Agree with the above, go with 10 ft doors, you have the room. Not sure how you have approved plans but don't know where the doors will go. Hope the framer is more competent than your architect if true.

I was looking at those same lamps, but decided to go with the maxlite housings and bulbs. I'm still working on the instal, but out of the gate I'm impressed and happy with the lamps, and I've only lit some of my 12ft ceilings. I went with fixtures and replaceable bulbs because I anticipate...

Well, I went with Conservationmart.com for the fixtures and the bulbs.. with my large quantity I was able to get the maxlite bulbs for $6.39, so I'm up to 344 lm/$, plus I was able to get the fixtures for under 13 dollars a piece, beating out all the other vendors. I even reached out to one of...

I went with 40 of the recommended Max-light fixtures and got a great deal and really fast shipping from Conservationmart.com and working on wiring/layout now. Basically I'm going to go around the perimeter and then up between each bay. Anyone have thoughts on how far to space lights on the...

I emailed them for a quote for 40 fixtures and 80 bulbs and they quoted me 12.93 for the fixtures and 6.89 for the bulbs... bringing me to just over a grand. ($1064.40). Free shipping specifies that it has to be to a commercial address so I'll have to have them shipped to a friends business...

Sounds like you have it all figured out all ready.

Do your own research, but consensus is don't bother with box store coatings. Plenty of info and threads on it throughout the pages here. The vendors like Armorpoxy and Legacy are sell specialty products made specifically for garage floors. They know their stuff and the results of the many...

Black Friday is coming up and so is end of year... any sales going on for flooring? Post yours here!

Good info. Sounds like you did everything right, disappointing that it didn't buff out better, but it sounds like you're generally happy with the finish. Definitely interested in your results with the wax. Keep us updated!

I've been researching this for my own project and haven't found anywhere that rents a high speed burnisher, everyone just has the floor maintainers/polishers. Did you find a real high speed burnisher, or perhaps the rental joint gave you a polisher and maybe that is why you couldn't see any...

I'm curious if a dye was used as well, because it does look amazing. I'm wondering if using a dye would help as some contrast/dimension to my project. After seeing this product on a few applications, I'm sold and will be buying some to do my floor. How was the spread rate on this? The...

Its going to be hard to get the trusses down from there! Oh well, I'm sure the on site engineering will be sufficient, hopefully they over engineer it putting on your extensions.

A set of boards sounds a lot easier than a 4 inch trip hazard at all times.

I'd make them fetch new trusses here... Last thing you'd want is to climb on the roof for some reason and have the scabbed in section fail. But looks like great progress so far. I'm having a hell of a time getting my project even started. Glad you still got the Gal and I get to see your...

I agree with the others as far as doing what you want. If the white is going to bug you every time you look at it, by all means change it out. If your out a grand, in the long term it will be money well spent on getting what you wanted. Then again, if its far enough away from the house, and...
