CJ7- it is a maxlite 105w. It got installed on 480 and fried the driver so all it cost me was a $40 driver. MFL105AX7TX50B. Thanks for the link to the caseta. I think that my remote would work in series but I still want it to be operable at the shop so that may be my best option.

I installed a great led flood on the gable of my shop and would like to be able to control it from the house. I bought a remote switch but I can't get them to work together (only the remote will work with swit h on. When off the reciever loses power and must be re-paired with remote to turn on.)...

Footprints ended up at the end of the workbench where the welder lives. I'm as yet undecided on the anti slip product I used. Color chips brand sprinkled on between top coats. It is very aggressive and my application was a bit uneven. In hindsight I would have used a less aggressive product...

Got a countertop built for a utility sink. I can't believe how expensive the install kit for the woodstove is. The boat is finally inside taking up space.

Thanks Warren. I hunt as much as I can, 2 yrs into a new job so I'm hoping for some time off this season. No real trophies to speak of but usually some meat in the freezer. I need lots of time in the woods to compensate for my lack of skill.

Thanks Dan. Your right on the money!! Old bluebrint cabinets. They are 37" deep so it will make any shelving a bit rough but we'll see.

Thanks LX it seems like the finish line is always just around the bend. I did get some cabinets in, topped with 1/8" steel. The other one will probably be formica with a utility sink. I haven't decided what to do for hot water. I ran a 110v for a 2.5 gallon and a 30amp for instant( should have...

I have reached the conclusion that with my free but very used cabinets I should stick with my penny pinching theme and get the A36 in 1/8" . Perhaps when I tackle one of those bench build threads I will step it up to something significant. Thanks for all the help and info. I'll post a pic later...

Thanks for the link One of those would be great for my other counter, unfortunately they are about 400 miles across the state from me :( The sheets are going to overlay existing 1-1/4" formica countertops. Guys next door at work will bend the front and backsplash for me. A36 is not what the...

Hey all- I am looking for advice on countertop material. I picked up some old blueprint cabinets and want to top them with steel. I think I'm set on 3/16 but unsure on type. I can get high tensile for about 15 bucks more per sheet than the standard (41something whatever) at $265. The surface...

Sprayed vapor barrier seems commonplace here. My moisture issues are likely from leakage around recessed lighting and unused hvac ceiling registers. Finished the epoxy floor today. I wish I would have mixed the non-slip additive instead of sprikling. My wife saved my sons footprints from...

The wife and kids pitched in and we got the epoxy down and flaked. Used clear hobby epoxy in the footprints and will put 2 coats of clear over it all.

Thanks! The siding on the house is hardi. This stuff is Allura. I used Masons Select "duckback" semi trasparent stain I had left over from the house. I believe they have changed their product now. I sprayed it prior to hanging. 2 coats- heavy so it would settle in the low areas. I sprayed...

A mess is right! Wish my shop vac wasn't on loan. I think Ill be buying my wife a new vacuum. Ground 3x and have pressure washed 4x. Epoxy will be here next week!

Thanks for the words of wisdom! I have already ordered most of my supplies so the clear, base and chips are on the way. I'm thinking I will use another clear in the footprints and mask them with gorilla tape. I have a wide roll of paper to practice chip broadcast and spiked shoes. The shop...

I only plan on thinning the first coat to enable better penetration and adhesion. I would use the pre-prime product but I have read of a few difficulties it can present. It seems to me that a thinner product may self level better but I will put the second coat down thick regardless. I would...

After more reading, searching, and talking with local suppliers I am planning on using Devoe products. Solvent based devran 224 is 77% solids and will give me up to 6 hrs pot life. The 100% at 30 minutes was a bit intimidating. I'll be thinning the first coat with zylene which should yield 4...

Got the floor ground today. Did my best to save 3 footprints. They are nowhere near as deep as the areas I screwed up with the power trowel. 3 paint stores today pushing the 1 gallon 250 sq ft kits. Waiting to hear from sherwin williams (US coatings) and another company whose commercial line is...

Thanks guys- my wife and I have talked about preserving a couple of footprints. If I wait and do a full system with top coat would I just mask them for the base? Would it be better to clear them first then mask for base? I have lots of imperfections to hide so I don't want to skip the flakes...

Yes after a long day of concrete work I told my 10 year old son that the floor was done. Exhausted and with the power trowel loaded back in the truck he came over and said " I don't think the floor is done 'cause you can still see my footprints" A good friend kept me relaxed and we all laugh...
