Mine are fantastic! Great light output for my garage and laundry room. I went with them only because they are so easy to just clip right in. It seems silly to buy a ballast to run led bulbs that don't need a ballast, so if it comes down to buying a new ballast just to run led bulbs you are...

Well this was a few months ago now, but I never got around to posting it, sorry! I bought the black tool cart at HF on sale. This thing is great!!! I also added my own super-industrial electrical box and cord to the side and fabbed some little cord retainer brckets More to come...

Yeah I absolutely love that region. It's just so cool, laid back, and refreshing. 75 Mits? Wow. Classic Japanese cars are very cool and very rare, that was a time before they were massively popupar and plentiful here in the US. Good find! I made them stick out purely for convenience, and to...

I agree on the evap-cooler subject. They are great when its dry here, but the humidity spikes around early July and they become ineffective. Also, humidity in the proximity of your precious tools that can rust isn't a good idea either. The mini-split systems have some pretty insane EER...

+1. This is what I do too. It's like taking a hot hunk of steel from a furnace and putting it in the freezer. All that stored energy has to flow out of the garage through the A/C in the form of heat. Best to let the car cool outside and bring it in after dark if you want to.

Thanks Jack!

Wow! Really nice build. I'm jealous. I often wonder if I would have been better off with a scratch build than the fixer-upper I have now. Would you do the scratch build process all over again?

Hi, I was wondering if a moderator could change the title of my garage build thread? Here is the link: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4560921 The title I would like is: The 10-Cylinder Garage - 25x31 Overhaul in AZ Thanks!

Re: 25x31 Overhaul in AZ Well, it's been a while. I haven't made as much progress as I would like, but then again my standards are impossibly high. Just not enough hours in the day I guess. Since February I have laid almost all of the tile, maybe 15 tiles left now. I have finished off the...

In AZ too here. Recently overhauled my garage, R-38 roof(plus 1" polyiso foam roof with white reflective elastomeric coating) and R-18 walls, sealed up nice and tight. Recently insulated the garage door too with some polystyrene panels, estimated about R-5 for the whole assembly. I have a 10k...

Wow! Over in Tempe here, looking great! I'm jealous, that's some fine work you are doing there. Nothing like a nice new correctly built structure! Sorry about your luck on the flip. Our house was flipped and has the same paint color and kitchen! Coincidence????

I love the color scheme. Very cool and different. Your attention to detail makes it all work. I second the idea for some nice bright LED lighting under the cabinet.

Wow this looks really neat. I love your idea for the wall system. The biggest advantage I see is being able to access the inside of the wall later on if you want to reconfigure electrical etc. Cool!

Re: 25x31 Overhaul in AZ Not much to report at the moment. Just started laying tile yesterday. At this rate I should be done in about 40 hours :shocking::shocking::shocking: I could never make a living as a tile guy that's for sure. Major respect to anyone who does it for a living! There were...

Wow, you are lucky to have such a nice claw space ready to go! I love that lab bench, I am going to have to hunt one down for sure!
