the town by-law guy and find out how long I can build it...and how far away from the house it has to be. How far from the house will dictate the length...as my yard isn't very big.
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: nocooler on January 15 2020, 01:04:04 PM
That's my issue Brad - 15ft from the sideline and 20ft from any existing building is what I'm regulated to. I have a 60' wide patch but after regulations, I'm left with 25'. If I attach it I can build what I want up to the 15ft sideline. 1 street over, it's 10' and 10'. My township is less than helpful and has not responded to any of my questions. I need to call another builder - the last few have been no shows or never deliver the quote. I just haven't felt like dealing with it. 
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: good2win22 on January 15 2020, 05:31:49 PM
Not sure if you can do it up there Brad, but in the states you can file with the municipality for what’s called a variance. This is an exception to the rules. We had to do one for my father in laws back porch. File with the city and then send certified letters to the neighbors to see if they had a problem with what we wanted to do. If no one squawks, then the variance is approved and your somewhat free to build.

Single door. I'm on a small lot. This will be as big as the town will allow for the lot size. I have a 1 and a half storey. Built in 1952. Looks like a 'war time' home. They were built to last. No plywood BS. Roof is 2x10.

Will they allow height for a lift? If so, get the overhead bar type, not the one that routes cables through floor type cover. In floor heat can't be beat, very efficient also if properly insulated, floor included. Your not building a huge building so in floor won't be that bad cost wise to operate, just up front cost. As mentioned, lots of plug ins with lots of breakers, 4 foot up is convenient. Again with that size a ceiling mounted extension cord on a retractable reel is super handy. Will reach most of shop. Run an air line down one side with quick connects every 6 ft. Super handy. Use white steel on ceiling with LED lighting and you will love the lighting. Just finished building my 3rd shop and these are some things I have incorporated in last one. If I ranked by "must have" first is in floor heat, second is led lighting, third is lots of plug ins.  Just my 2 cents, enjoy the new shop

Title: Re: Building A Garage

It was an option we strongly considered. We felt like it’s money in the bank even with a garage on it. But as a separate lot it’s has value, even if the economy tanks. Hawaii property with a ocean view on a corner is money and I got it right. Rich guy bought it got bad news from his doctor and gave me a price 50% of what it paid if I could cash him out before Friday ( three days) best money I ever spent on anything. 
Go Scoobum some may think your not going big enough. That’s just the right size so you don’t have to exercise self control on how much $hit you can horde. A lift  in a garage is so handy usual for your beer drinking friends how just need to use it for a hour and realized he for got to get something and it’s up in the air for two weeks waiting for it.
My son keeps telling me to use his shop,he has 3 lifts ever time I go over to help out I drive something that needs a oil change. I leave and go home and roll around one the floor because his place is full, guess that why he calls me up for help.
Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: Steve Wood on June 15 2020, 08:36:34 AM
My lift is used mainly for storage.  As I got older, my back preferred I lay on it under the car instead of standing up and reaching up under the lift!

Title: Re: Building A Garage
Post by: TexasT on June 15 2020, 03:59:02 PM
Just have to get it resurveyed and split off when you decide you want to sell it. The new owner can keep or bulldoze the building as long as it isn't built on the property line. 
Land anywhere will have value, some not near as much as real estate on one of the Hawaiian islands and is generally a decent investment but cash flow on a parcel ain't much if it is just sitting there. A building to do things and store things in adds value to any car or motorcycle guy but that doesn't produce the cash flow either. Some things are just cash consumers.

Just insulating the ceiling. Wood stove is going in first. Takes very little heat to keep it at 70 degrees. Square footage is only 375.
