Lots of Canadian buyers here - I did mine last year and had no issues dealing with RD across border and shipping was ez. Received immeasurably better pre sale support than the main alternative.

Hi, Per AppleHedg’s question, we love the floor. The clicking has subsided and the fit is perfect. My kids and I all work out in the garage and in Covid when possible, we sit with the doors open in our 6-10ft apart chairs when catching up with relatives (back in November when that was more...

5G isn't a scam ;-).. That said, it won't make a lot of difference for residential. Outside of really dense areas where mmWave will be used and in perfect conditions where your speeds will be much better than "4G", most 5G will deliver relatively similar experiences for res users though maybe...

Thanks all.. Great ideas throughout (some of which I've tried to no avail). I have all LED retrofit bulbs which work in the 60 or other sockets. I'm going to swap the socket and see if it helps! Cheers, Pete

I did my garage in RD a couple months back and love it. (https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465642) My neighbor apparently did too and asked me if he could hide his wife's new '21 SRT in my garage for an xmas surprise. The surprise was fairly epic and the SRT looked awesome...

Thanks Shiftless.. I am really at a loss. Power is there which suggests everything is fine, but no bulb will light and I've tried several, all of which light if I move a socket down the chain. P

Hi, Curious if anyone has any ideas on this one. I have a string of 5 MR16's and 4 of them light, the 5th however will not. I've tried a number of bulbs with it to no avail. Note, it did light some time ago but has simples stopped working. However, there is 12V's on the bulb connector -...

Similar to others above, have a basement prone to leaks due to high water table and being near a very big lake. When we purchased the house we removed the sump hole with its single stick pump and replaced it with a deeper basin, two pumps the second of which drains via a different egress and is...

Great info all and thanks! I will confirm the wire gauge for sure. Point on 2-pole 20A getting me 20A @ 240 is well taken also. I will go the the road of new plug and aim for a 20A heater and forgo the Tesla plan for now ;-). Neighbor with one saw my outlet and suggested it was the right one...

Hi All, The last owner of my home has what appears to be a 50A receptacle I expect for an arc welder in the garage. I figured out it's wired to a 2 pole 20A GFCI on the panel (I _think_ these can support 50A when ganged) I am going to check the wire gauges for safety. I don't weld, but would...

Awesome! Love the red border.

Thanks all. Wish I had some better before pics! The doors tell the story though as they are the remaining items to change - it was all old, green and nasty. Just got an update and I'll have the new ones Dec 1 which is great news. Kids are keen for some steps too. Now I need to figure out...

Hi, I'm in Canada just west of Toronto (Burlington). I think it took just under two weeks as a couple tiles were back-ordered about a week and shipping took probably the second week. I did intercept the pallet on Friday at the shipping dock to be able to have the tiles for the weekend. I...

I should add the colors since trying to figure them out from pictures was a pet peeve of mine, I used Graphite Diamond around the perimeter and in front of the cabinets at the back, and Free Flow in alloy with a single tile black border. So far the Diamond is a tad "clicky" as my floor...

Big thanks to all here who have shared details on similar projects as I worked through the process of trying to find the right flooring solution for my 30 year old garage floor. Spent countless hours here reviewing projects and pictures and learning about the options. Really an invaluable...
