beep-beep car is go posted:Stuff you’d be draining in a car garage shouldn’t go into the sewer either, really. I don't want to dump my oil in the sewer. I just want to wash my car without the stuff draining straight to fresh water.

I like that it has an electric deadbolt too.

Does it go into the sewer or storm drain? I don't get the opposition if it goes into sewer. It's better to wash your car and have the run off treated than doing it in the street / driveway where it will go down the storm drain.

I got the kind that mounts right to the shaft to save some overheard space as it's a small garage. Otherwise belt-driven is the way to go for quietness.

beep-beep car is go posted:We like Overhead Door openers. Our previous house had one that was installed in the early 90s and worked great until it died and we just replaced it with the modern version of the same one. Noise and speed are dependent on model and drive type. You can have higher horsepower motors, and different drive types. Belt drive is the quietest. Chain is the cheapest and loud. Screw drive is most powerful and fastest (I don't recall how it does on sound). There's also the direct drive that hangs off to the side and attaches directly to the door.

Liftmaster / Chamberlain / Craftsman would be myQ.

My garage has a sloped roof like this. If I wanted to build some kind of pulley to hold up my Yakima cargo box, is there a guide to do it? Also would the rails be strong enough to drill into, like how the yellow hooks are? Sidenote: I'm working on getting an electrician to clean up this rinky dink mess up there, but it's hard to get one to come out in Seattle.

It's nice when your stuff goes to a good home, too. I'm sure they're happy you're making good use of it.

You made me look up what those dark green mailboxes are. I used to walk by one with my dog and never remembered to look it up. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/71244/what-are-those-dark-green-mailboxes-dont-accept-mail "Relay boxes", I guess a place to just stash stuff temporarily.

Probably depends on the code / laws in your area, but our oil tank was just filled with foam. Also how old is the PEX? I know some of the stuff from the 90s are ticking time bombs.

Oh could be. The stuff we had was red and blue, but that doesn't mean it wasn't it.

I've used Hyperikon as they worked with my old T12 ballasts before I got around to removing them (fortunately they don't have any PCBs so easier to recycle). I've had them a year and they seem fine, but pricey. Not fully bridge rectified like I had hoped, but this doesn't bother 99.99% of people I think. Edit: at the edges of the light the colors split into blue and yellow I think, but it's in the basement, so I don't care. I can get a pic if you want but it seems like going through Home Depot or another store would be easier than mail order if you need warranty service.

Do you put a CO monitor in the actual garage? Cause that went off constantly and stayed on for a long while after just starting the car.

Advent Horizon posted:I do, but we also DD an EV. Otherwise you want it just inside the house by the door. OK, I do have them all across the house, but yeah, I did find in the manual that it says you're not supposed to put the carbon monoxide detector into the garage. The gas car is still the one in the garage cause it's newer and more valuable.
