Yes that was the FIRST attempt. It got completely all ground off, just for the second idiot to also do things incorrectly .

On a side note, here is the level of competency I was so fortunate enough to experience from the first c/:;?!&@() that attempted to claim they were capable of installing epoxy.

Yes you can feel a difference but ever so lightly. I had the sales rep look at floor and his recommendation is to sand floor with 80-100 screens and reapply a polyurethane or polyespartic. He's fairly confident that the poly 100 was not mixed correctly, and is frozen in a 95% cure state versus...

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of this situation I have with an epoxy floor ? The floor has az polymer e100 tinted primer then e400 tinted epoxy the p100 polyurethane tinted top coat. Basically whenever anything is parked for more than a couple hours this is what is...

Yes that's how Perka did it, I bought only frames/trusses from them and we added ends and perlins ourselves. They had all clips welded on top and bottom of trusses to attach perlins. I would definetly use them again due to the fact I don't know of many other buildings that would allow me to have...

Here is an old pic I found of my Perka going up. I opted for straight sidewalks because I'm finishing inside off and didn't want any trusses exposed. Basically the advantages of a pole barn but with cathedral ceiling...

I setup a timer hooked to a solenoid that turns on every 5 min and stays on for 1 min and then i hooked sprinklers to it. When I poured my concrete i setup the sprinklers and left in alone for 45 days. It was wet for 45 days straight and so far so good. Also whats underneath is important. Around...

The 4' t8 bulbs im looking at are 2325 lumens per bulb 84 cri and 6500k. so 2325x4 =9300 x 40 =372000 lumens now its half of what you were at? Im totally confused now?

yeah a buddy of mine and and I both hung onto it while I opened it and it didnt make one bit of difference.

finally got a video of my shop door I made.

I am now in the stage of planning out my lighting for my shop 32x60 with 12' 6" sidewall that cathedrals up to 18 plus at peak. I was planning on using 40 8foot 4 bulb t8 fixtures with 6500k daylight deluxe bulbs. Is there an easy way to calculate the footcandles I can expect from this? they...
