Thanks for the replies.......... I think I'm going to buy the high-output ones at Lowes.......at 58.00 apiece I'm hoping I don't find a need to replace the ballasts as the ballasts should be the reason they cost 58.00 apiece. I just thought that with their buying power, maybe they are a good...

I didn't want to hijack Bill's thread on the lights he intends to buy, but it got me to wondering. In my last shop I went with my electrician and we bought fixtures from an electrical supply house.....don't remember what I paid each but with daylight bulbs they kicked ****...........except...

great potential....... I have to disagree to with those that find it unimportant. Maybe the experience itself would change those minds. In my old shop in st. louis I had no windows and it was insulated well with extra soundproofing........a co-worker gave me a surround sound system because...

the barrier The black stuff under the radiant lines is called "the barrier"........if you enter that phrase on ebay it will pull up information on it as a guy sells it all the time on there. He is a distributor of this product. Although he is from the upper northeast the actual factory that...

For those who have been following these threads of my shop's construction, here is the last few days and it mostly covers the brick going on, the 2nd floor rear window going in, and the radiant floor and pouring of floor. I apologize for not having more detailed photos of radiant install, but it...

Thanks for the kind words. About half the brick is up and supposed to be finished out tomorrow. Currently it is raining it's **** off out there and windy big time! I've been pretty lucky on weather so far but would prefer it to continue. I'm still hoping for pouring the floor on...

2x6 Yes.......2x6 walls. The recommended r-value for ceilings is r-49 around here, what combination will give you that the cheapest? Slowly but surely it's getting there and can't wait to get it far enough to move in but that will take a month or more after floor is poured to let it cure for...

One step at a time........ I haven't actually decided yet, but this is michigan so I'll be taking it pretty seriously........and as always am open to suggestions...... Keith
