Good eye! you know it never occurred to me to update the height of the ceiling which is 12'8". Sorry it took for ever to answer this. I've been beyond busy in the garage!

I used 16 8' fixtures made by Tamlite (SLW4832A) .Consisting of 4 4' T-8 bulbs each.Philips Alto2 5000K in color. Each fixture is .97Amp. I'm very happy with them.

They are 10x10.

Hi AmickRacing, After much research both online and through talking with those that have used it was a no brainer.Like you said it is a budget buster.However it is a worthy investment that will pay a lifetime of returns for a one time investment.The cost to do this yourself is roughly a $1 per...

HI Re-volv, ( I'm sorry I don't wish to give my hiding away:) ) Yes it's been awhile.Having a pretty busy time.We are making ready for our son on the way due in 9 days and my 3 year old daughter is pretty excited as well.I'm struggling to get things wrapped-up before the big day comes.(we all...

Good morning Smolenski7, I'm in the process myself and after much research I'm waiting for my paint to come in (Rustoleum Epoxyshield solvent base) (etching 2/3rds done).To answer your question.I don't believe you will need to re-etch as you have removed some of the top of the concrete...

Good morning sbutz17, You have a great shop there.I have to admit I've actually read your posts in the past.I happened upon it during my lurking about.I'll admit I'm no builder but I'm tryin' like hell . When I looked into the ceiling I found that using the strapping 16" on center would give it...

Thanks Christian...Hardware, I agree with you It would look nice but the budget is seeing a crunch after the doors and operators were put it.I put a couple carriage lanterns and I'm waiting for the straps and handles to come in. My brother Joe and I worked on getting the sheetrock...

Hi 00si2, The cedar shingles I'm using are from Douglas Lumber,(I forget the brand name)they're R+R resquared and rebutted type B clears (no knots below 5 inches) they were $34.50 per bundle,I'm very happy with the quality of them thus far. I estimated 60 ($2070) bundles but I'm not sure If I...
