I am preparing for a new cement floor. I have had many suggestions on where to locate them. The shop is 30 x 44 wide . I have 2 12 foot doors. I was going to install a drain in each bay about 10 feet in. I will have about an inch fall from back wall to the outside world. So one drain in the...

I was wondering if anyone has tried The Barrier™ under their slabs. I will not even consider foil after reading up on the findings. thanks http://www.thebarrier.com/radiant-floor-insulation.php

I think I may have talked myself out of radiant floor heat. The way I plan on using the shop will probably be on short notice and maybe a week or 2 a month. From what I have read it would take to long to get the temperature up on short notice. I have seen some post where some people are heating...

sorry, i forgot this in my earlier post.....has anyone tried these lights out? about $175 each I can't imagine they could be all that

Interested to hear about what direction you ran your florescent lights and why...thanks

I have tried several of the lighting programs found on the forums. The only thing I have been able to accomplish is getting frustrated. I really don't understand some of values they are looking for. I have talked with Lithonia and decided to use there 4 foot Fluorescent Z2 lights.They referred...

planning for floor drains......even though I may never need them I have decided to install 2 floor drains in my 44 x 30 garage. What would be a reasonable size pipe to run under the slab? Also, can I tie them together or run as 2 singles?

I found this product and was wondering if anyone has tried it. You press it in your pour and pull the top section off for a nice clean line. http://www.wrmeadows.com/wrm00012.htm

This has got to have happened to others as well. Anyone ever been welding, cutting, grinding and smelled some thing burning? Yep, you guessed it. My shirt or pants or socks. Flannel really burns well by the way. It's a serious subject but others may learn from our past experiences.

I saw something in a shop that was interesting a while back. Not that it matters, but it was on a farm and they buried a piece of heavy duty chain in the concrete before it hardened. They now have a handy anchor if you will. Might be worth considering. I think I might do something similar with...

I found a place that has about 300 hundred of these lights about 2 years old for $20 each....what do you think? Metalux 3-Lamp 2' x 4' Static Lensed Troffer Electronic Ballast, T8

I am getting ready to put a ceiling in my 44 x 30 pole barn. I want to use the 1/2 " 4 x 8 foam sheets with foil on both sides. Has anyone ever painted theirs? I am just exploring my options. I am also going to start my lighting. After reading the posts I decided to go with the 4 ft T-8's. If I...

anyone ever use this product? sounds interesting http://www.instadrivecoatings.com/

I have been reading a lot of the posts on floor heating. There was some talk of 4 x 8 wire mesh panels to mount the pex to. I would prefer to have my tubing centered in my pour rather than down on the foam board. Why couldn't I just mount the pex to rebar being used for the floor?

I can't believe I didn't find this site before this. I am getting ready to do a floor and lighting in my pole barn. I am pretty sure I am going to use radiant floor heating as well. There is so much info on the site it great. Thanks for having me. home state Pennsylvania
