    The Best Light Fixture Ever!

    FYI... www.ledlightingwholesaleinc.com has the Maxlite LSS2XT8USE4803 on sale for $12.50 each, but they charge for shipping and overweight. I contacted www.shineretrofits.com and they priced matched the $12.50 AND free shipping. Saved me $70 on 20 units!

    New House Help Needed- radiant is too much $$$ for garage

    So I'm building a 2,000 sq. ft. garage with my new house (3 car but double deep). It has been my dream to have a garage like this. I plan on occasionally working on my cars in the winter and I want to take the edge off the cold. We are doing radiant heat in the house, but adding it to the...

    Barrett Jackson vendor told me scissor lifts are too dangerous

    So I went to the Barrett Jackson action in Scottsdale this weekend for the first time. WOW! What a fun time. While I didn't buy a car, I was interested in a few vendors selling lifts. Most were trying to sell their 4 post lifts, but I have been planning an in-ground lift for our new garage...

    Best Bang for the Buck? - new construction

    Are you referring to learning about the foam insulation? I asked #1 contractor about his bid. It does include slap insulation (code requires it) and it surpasses the R value requirement. So the question comes down to this...do I want to spend $10k extra for radiant in the garage verse...

    Best Bang for the Buck? - new construction

    I'm asking for the foam insulation price. Another contractor came in at $31,600, but didn't include hot water, mesh, glycol, or venting. First bid is looking pretty good! Also, #2 has fewer zones. Radiant heating base bid: Supplemental heat (KS 2004 toe space heater) Total radiant...

    Best Bang for the Buck? - new construction

    First, thank you ALL very much. I am using this forum to base my decision on what to do! I got the line item quote from one of the contractors. $33,900 for the house and add $9,245.00 for just the garage. That is NOT a stand-alone system, but rather a larger boiler and labor/materials for...

    Best Bang for the Buck? - new construction

    The house isn't crazy big...4850 sg ft. I just wanted a big garage!:rocker: I will talk to our builder about the foam under slab. I'm waiting on quotes, but the garage alone would cost about $15k for radiant on floor. A ceiling torpedo would be about $800 and a forced air is another $400 or...

    Best Bang for the Buck? - new construction

    More info: I live near Park City, Utah at around 7k ft. in elevation! It gets cold here. I plan on using the heat 24/7 during the Winter months of Nov - April. When I work on stuff in the garage, I will likely not be lying on the floor. I will have a car lift, so I will be standing most of...

    Best Bang for the Buck? - new construction

    Hey everyone. I've been reading through posts and I see lots of info, but nothing quite like what I have going on. So, I am building a new house with a 2,000 sq. ft. garage. I'm VERY excited to have so much space! I will store a couple classic cars and have a lift for working on the cars, as...

    In-floor Scissor Lift Install

    I have been reading this post for awhile now and I'm getting close to buying the lift from overseas. However, the link I found early in the thread is not working. Is this the same link as the OP? Thank you...

    Thanks, I think. What kind of details would you like? The lift will be on the far side of the garage and storage above the rest of the garage. This is our first home build, so feedback is helpful!

    Light Fixture Layout Collections

    Hi there. I could use some help with my garage. You'll see the lift and workbench area, which will have higher ceiling clearance and the rest of the space will be 10' ceilings. The cool part about this garage (besides the size!), is that the three cars parked next to each other will be the...
