A couple of questions. 1) Do you have ceiling access? If so, you can run wiring properly to 'old work' boxes for the lighting layout desired. If not, you'll have conduits running box to box for the lighting layout. 2) Where's the panel? I'm guessing you'll want at a minimum a 20a for outlets...

I'm guessing that was in reference to PVC tiles. An unglazed porcelain tile would probably only show a bit of soot.

A mild soap and water (hand only!) wash isn't harmful (e.g. a mild detergent like 'dawn'). The key is to get the water driven off afterwards (i.e. reheat to >212*). I'll then spray some 'PAM' on it while hot and wipe out.

For those that asked about seasoning, I'll add what works for me. 1) Get the CI cleaned to bare metal (I usually use electroylisis) 2) preheat an oven to 250 3) Do a final wash with water (sometimes a bit of vinegar to help cut any flash oxidation) 4) Put the dry CI into the oven (no oil yet)...

VCT can have issues with jack stands, but porcelin tile is harder than concrete if properly installed

If the existing sub is only for the mudroom, I'd remove _everything_ back to the main, run your new (properly sized) wire in conduit all the way from the main to the new panel in the mudroom.

Have you considered tiling it instead? Half tiles all around would make a nice waterproof basing.

You sure that isn't VAT? (Vinyl Asbestos Tile)

If you are looking at new as well, I could recommend this: http://www.portercable.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=24036 I got one about a year ago on a special for <$100 and it's been performing nicely.

I was referring to the "samples" having mis-aligned sockets, wiring haphazardly placed, etc

2many, try this one ... |.| vs. -.- where the . is a person blocking a source and the | and/or - are 4' flourescents.

all I can think of is "lotsa assembly still required"

Curious how high you're up hillside? That pic almost looks like it near the top of Flattop ...

Post a pic of your foundry. I'm hoping to one put together this spring. Also, what are you using for source material?

Do that ... on the adjoining lot, put your new building. Since it's a seperate lot your "garage" could qualify for a habitable structure, e.g. a small house/apartment with a large garage . The existing non-compliant structures can't be simply torn down and rebuilt non-compliant (at least not in...

I swear that it is planned that way ... A "set" of 6 with 3 holes is $20, each hole is $15 ...

Re: Fill up a too box for $50. Go. A couple of stocking stuffer ideas too ... #1) A pair of safety glasses and an eye patch #2) Some ear plugs and an old hearing aid Each "stocking stuffer" could be put together for next to nothing. Simply state "one you wear for an hour or two, thw other...

A pic of my island over a "floating floor" ... I used some 3/4" ply to make a base that the brick sits on. it's back about 1/2" from the brick face so the floor slipped under and has space to "float". No trimming out around brick was needed :thumbup:
