Re: Garage addition Nope been around since 2002. I like to mix it up once or twice a year. Same stuff gets old and I don't see how you guys do it! Variety is the spice of life. That or I'm very very very good with Photoshop and I made that picture just to hijack the thread.

The poster above him.. IS him. In other words draiman is the same person as elminster. He's a serial name changer/account deleter. |

thanks for the recap..
the framing and all the other work done on the attic will be my guide when I build mine in the future. |

Soon as I get the insulation installed that will clear the room up and I'll take a nice set of pictures that shows the insulation and electrical.
For electrical here's the write up on what was done:
4 - outlets on the left wall
4 - outlets on the right wall
2 - outlets on the back wall
3 - outlets on the front wall
1 - low voltage outlet for coaxial cable (TV) on the front wall
1 - outlet in the ceiling (billard table light or HD projector maybe)
3 - lights in the ceiling
1 - smoke/co detector in the ceiling
1 - 14/3 wired reinforced box made for a ceiling fan and wired to a switch for future use in the ceiling (14/3 so light and fan could be controlled separately if needed)
The top floor of the garage is all on it's own 15 amp circuit minus the smoke/co detector which is off the downstairs and hallway lighting circuit. I'm going to have the electrician add one more 15 amp circuit and run an outlet to it on the back wall just for an A/C unit or electric heater. Eventually I'm thinking I'll have a mini split installed in that area with a heat pump. I'm sure it's overkill on electrical but I'm trying to future proof it as much as possible. I'm still debating if I want to run a few network cables or just leave it as a wireless area since it works perfectly. I could add the network cables later though since the crawlspace on both sides is open.

It's got all the makings of a great sitcom from drama to content to humor to fights and much much more. You can learn stuff or just get entertained all in the same place. Not my intent when the thread was started but it turned into one heck of a thread for sure.

I ran a 'home run' coax cable to the garage last night. I have to finish it up tonight but that's the last of the wiring. I decided to skip network cable for now. That can be added at a later time if needed.

I received one of these »www.quicksmart.com/qs_etherrain.html last Christmas, so I'm going to have to run Ethernet to the garage. Looks like it'll be a cool device that could help save water (and the lawn). |

I replaced my sprinkler controller with a similar device: rain8pro . Instead of ethernet, this one is serial port controlled but it also has the added convenience of manual operation through push buttons for each zone.
I installed a pair of powerline ethernet adapters (netgear 85mbps) to temporarily get ethernet to the garage but it has worked so well that years later the temporary solution is still in place.
