    Can anything else do 200 lumens/watt?

    If this really is the hill you want to die on, Dialight has their Vigilant LED High Bay Fixture which has a configuration that achieves 200 LPW. Most of the commercial and industrial fixtures will be available only through manufacturer representatives, many aren't sold direct to the public. In...

    Radiant Heat in Shop/did I do it right?

    I think he's made two mistakes that compound to a poorly performing radiant floor, I'm a visual guy so I'll add some images I've knicked from google. First and foremost, he did not insulate the slab, as has been mentioned conduction is the primary method of heat transfer here so a radiant...

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    I'm going back and forth on the greenstone product, we did get a preliminary quote that came in at $180k for the material, $78k of which is the roof. We're awaiting a quote for the same in traditional stick construction to compare. I'm leaning towards having it for the roof system, and...

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    Looking back, it looks like I forgot to post any of the exterior elevations. Oh my, that won't do.

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    It's been a while, but small update. Will definitely chat with my mech designer about a seperate HRV for the garage. Things have been developing with the plans, we added a mezzanine, and it looks like there is enough room to have a space under the garage slab for storage. Plan will be to use...

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    Moved things around some more and I think it might be better. The 4 posts still require an S turn to get onto them straight but now it's a straight shot to the 2 post and a bit more storage and benches around. Not too sure how good of an idea is to have the tool box just kinda in the middle...

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    Thanks for the suggestion on the Slot Drain, poking around the website it seems like the base 6000 series is what I am after, pretty much just looking to have it so that it catches any of the slush and snow that melts off the cars. Likely the occasional wash. I will likely be going with the...

    Thanks! I'm assuming you've moved south or have family up here somewhere?

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll be playing around with the placement, orientation, and configuration of the lifts, hopefully can find an arrangement that works well and is an efficient use of space. I like the double wide 4 post for the compactness of it, although I will leave it as a 'future'...

    New Dream Garage Build - Help me not make dumb mistakes!

    Hello Everyone! I'm a car nut and I like working on my own vehicles, and I'll be building a dream home and garage next year. Up until now I've been doing all my work in a small two car garage and things are tight. As I don't have a lot of experience in a larger garage, I'm not sure what works...

    Bajaha's introduction

    As you can see, I've got my hands full. For the majority of my life I've only worked out of a relatively small two car garage (funny story with that, our current home was designed by my father and the garage was sized by going out to the parking lot of their apartment, measuring two spots, and...

    Bajaha's introduction

    Which brings me to an exciting time in my life. When it rains, it pours they say, and well it's all coming at once. Mid 2020 we worked through a real-estate deal where we put in a conditional offer on a vacant lot contingent on approved variances and we're now at the point where money has...

    Bajaha's introduction

    Other than doing mechanical things with cars, I also enjoy racing them. I'm on-and-off again with AutoX and I've previously gotten a racing license to compete in time attack at the local motorsports park. Still learning and have to dust the cobwebs off and get back into it, but as mentioned, I...

    Bajaha's introduction

    A little background on myself, I'm an electrical engineer who's into cars. I have had quite the assortment over the years with one of my favorites being my 03 Subaru Baja that I swapped a 2010 WRX motor and 2013 STI transmission into. It was a huge learning experience and I had many years of fun...
