Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the replies and advice! You are both flooring experts and I have great respect for your knowledge and skills in all things flooring related. I have read hundreds of your posts over the years. You guys are the best! Thank you, thank you for all you do on this forum...

I had a Slide-Lok polyaspartic floor installed 2 years ago. I now have 3 spots where the coating has peeled off. How do I spot repair these areas? What specific tools would you recommend? These pics show the worst spots. What caused this to happen in these spots?

Starting at your July 5th post and on, I can't see any of your pictures? Weird... I love what you have done with your shop space. Great work!

What are the details behind your can holders? PVC pipe glued to shelf? It is hard to tell from the photo, but I do like the idea! :)

Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedback. I don't have any experience with LED light fixtures so I wasn't sure if the "do not surface mount" was driven more by the high bay lighting classification category or by an actual "gets too hot" issue. Sounds like overheating is the #1 concern. The aesthetic...

Hi Guys, I found these high bay LED lights at Menards that I really like their 15,000 lumen output and their looks. But, the box says not to surface mount. I am contemplating just buying them anyway, drill holes through the sheet metal, and attach them directly to the rafters of of my...

Can someone post a picture of how to hard wire these Ebay fixtures? Can you go through the back or do you have to go out the end? Also, do you recommend the frosted lens or the clear lens option? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback CD! You brought up some excellent points that I did not think about, and that pretty much answered my question. I need to keep looking for better suited garage lights. Thank you! :)

Hi Guys, E-conolight.com has these LED high-output canopy lights on their website. They look pretty nice but I am not technically savvy enough to know if they would be good to use in my garage. Other than cost, do you see any down-side to flush mounting these to my 11.5 ft garage ceiling? I...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the advice. This house is in Cedar Rapids Iowa. We get some below zero temps in the winter for short periods of time, but I would say the usual temps during winter months are in the upper teens to low twenties (F).

I am buying a house with a 3-car drywall finished and painted garage. The exterior walls have R-19 rolled insulation in them. The house adjoining walls have R-23 net and blow insulation in them. I want to heat the space with a ceiling mounted Reznor UDAP-60 heater. Should I be concerned that...

Does anyone have any personal experience with trying to pull a flexible gas line, or electrical wire, through the inside of a finished wall that is insulated with net and blow insulation? If so, can you share any tips or tricks to doing it? I am trying to figure out the best way to run a gas...

Thank you to everyone who replied. I sure do appreciate the advice and recommendations! I have decided that I will use LED lights on the outside of my house, but carefully select a reputable brand. :beer:

I am in the planning stages of building a house in eastern Iowa. My general contractor emailed me today and said "My electrician advised against using LED lights on the exterior of the house, they don't perform well over the long term when subjected to the cold temperatures." Since I don't...
