This. You can even get direct-replacement LED bulbs. Then you could get away with a very small and common (~1-2 amp/12VDC) transformer.

My shop will be set up and used pretty much the same way as yours. I'm still on the fence about closed or open cell foam. I'm picking at you because we have similar climates, shops, and uses. I was recommended 2" of CC on walls and ceiling by one company, and 3" on walls/4" on ceiling of OC...

Get a box (like THIS) and a 60" downrod from Home Depot/Lowes/etc. Use self-tapping screws or bolts/nuts to attach the box to a purlin, run switched power to it, then hang the fan as normal.

A 55-watt headlight at 12 volts DC draws 4.58 amps. There is an amperage spike at start-up, so I'd get a power supply of twice the rated current draw to ensure it's sufficiency. I have no idea what PC power supplies put out, but there are plenty of simple plug-in adapters that'll work. Here's...

I forgot about those, and you're right.

Technically, it probably will 'work', it just may not operate as smoothly. The critical points are the distance from the first bend to the second and the radii of the bends. I'm no carpenter, so I don't know what collar ties are or where they affect your proposed setup. I may be reading too...

This unseen roof rot must have happened before, and isn't just a speculation on what could happen. I guess I should just go with the OC. It's cheaper, anyway. But, I'll give it another day in the hopes of more info, then email the insulation company tomorrow evening. Thanks for your input...

Bringing it back from the dead! The shop is built and I'm ready for spray foam. I've narrowed it down to one reputable and experienced company. They quoted me $4,400 for 3" on walls and 4" on ceiling of open cell, and upwards of $5,500 (he hasn't gotten back to me yet for an exact figure) for...

I have an SRM 210 as well. My neighbor scooped it up off the road when it fell off a lawn cutting trailer that was headed the opposite way. He said it skid in his lane and he drove over it but didn't hit it. The truck never stopped, so he picked it up. He used it until it wouldn't start any...

Looking at your second pic, it looks as if the hinge wasn't completely flat against the panel. They supply screws with these doors that barely fit the holes in the hinges. In fact, they kind thread into the metal because they're such a tight fit. Evidence of this is that the hinge is hanging...

It's currently stacked and wrapped in multiple layers of painter's plastic. It was laid on the plastic before it was wrapped, and a few layers of cardboard separate it from the concrete floor. I've only had it a few days. It was a good deal that I jumped on impulsively with the idea that I...

I used to work for an overhead door company, and Wayne Dalton was our primary residential line. At least back then, it was the top notch brand. I never was a fan of those Foamcore doors in anything over a 12' width, and the problem you're having is the main reason why. The simplest solution...

You guys pretty much validated my thoughts on it. Even though my shop will be climate controlled, humidity down South is just something you can't get away from. My shop being sealed would only postpone the inevitable. I think it would look awesome as a wall sheeting. But, with all the...

I have a 30x40 metal building (Mueller). I was planning on standing 4'x8' sheets of 5/8" plywood to have an 8" wall around the entire inside, then adding 1"x4"s at the top and bottom as a simple crown/shoe molding to finish it off. I have 33 essentially perfect sheets of 3/4" MDF that I could...

^^^ I don't know about EBR, but on my side of the river (and with Pointe Coupee Electric), the electric company is responsible for supplying the power to your meter can- including wire, conduit, etc. (up to about 200' +/-) I don't see why it would be any different over there. On my shop, I...

Just get it straight from a local overhead door company. The place I used to work at sold it for $1 per foot, IIRC.

Can I come play in your shop when you have it set up? :D Work picked up right after I got the red iron up on my shop, so I haven't even touched it in at least a month.:sad: Then, it rains on the weekends.:mad: I'm not a certified electrician, but I have a bit of experience. I say you should...

All of this is too complicated! I tapped into the door operator's built-in light to trigger a relay, then ran some wires in parallel from the relay to the wall switch for the garage's main lights (Two plain twin-bulb 8' fluorescent fixtures). I removed the operator's light bulb. The garage...

Every residential garage door I've ever installed has been trimmed with this:

That is something to consider, but I believe they are still assembled and in place and could probably be tested (if the shop still has power). It being an auction, we just have to hope that everyone else has the same thoughts or shallower pockets.
