Want to point out that with landscape lighting price is not 1:1 correlated with quality. Others above are correct professionals/contractors use Kichler, Vista, FX, Focus, Hadco, and some other brands. But the model is: they buy the fixtures at ~50% off of retail and then charge retail per...

Tool tray/cut-out quality is great however tool quality itself is Harbor Freight-ish. Should be adequate for occasional/light work. No, it did not say delivered prior to delivery. The only way I got a real response and action from NewAge was by using social media. I had e-mailed them several...

Got 'em today. 166 days from order to delivery. Seems like I got everything and nothing is damaged - that I've seen thus far. Unfortunately installing them was my winter project and winter is long gone. So, till next year.. I paid $199 for the "white glove" which was well worth it as the...

I ordered 157 days ago and still have not received anything from NewAge. Just a heads up for people on the current timeline.

Are you still waiting? I ordered in November (directly from NewAge) and delivery was estimated February 10-16th 2021. As of today, I've heard nothing and received no communication since the single e-mail I got after placing the order. I've been busy with other stuff so my first follow-up was...

Due to other commitments I haven't been able to make as much progress over the winter as I hoped. I did get the ceiling painted white, the floor coated, and bought a new to me truck. In the next couple weeks hope to finish ripping out the existing insulation. I then have a bunch of...

It takes good restraint to renovate/build new in an established neighborhood where homes have been added on to over time so if that's the look you're going for I think it's well done. I used to live outside of DC and when the neighborhood got "hot" people would come in and tear down the...

Going to try electric this year. Plan to get an Ego Z6 when it's available. In the late spring grass is best cut every 5 days around here so it will be nice to be able to cut in the morning or late without disturbing anyone. At least that's the plan.

My garage previously had 8ft. high sheets of pegboard (walls are 9ft + stem wall) which I removed. To hang the 8ft sheets someone installed blocking in the walls at the 8ft point (See picture). The blocking looks like it was installed in a real hurry and is installed up to 1/2 in. proud from...

"This item is not available in any stores within 100 miles of #####" "Out of stock online" :dunno:

I have my detached garage walls back to the studs, 2X4 exterior walls, I want to insulate, hang drywall, then add cabinets. Plan is to insulate with R-15 ROXUL/mineral wool These are unfaced and an interior vapor barrier is required. I am in the mid Atlantic with hot humid summers, it seems a...

Sounds like a good plan minus black. Paint it white.

Looks like the ship arrived, all the sets seem to be back in stock. Everything was sold out a week or two ago.

Yeah, its like 2-3K per heating season to run 10KW of heat 100% 24x7. In Ohio probably 30% are degree days so that's an absolute worst case reality is probably 1-1.5K for the season. Or at least 10-12k for a quality split system with propane and 1-2K add'l for a buried tank. Probably 10 yrs+...

My long term plan is geothermal for both the house + garage. My short term plan is a 50amp breaker to NEMA 14-50P installed in good proximity to one of the parking spaces. I'm going to use a 10kw portable salamander heater over the winter (2-3hrs a night a few times a week) while working on...
