    CoverShield U140 semi Gloss

    I am getting to the end of my 28x36 garage build. Hanging lights this weekend hopefully, then on to the floors. I am thinking of using the U140 by CoverShield product, as I like the original concrete look, and I did not want to spend a lot of money on my floor. I want it a little glossy vs...

    Thanks Platonic, I would not have thought about ordering from their site. They offered free shipping as well, and 10 % off, which is a nice savings if you are ordering a few .

    Parmida led ballast bypass bulbs

    Hanging my light fixtures tomorrow, and am getting ready to purchase bulbs. I found these on amazon and was wondering if anyone has tried them, or has any thing bad to say about the specs? The price is right. Thanks https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077YV5J51/?tag=atomicindus08-20

    If you had it to do all over...

    Make sure and install a large 100 amp panel with more than enough breaker spacers. I installed a 12/24 panel, and when I was finished I used every spot. Before I put in drywall, I took that panel out and installed a 24/48 panel for anything that may arise. I already added more breakers. I put...

    Mini split vs. forced air for 2000 sqft shop – WWYD?

    I am in the process of completing my shop, in phoenix. I do hvac for a living. Not that means anything. I chose to put heat pump system in instead of mini splits.

    led vs t8

    I am building a 28x36 shop with 2 10 ft wide bays and a 12 ft wide work area, 28 deep. After looking and reading on here, as there were lots of shops comparable, I decided on 13 8ft 4 bulb fixtures only from home depot, as they appear just as cheap as ordering them online. As far as placement...

    depressed slab or not

    Thanks for the responses, my slab will be 12 inches above grade, so kind of easy to go either way. OSB for the walls. As long as I epoxy/paint floor to make clean up easier, I think it will be okay. Just looking for any other cons to doing it this way. Pressure washing the floor is one I had not...
