Ya after going through some stuff afterwards I didn't realize T8's have the same socket as the T12's. Had I known that I would have checked out swapping to T8's but I didn't really know when I was buying the ballasts... live and learn. I'll verify the wiring again... but I'm thinking more and...

I have four 4-bulb recessed lighting in our finished basement. These use the 48" T12 bulbs. Two ballasts each. Over the past year sometimes I will get one or two fail to turn on, sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. Typically have that "hum" usual with older ballasts. These have original...

AC should be coming next year. I have to cut into the walls for a window so it a bit of labor to get a decent AC unit in there... however I will be doing that eventually. Not sure it will help too much because I only work in there on weekends typically and would not leave it on for most of the...

Ya I'm going to keep them on constantly for the time being, especially until I can get it all cleaned up. Picked up a big dehumidifier today and will keep that running too. I don't have any eaves and the ceiling is buttoned up w/ insulation. The mold I'm seeing is in no spots higher than a few...

Thanks for the suggestion, I may try this stuff out too. I see my local HD carries it.

So spray bottle, lightly spray, and then just wipe off? Judging by the consistency of it I would bet it should come off pretty easily. I'm picking up a dehumidifier today and will also keep the overhead ceiling fans on.

That's the plan but it may not happen until next year. Done a lot of work on the garage in the past year and had to catch up on the projects "in" the garage if ya know what I mean :beer:

Something like this? http://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-70-Pint-Dehumidifier-ADEL70LR/203661857#.Ud9iQm1CodU I'll do some searching around on here to find the best way to clean it all up.

Pics: Some of this is dust but the spots I think are the same stuff:

40'x20' detached garage. Insulated walls (R13) and insulated ceiling (R30), Racedeck on the floors. We've been getting a ton of rain, pretty much every day for over a week. On one side of my garage (on of the 40' walls) there is what appears to be mold forming on the woods studs, from the...

I take it there is nothing around the perimeter like shelves or cabinets that can weight it down to keep it from moving. As in, is it just the flooring with nothing else on top of it over than the car?

I know the feeling, I had to clean for almost a whole day to get pics I thought were worth posting online! Look forward to the final results!

I have had moments where I've built static after installing Racedeck that I had not noticed before. I only noticed it this winter... I haven't really had any static issues for the past couple months once it warmed up... not sure if its related. Or if using a layer of landscape felt under my RD...

Agree, do not change any settings (clock, radio, etc) unless it was part of the work. Changing the seat position is totally understandable, although bonus points if they change it back close to where it was before.

Anyone have any experience with the weight-distributing hitch, PN 67649? Gets good reviews online, I have a buddy who recommended this one but I'd like to get more input if anyone has any experience. Searched the PN here but got no results.

I find myself saying this more and more lately. I'm slowly turning into my DAD :lol_hitti I'll probably buy them if I see them at my local HD :o

I did a layer of synthetic landscape felt when I did mine. It doesn't really add too much cost and was easy to put down before laying the tiles. I think it was about $80 to do 900+ sq ft of the landscape felt.

Low Profile Floor Jack with Rapid Pump®, 2.5 Ton Heavy Duty Steel Item # 68049 Link PASS I've been using cheap basic jacks for as long as I can remember. Got this and for $70 (w/ coupon) was really impressed. For once I don't have to use anything under the jack on my Racedeck because the...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? This is what I've been doing over my Christmas/New Years time off Installed a lightweight front bumper support... Before: After: Pulled the stock rear bumper support. Also pulled the stock gas tank to prep for the new 8-gal fuel cell: Before...

I recently had a Craftsman USA extension get damaged so I returned it, the store only had a China equivalent (same PN, 44264). It was ok but the "Craftsman" stamping was clearly not straight. Function wise it was ok. However I was a little displeased my USA made tool was not being replaced with...
