I just got a message back from the company that removed it from service. They say that the freon was pumped down into the unit and it is full. This seems like a decent deal.. assuming it lasts even a few years..

I'll be doing some of it myself, but I'll hire someone to sweat on the copper lines and everything refrigerant related. The R22 does make me nervous, how many lbs of refrigerant would a unit this size hold? I just cant afford thousands of dollars for a new 410a system.

I found this heat pump locally and it would seem to be a pretty good deal. The guy claims that it was professionally removed and that the refrigerant was pumped down into the unit. When I asked why it was replaced, he said that the defrost cycle was loud in the wintertime and kept his wife awake...

Are the T5HO's distractingly bright? I am considering using these in my 30x50 but at about 13' height.

Thanks guys, a lot of good info here as well as another thread started about the same time.. got some studying to do..

It's the bathroom. In that render it's a sink mounted to the wall. I think it will wind up being a stainless freestanding sink. Right now the plan is to frame in the walls to the wall girt at about 7' and plywood the interior. Cabinets are a possibility, I also considered a small mezzanine. I...

I have been lurking around since I had my shop put up last fall and I am finally getting ready to start hanging some lights and doing some electrical. This is the original thread: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164785 My eve's are at 13', so I originally wanted to use...

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but what are the supports you have in the pictures between the purlins that are holding the lights up?

Here's the first layout I came up with: The blue lights represent the main shop lights at 11 feet and the red light represents the light in the bathroom at 8'. By my calculations, this comes out to about 110 lumen per sq. ft. As soon as I get the layout nailed down, I would like to create at...

It's about 150' from the house, so no issues there. What was said about amperage made sense... the wattage used is almost the same..I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for the advise everyone, I'm going to pick up some more of these this evening.

Am I reading the ballast correctly that they are more efficient at 240v? Should I wire these for 240?

It will be used as a general workshop,working on trucks, welding, ect with spot lighting over specific areas.. How high should I hang them? I was thinking somewhere around 10ft just to make sure they are up and out of the way

Alright so I found these fluorescent lights for $8 each on craigslist.. from the description in the ad I thought they were 4', 2 lamp T8's with bulbs and plastic covers. When I got there, they were actually 4 lamp fixtures that would go in a dropped ceiling.. This threw me for a loop as I...

LOL, well thats one option. Thanks for all the info guys.. I've already bought the pipe so re-sizing really isn't an option at this point. From what reading I've done, larger pipe is for some reason more forgiving about slope. It is sch40 Solid Core, so hopefully that will help with the...

This will be for a toilet only....the sink being just grey water will just run out on the ground. The only thing I'm really worried about are solids. The bathroom won't get used all that much though.. maybe I can find an old school toilet with a 3-5gal flush

I'm putting a small bathroom in my shop and running a 4" PVC line back to my septic tank near the house.. Well now that the shop is up i re-checked my distance and fall and i ended up with about 10" of fall over about 168 feet. This works out to almost 1/16" per foot.. I know the usual...

Dang, the closest store is a state away, and not available online :(

Sorry, I had priced it a couple of places and think I transposed the $2.41 into $2.14. I wound up getting it from these guys: http://www.netwes.com/ for $2.17 a ft. I got it hooked up this weekend, using the lugs. Thanks again for all who offered advice.

The 200A supply panel is on the outside of the house.. The 125A will be on the inside of this on the shop. I found this on youtube describing 240.21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uJRSrB4E7dY Outside feeder taps start around the 9min mark, and this describes my...

Yes, the box in the shop has a 125A Main, the box on the side of the house has a 200A main. Connected together with 2/0
