I have four 4-bulb recessed lighting in our finished basement. These use the 48" T12 bulbs. Two ballasts each. Over the past year sometimes I will get one or two fail to turn on, sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. Typically have that "hum" usual with older ballasts. These have original...

40'x20' detached garage. Insulated walls (R13) and insulated ceiling (R30), Racedeck on the floors. We've been getting a ton of rain, pretty much every day for over a week. On one side of my garage (on of the 40' walls) there is what appears to be mold forming on the woods studs, from the...

Well actually it's been done for a little while but it took me some time to clean the garage enough for decent pics :beer: My garage had a really awful concrete floor, broom finished and extremely dirty, really hard to sweep. It also created a lot of dust in the garage. I could go on. Did a TON...

Finally got my outbuilding insulated, it is approximately 41'x22' with 14' ceilings. I have R13 on the walls and R30 on the ceiling, both are fiberglass batts. Also have 3 of the HD 60" ceiling fans people post about on here occasionally. This is in GA by the way. My budget to heat and cool the...

I have x3 fans, the 60" industrial Hampton Bay units that HD sells, this unit. Their controller included is only for 1 fan each, and I did not want 3 separate fan controllers and all the associated wiring, when a single controller would be more than enough for me. I called Hampton Bay but...

After a rain I get a bit of water collected that will stay for a day or two at the entrance: I'm wondering if I can cut a slight notch at the deepest part of the puddle, that goes to the drain area next to it? Something thin, maybe using a cutting disk on a 4" grinder The concrete section...

Finishing up the wall insulation and next step is to run ceiling insulation between the trusses. Then put up some 1x4 furring strips on the bottom of the trusses until I can figure out what ceiling material to go with. The batt insulation install is pretty straight forward but I have a question...

So I've been working for the past 3 weekends putting up insulation in my detached outbuilding. Started with the walls and will be doing the ceiling soon. Here is where I'm at, after about 30 rolls: Well this was what it looked like earlier before insulation: The walls were sheathed on...

Over the past couple weeks I've been working on insulating the walls in my outbuilding, now I need to start looking at a ceiling w/ insulation. But this poses a lot more questions than I had about insulating walls :) For reference, this is on a detached garage, 40'x22', bottom chord of the...

So I've always hated using the side door to my detached outbuilding/workshop, it's just a random door that you have to walk through dirt and grass to get to. So I did a whole bunch of research and started my walkway project over the new years weekend. I didn't get crazy w/ it but I am totally...

I still have quite a bit of work to do on my detached uninsulated 24x40 garage. Add insulation, ceiling, finish the walls, fix garage door springs, figure out better lighting, etc. Maybe some other projects if I feel up to it, like adding some windows or another entry door. Looking for any...

Hey guys! Another question. I have a 40x22 outbuilding that is currently not heated/cooled, nor is it insulated. I understand that without a good AC system (or heat in the winter) it's never going to be the "perfect" temperature in there, but with the way the GA heat has been lately it gets...

I've got a garage door that I insulated with the Owens Corning kit. The weight of the insulation is now too much for the springs so the door does not open easily, without propping it open with something. I don't think the springs were really set correctly before because even before I added the...

Well I've been lurking around for a few weeks, really enjoying reading up on some of the threads here. Needless to say, I'm pretty jealous of a few garages here already :bowdown: We bought our first house a year ago. My only stipulation was it had to have a good garage... so we found one with...
