Not required in Minnesota. 12 foot 2x6 studs with OSB on outside...no 1x4's.

I know bright red epoxy is available...below is my current floor bought from Hirschfield's, a paint store here in Minnesota. I want something similar, but I'm not using flakes this time...solid red. Just looking for something that doesn't require as much prep because of the lack of water at...

I am in the process of building a 32x64' garage/workshop/storage building. The 1/2 that will be workshop will have a coated floor. I want to use a bright red floor coating. I do not have water at this property as of yet, so I am looking for a coating with minimal prep required...floor was...

As you say, it probably varies from state to state, but here in Minnesota the drain would definitely have to connect to the septic to pass code.

I'm fairly new here also, but one thing I would highly advise...don't do 9x7 doors. At least 9x8's. With 9x7's, you can't even get some full sized pickups in them. 9x8's are the standard around here and many people are going to 10x8's or 10x9's. Good Luck!

F.Y.I., I just ordered 15 fixtures and 30 lamps from Bees Lighting. Called direct and asked for a discount. The only thing they could do is to apply a May coupon for $10 off whole order (shipping was already free). Thanks to the experts on here for this thread. I probably would not have...

Yes, I meant fixture, not lamp holder... Please excuse my ignorance when it comes to this stuff :dunno:

Am I reading this wrong, or has the lamp holders gone up to $15.96 each? When I click on the link in the first post, that's what it shows. Are these still the best option? Thanks...

Thanks PS and Nsula... I'll stick with the lights posted in the first thread.

Platonic, Can you tell by the below pics if this fixture would be comparable to the one in your first post? This is on the shelf at my local Fleet Farm for $10.97 each (obviously, no shipping, but about 7% sales tax). I am building a new shop and will need about 24 of these fixtures. I am a...

Does the name "Rupp" have anything to do with Rupp snowmobiles? 1975 Rupp Nytro with Sunburst Kohler...one of my favorite snowmobiles...sold it and bought a 1975 Yamaha GPX-433 because I thought the Yamaha would be more dependable. Had more trouble with the Yamaha than I ever had with the Rupp.

One thing you didn't mention is how long you plan to stay there. Most people stay in a house for about 7-10 years (even if they say they are going to stay there "forever"). I don't know where you are located, but around here (MN), mobile homes depreciate and stick built homes appreciate...

Are you going to spray foam 12 inches thick? If so, BIG $$$. Keep in mind, spray foam is only about R5 per inch.

Ceiling with insulation... 3 inches of foam is about R 15 14 inches of blown cellulose is about R 50

I'm up in the Brainerd area, but I've heard nothing but BAD about Economy Garages in my area. Good Luck!
