    Can you really have too many lights??

    Not sure, I was thinking in rows. not sure if I should have 5 switches to control each row of three lights? That seems kind of a pain. I thought of 3 switches. (1) for first row from left, (2) does 2nd & 4th. (3) does 3rd and 5th? Row one would be by itself because that's going to be more of...

    Another insulation question!

    2x6 walls with 2x4 girts. then the metal. So that's why I was thinking the 1/2 foam board to the 2x4 girts. that would leave 1.5" air space between the metal. Spray foam in the area is running about .50 a 1/2" per square foot. the building is 40x72 14' walls. so 3" thick of spray foam would add...

    Another insulation question!
