I wouldn't say that it is overly loud. Maybe I was expecting more of a reduction in sound like when you walk into a room lined with acoustical sound absorbers. There are certain spots in the building where you can clap your hands and hear just a short reverb.

I put up some 12 volt LED soffit lights also (shown before shutters installed).

Contractor installed interior when it was too muddy to work elsewhere! I've even been cleaning dirt/mud off of the ceiling.

Total of 96 4" T8 tubes. A few thoughts: Scissor lift, although a little expensive to rent, sure is better than scaffolding. I'm dreading the process of getting all of the dirt/mud off of floor. If I decide to grind or shot peen the floor, is it necessary to get it very clean before hand...

Building as it stands plus gutters, shutters, 3 insulated chi doors, openers on the large doors, and double bubble insulation on roof and batting insulation for the rest, plus concrete and we are somewhere around $35k. I've got about $10k more in dirtwork. About another 6k more if I want to...

On the night before the concrete pour, I decided on a 6" slab rather than 4". I also had Wirand Steel fibers added to the concrete. A lot of folk around here will try to talk you into fiberglass only, but I don't put a lot of stock into it. Rebar or metal grid may have been just as good or...

Some more progress pictures. I still have lots left to go. Water, electrical, gutters, shutters to name a few. We had one hiccup in the construction. I asked for double bubble insulation on the whole building and then also to have "book shelving" interior just in case I ever wanted to put in...

Hi all! I thought I would start a thread detailing my garage build. Although I picked the flattest section of my back yard (didn't want it to be too close to the house), it took 17 tri-axle dump truck loads of dirt and 110 tons of gravel to get a level pad and appropriate slope. A little...

Signed up with PhotoBucket so I can start posting pictures as needed. The large one throw 800 lumens and is converted to accept 2 rechargeable batteries instead of 6 CR123 batteries.

cyato, That Haiku is sweet!

I'll take one too as long as shipping turns out as planned. Assuming you will be accepting PayPal?

I have to agree that the headlamps are the way to go if you are using it while needing to use both hands. Of the brands mentioned, I'll have to say that the Surefire is tops and the Fenix is right there with them.

I have a few more around the house, but these were handy to photo. Made in USA - Surefire E1 Backup (smallest) Surefire LX2 Surefire M6LT (largest) Surefire My only mods are to the M6 which allow me to use 2- 18650 rechargeable batteries rather than 6 - cr123 batteries. I have one Fenix...

:thumbup: I've used a lot of different Nitrile gloves and have to agree on the K-C Purple Nitrile.
