    Skylight Flashing

    Those shingles look like their cut too tight to the edges of the skylight too. Crickets are great, or a backpan to shoot water one way, most shinglers can't make them, or make custom flashing period. Make it watertight by design.

    LED panels in garage.

    I've installed these suspended in open ceilings. The tabs on the back have holes, I hung them from jack chain and dropped my bx down the chain from the deck. Not my design. I've also hung from aircraft cable

    How much movement is allowable in your stone base?

    Clear gravel like that won't lock together. Doesn't need too that's why they use it. 3/4 crusher run packs tight with a plate but its more work. That's why they use clear, less work. Is the subgrade virgin & dry?

    39$/sq ft for concrete slab!!!

    60 cents a sq ft. Yep guys up here want $2-5sq ft to finish concrete, depending on the project And that's cash. Gotta stop comparing your US prices to prices up here. my 1 car house garage is 12x26 and I got quotes from $800-$2000 to pour/finish. I just did it with my brother in law.

    39$/sq ft for concrete slab!!!

    That work is seasonal up there too. $18k. It's a lot of work, equipment, and labour. Plus they're doing the job probably turn key. Get a couple other quotes, no one on here can give you a quote unless they're a local concrete contractor and do a site visit. Minimum wage here is $14, and...

    Installing a Standing Seam Metal Roof

    Anyone ever seen anything done in corten? Not the material for someone who is scared of paint fade or rust. SS double lock roofing should not have any exposed fasteners, or rely on caulking. It should be water right by design. Installation methods are everything.

    Rustoleum Epoxy Floor Kit Issue

    The epoxysheild solvent clear does a great job giving a uniform appearance. Just be very sure you don't miss any spots, and try to roll it on generously. Also the kits don't seem to yeild as much sq footage as listed.

    Yeah its 26ga double mechanical, all hand seamed using seamers but other areas were seamed using hand tools. Coil came from Havelock metals, they show up with the equipment and roll the panels all at once on site. Its expensive equipment from what I understand. The roof took 9 months due to...

    Installing a Standing Seam Metal Roof

    A lot of double lock mechanical is 26ga, 24ga is too hard to work to double lock in detail areas This is a double locked dormer/ridge. 24ga wouldn't be doable as the folds get too thick with all the layers. Also a chimney and cap built from scratch. Actually all the parts were from scratch on...

    Wiring for dummies question: all neutrals the same?

    No you cannot. Same breaker, same circuit still no. Neutral needs to be in the same cable/conduit controlling the device which your switching.
