    Garage Heating

    Wow, heat 4K square feet with 120K unit heater? That must be designed for something that will be heated all the time... What about something heated only when being worked in? Sporadically. Chris

    It would be best to epoxy before the lift is in. Depending on your garage configuration, you could do 1 side and have the lift on another and then roll back when it dries. I have an Atlas 409 from Greg Smith Eq. I am quite happy with it. As far as the wall epoxy... it is all about...

    I had a 200A meter base on my house and upgraded to a 320A. The POCO said the wiring was fine going to my meter base to support the 320RMS panel. There is no disconnect between my meter base and the house breaker panel. Its within 6' of the meter base. House panel is 200A. The panel in my...

    400amp to house (200 to garage) $$$$

    I might be misreading the OP's inquiry but I think he is only getting a 320A residential meter base that does take a plug in meter. The 320 bases can use a set of dual load lugs where they could pull 200A into the house and leave 200A available to a future outbuilding. $1300 for a 320 meter...

    Recessed lights vs. LED Tubes

    1200 lumens per 23w fixture in recessed lighting? https://a89b8e4143ca50438f09-7c1706ba3fabeeda794725d88e4f5e57.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/spec_sheets/files/000/015/014/original/ushio-1003922-specs.pdf?1440215338 3800 lumens per 37 watt Costco light. Not much of a output/input equation. Chris

    Feit Electric T8 LED Fixtures at Costco
