Just completed my third garage floor coating but wanted to post about the great experience working with the product and Bert from Alpha Garage. I have used kits from other vendors but this one stands out and in my opinion on top. All of my coatings have gone on new garage builds. slabs were 6...

I'm a fixture expert and that fixture cannot be shorten below the ring mount. you can shorten the chain above the ring only and bring it tight up to the ceiling. above a dining table a fixture can hang low pending when sitting across from someone you can still see there face. The drop tube is...

Super cool garage that's a killer entry.

My fingers are crossed that something bigger and better comes up as I will seriously miss my build. I wasnt very shocked at the performance but i did expect a bit better. Next build I will perhaps combo between mini split and natural gas heat. Gas I believe is illegal in a garage in NY oh well.

my garage is a new build and a built it myself. temps in my area have been 40deg consistently and the humidity fluctuates. my slabs not insulated but it is 9 inches thick. i have insulated doors and no windows at all. the heat does travel upwards of course the temps at my 8ft platform are...

yes i start the unit 30 mins before I walk over and that helps with the cold sting. i also do shut off when im not on. moot point for me a dream garage I solo built over 3 years and i sold it in one day. irony.

i have r20 walls and a sloped ceiling starts at r20 and tapers up to r40.

I have a 3rd gen mr cool 18k unit in a 21x24 garage with 12 foot ceilings. My unit absolutely struggles and runs at turbo mode which is full tilt. takes over an hour to get a 40 degree temp up to 60 degrees. my garage is new and insulated with an insulated door. my unit also defrosts typically...

I personally would find another HVAC company immediately. I worked in the field and my employers rates for residential in NYC were never that high. You have a contract with them I would like to assume they could work out a tighter rate for labor not covered under the contract. Then there is the...

i purchased 1 pioneer unit and 2 mr cool units. the mr cool units are amazing and cheap. my garage is 21x23 and i use an 18k btu in hot nyc summers. you can order direct from home depot and get the unit on sale for around $720 bucks. the unit comes with a 15 foot line set. if you need a longer...

I have epoxy flooring from a forum vendor. The product is durable and easy to clean. My issue is the scratches stand out, its yellowed out in less than 2 years, and i cant find screws due to the flakes. I plan on purchasing tiles to do some testing. I plan on putting some near my bench/engine...

Appreciate the info and happy holidays everyone. I have a good connection at SW so I am going to pay them a visit and pick a high quality paint. Sheen undetermined atm but I will probably go mid range. Backsplash is a great idea ill be putting some tile at the backs of my workstations.

i personally spring for copper but nothing wrong with your setup. regarding the square d panel make sure to use the QO series. The homeline series is junk.

From what I gather exterior paint has additives that make it unsafe for use indoors. I thought of it and then read about it and scratched it off my list. In regards to my work things sometimes slip, drop, fall, and this does not include me harpooning a 2x4 across the garage lol. I have steel...

I just finished priming my all new drywall. I am stuck on paint. I do alot of wrenching and millwork. I am looking for some very durable paint. I have been referred to pre cat epoxy and enamels as the way to go for durability. I have read both good and bad on those products. Looking for some...
