Southern Indiana here. 40x60x14 vaulted ceiling. 2” insulation under slab, spray foamed walls, blown in sinsulation above ceiling. Installed a navien ncb-180e condensing boiler with two zones. Thought that I would hardly use any propane so I had the largest propane tank you can install...

Thanks for the replies. I moved the rock the best I could at this point. Ground is so wet the backhoe would just make a huge mess. As a temporary band aid until ground dries up a little I dug a few ditches away from the building to the lower areas. Just trying to get the inside dry so I can...

I am trying to get the water away from in front of my building and could use some help on the right drain for my situation. Initial instinct would say a trench drain but I have not seen them in a gravel driveway. Would a simple box drain with metal grate stay put or a French drain handle it...

Thanks for the replies. I am all for saving money with fewer fixtures, but I also don’t want to do it twice. I appreciate everyone’s help, including led lighting. Can’t have to many options, just know some are better than others! Thanks! When I get to that point I’ll post some pics, or start...

Good news is poles are in the ground! I emailed LED lighting wholesale about getting these http://www.ledlightingwholesaleinc.com/EHB2-13-p/ehb2-110.htm?CartID=1 , thinking I would need 16 of them. They cam back with these http://www.ledlightingwholesaleinc.com/ZY-H3-165W-p/zy-h3-165w.htm and...

Awesome wood shop you have! Looks really good. Any issues with the lights flush with the ceiling instead of parallel to the floor?

Where did you end up renting that burnisher from? Local rental place only has a 17” sander.

Definitely something to be proud of!

Thanks for the suggestion. Depending on what the wood looks like when up, my first thought would be water based poly. Something to seal it up but still look like wood

Thanks for chiming in PS. That’s what I’ll do. Hopefully we will get started in 3-4 weeks.

Looks good! Where did you get them?

The attached thumbnail is what I am going by. It has 5 rows of four lights in a 56’ building. I plan to just space them accordingly for my 60’, maybe without the fifth row.

I am having a 40x60x14 pole barn with scissor trusses (14’ sidewall 17’ in the middle) built in a few weeks. I am planning to use the aleo slb2-95 and a lighting plan that has already been recommended. However, my plans is to have an 18’x40’x9’ room for “dirty” stuff and a wood shop. If I drop...

What lights did you end up going with? Where did you get them?

Found and followed on YouTube. Building looks great! In the same boat, 50k doesn’t go far when you start finishing a good size building!
