going back to the original question.... yes, your return grille is too small. I cant see enough of what else is going on, is it possible to use a louvered door in that closet to open up the return path?

Ive searched and cant find an answer....... I'm putting racedeck down on my garage floor. Seems I have some moisture migrating through the concrete (not much but some). If I put the racedeck down (free flow) it will breathe. I could seal it first, but wouldn't trapping the moisture be worse for...

it just seems weird that the moisture never harmed the wood until I put the mat on top of it. this wood parquet locks together like hardwood; no gaps

Got a bit of a strange problem. I have a 30 year old garage. Concrete is in good shape. In the back room of the garage (we use it as an exercise room) the previous owner put a 'parquet' wood floor down over the concrete. It is (was) in good shape with no issues. That is, until I put black...

ok. will do. Thanks!

Dang. Of course I just saw this and I need to order some racedeck to replace some bad garage floor tile. I know the sale is over, but do you still have any special deals on over runs, discontinued stock, etc..?

conventional system is more reliable and easier/less expensive to work on in the future when there is a problem. parts are more readily available. less efficient and bulkier though.

what size system are you installing? also, are you running ALL hard metal duct? if you are running any flex, then those cfm numbers do not work for you. (the cfm numbers above are actually high if flex duct is used) Also, lets say you follow your plan where you put in all 8" runs....you need to...

just read through this...WOW! Very well thought out. It turned out great and the floor looks amazing.... nice!

oh, didn't realize that. I just bought a similar sandblaster and thought if I put wheels on the rear I could store it out of the way and move it when I need it since it is not a frequently used tool. when I get around to adding the wheels I'll post something up on here.

Your garage turned out great; I enjoyed reading through the progress. Quick question: I saw in one of the early pictures that you had a sandblaster. Looked like you put wheels on it? Do you have any closer pics? I just bought a sandlblaster that looks similar to yours and was thinking of putting...

Nice house! That garage is going to be awesome. Congrats!!!

while he is probably right, he still sounds like a jerk on a power trip. He didn't need to threaten tickets just yet; maybe he should have introduced himself to the new neighbors and made a couple polite suggestions. Sounds like a 'fun' neighbor; good luck. When you cut your grass, make sure to...

On a building that size I'd forgo the mini split option. Too much equipment and unnecessary refrigerant lines, electrical, condensate lines, etc... would need to be installed. Overly complicated for what you are trying to accomplish. You mentioned in your first post you might not want to deal...

You are correct (so long as the system was designed properly to begin with). Your unit needs to move a certain amount of air. Closing vents off reduces the amount of air it can move. It will try to force air out of the other vents; but the system should have been designed to move a specified...
