I was thinking of going with LED

I don't like fluorescent lights.

So, are you saying incorrect because it would take 40 to meet lighting needs? And is this no matter what kind of bulb I select? Is 50fc ideal?

Sorry bout that. I have 9ft ceilings and I went with these lights from Lowes: http://tinyurl.com/q8qbqnu

I'm getting ready to install recessed lighting in my garage and my initial layout plan is not going to work as it will land on the truss supports. So my garage is 261" deep x 257" wide and my original plan was to do 4 rows of 4 lights. My new idea is to center the lights on the trusses and go to...

Since we are discussing Fires have those with attached garages insured they had a complete fire break to the rest of the house? And has anyone thought of adding a sprinkler system? I have added a smoke detector from my alarm system in the garage, but wanna be as safe as possible since I have an...

I live in the country and went with Vivint. Not sure if they area available in Georgia. We like it mostly because of the fire alarms, but also because we can check if we locked the doors before we left. Eventually when the kids get older we will add the camera system.

Making a living and following your dreams are not mutually exclusive. With proper planning they can happen together. For example out here in Wyoming if you can get your pipe welding certification and have a truck with a welder in the back, there are tons of opportunities no matter your age. To...

Anyone have any luck with a dually for a plow truck? It's almost 2 miles to paved roads from my house and a blower or tractor could take a bit to clear a path. Here she is:

Thanks again for all the info. Who new it would be this hard to get a few more cfms? :badteeth:

@ Fred - Thanks so much for the info. The numbers seemed a little off, but I couldn't find a reliable source and why I came here to ask. For the price I think you are correct that upgrading to the PK6060V is the best option and should be a huge improvement over my PK5020VP. If you don't mind me...

That is why I was hoping someone on GJ could help that is a little smart on compressors than I am.

I looked and if the websites I found are correct here is the rpms for each: PK6060V Pump Rpms: 1450 Motor Rpms: 3450 PK5020VP Pump Rpms: 1100 Motor Rpms: 3450

I have a Puma PK5020VP that is a 2-HP and rated for 5 cfm @ 90 psi. After some research it looks like the PUMA PK6060V which is a 3-HP and rated for 12 cfm @ 90 psi has the same pump. So, the question is could I swap the 2-HP motor for the 3-HP motor and move up to 12 cfm @ 90 psi? Thanks.

When I had an alarm system installed in my house (mostly for the smoke detectors), I had them install a motion sensor and smoke detector in my garage. Then I had it configured so it is active in both the Home and Away modes.
