Question regarding hand grinding... I don't think hand grinding would be practical in my garage where I have high and low areas that are more than an inch different. Meaning I'll need to fill or grind an inch of these spots to get a level floor. I have a low area that is about 8 square feet and...

Sorry to hijack but I have a warped floor with some low "ponds" and some high "humps" in my 2-car garage. I plan to grind down the high spots but would like to fill the low spots to bring it up as much as an inch to get the entire floor flat and level. Let's say I'm going to need a 1-2 cubic...

A good friend of mine, Jon Harrison, owns his own business doing all kinds of home projects. He and I knocked out my garage door installation. I also had high lift conversions on both of my doors. My project scope "shifted" during install as we had to replace all the framing around my doors...

That's a great space, Dudley! Checking in from Vienna... I have a 20x21 2-car space that I have been renovating for about 4 years. LOL. I'd be interested in attending a meet but still a ways away from being able to host something. Too many projects and not enough time in the day.

I'm also glad to have found this thread. I had been planning to do something similar. White on top, light grey on bottom and a Ford Ruby Red stripe (started a new thread before I found this one). I have one concrete block wall that isn't getting sheetrocked so I think I'm going to be stuck...

Thanks for the feedback, gang. Yeah, I'm talking about top half in white, bottom half in gray and a ~6 inch stripe separating them in red. I'm not THAT fancy. I'm repainting the cabinets that I took out of my kitchen and putting them in for storage and workbenches along the walls. It's just a...

I'm getting ready to put up the walls in my garage to hopefully wrap up a long project. I'm putting up all new drywall and planning to paint the top half of the walls white and the bottom half gray. I was thinking of doing a red stripe in between to match Ford's Ruby Red Metallic for my...

I actually have this dewalt rechargeable light. I used it two or three times and then it died. I got it basically free in a kit I bought. I haven't had time to take it to a repair center. I liked it while it was working. It shares batteries with my drill and impact.

Just unpacked my Knucklehead light. Holy ****, This thing is bright! AND, I didn't even charge it yet. Seems very sturdy and well made so far.

Looking to replace my Craftsman fluro tube light that finally died. I'd like to get one on a cord reel and like the idea of getting something made in the US. Mid State doesn't appear to sell online. Does anyone know where to buy these? I sent them an email through their web form several days...

Navin, take a look at my design layout on post #1. The only changes I made to the lighting were to move the two fixtures near the interior door (lower right corner of drawing) together. I decided to skip the fancy fixtures. I'm going to put the two 4' fixtures down the middle on the 3-way...

Roger that. Is the reason for (1) because you don't want two wires under one screw?

Do I need to prep the wires running out of the ceiling if the connections are all being handled inside the (4 ft twin tube) fluorescent fixture's raceways?

A few more clarifications... 1. I have an outlet at the end of the run (like above), so just one 12/2 coming in. Do I need pigtails for all three or just for the bare ground? If just the ground, why? Why not consistent rules across all three wires? 2. I have a pair of duplex outlets in one quad...

Got it. Thanks!
