We have one of those in our kennel building in the bathing area. It heats the area it is directed toward very well. I was told to think of radiant heater units like a flashlight as oppossed to an overhead room light. Imagine walking into a dark room with a flashlight, it will only light what...

Go check out www.hvac-talk.com. A forum all about hvac, whooda thunk? :bounce: Annette

I looked at getting a couple of things from them recently but then discovered everything was discontinued. Haven't tried since. What type of organizers? I've been doing alot of research on many different types and have a pretty good file of what to find where and where to find the best price...

Many people would consider the phrase "nice indoor outdoor carpet" an oxymoron! :bounce: :bounce: :lol_hitti Annette

Just an FYI, there was an article recently in Money Magazine about real estate and re-sale factors. According to the article the number 3 item on the the list that was bad for re-sale was bamboo flooring. (Number 1 was dryvit stucco and Number 2 was a spiral staircase). I think the issue with...

It depends on whether you a doing all one color, or a multi-color pattern. If you are doing all one color, then it really doesn't matter where you start. We did about 600sf of our basement in the chocolate brown lock-tile and since we did multiple rooms we just had to make sure we didn't have...

Seeing that pic just bums me out. I hate snow and cold and count the minutes until the dog days of summer!! I can stay out all day in the 90+ degree heat and humidity here in GA, but won't last a nanosecond in the snow. Hope spring arrives quickly so you can get back to the shop. Annette

We just changed out our old fixtures 2 days ago. We had 2 4' fixtures with T12 bulbs in a 22' x 22' garage. We replaced them with 2 4' fixtures with T8 bulbs. We also added another 4' hanging fixture in the center that uses T8 bulbs. All I can say is OMG :eek: I can't imagine if I'd been able to...

I can't get the video to play. I'll check it later from my PC at work. Looks intriguing. Annette

I'm lusting for the Desoto!! Great space. Annette

Daytona tile, 2.25 per sf. I must say it is very durable. We had an accidental test the other day when the Storewall was delivered. The delivery guy was rolling the pallet up the driveway and managed to run the pallet thing right up under the tile (don't ask). I stood there and yelled stop but...

The entire house was built with 2x6 framing, so I think the R-value of the walls is R19 and the ceiling is probably R19 or R14. I'm guessing an 18000 BTU is the way to go since the big doors will be getting opened a few times a day. The doors will be shut right away, but still, that's alot of...

My garage is 470sf and the adjoining room is 94sf. The adjoining room will hopefully get most of it's heat/cooling from the house since the door between will probably remain open most of the time, while the door between the side room and the garage should stay closed as a rule. I'm hoping to...

All of my research has been online since I can't seem to find anyone in my area that has experience with mini splits, grrrr. Very frustrating to say the least, and eventually they will be more commonplace around here, but until then I'm dealing with dead silence when I call any HVAC folks and...

Sam's club has their flexible tile on sale right now for 25.94 for a box of 6 tiles. The tiles are 18.63" squares which comes to about 1.84 per sf. http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=339375 Annette

So I'm now researching the mini split. Assuming I get the mini split the ceiling mount electric heater I bought for the garage will get installed in the basement shop for supplemental heat. I'm a bit confused about the electrical requirements needed for a mini split. I've seen all sorts of...

I'm putting Storewall up in my garage. You can do one band 15" wide around the perimeter of the room, or just one 8' section,whatever. I like that Storewall is more of a universal size and can accept hooks,shelves and bins from multiple companies...

I'm thinking that's the best spot as well. If I mount it over the door to the grill kitchen then I can leave the door open so both rooms can benefit. If I don't need to then I'll shut the door and just heat/cool the garage proper. I'm also thinking of mounting the condenser unit on brackets...

I looked at the Bonaire depot as well. I get conflicting info on what size unit I need. I was thinking a 12000 BTU unit would do the trick, but at 550sf, I think I'm right on the cusp. I'm not sure if erring on too large or too small is the way to go. The Soleus units on ebay do have the heat...
