Double check the voltage. If they came from a commercial application they could be 277 volt. It would require a ballast change.
I put flush mount speakers in the four corners of the ceiling and a yard sale tuner receiver. I can run my TV, IPOD, and CD/DVD/VHS through it. I had to hook an FM and AM antennas up to it. It has...
Rich,
I lived in a house built in 1942 it only had gable vents. I added a roof fan. to help in the summer as it was not insulated and no cooling. I eventually added pull down stairs to take...

I painted mine a slight off white for maximum reflection of light and figuring I will be covering most of it up with jigs, patterns and tools. I live in the forrest and like the green...
Ditto on asking the electrician.
There are electrical codes that are universal and there are local codes and preferences. Your electrician should be familiar with both of them. The books will...
I'm experimenting with stall mats. They are 3/4" thick 4'x8' in size. They can be cut to smaller sizes fairly easy. They are made of recycled rubber and very comfortable. I have tried the smaller...
My shop is 24x30 and I purchased two of the Daytons a little bit different model with and external thermostat. I put them in opposite corners of the shop. I put the thermostats down about shoulder...
Initially I had a 14x70 mobile and a shop with the power to the shop running off of a pole by the mobile. The shop had a 100amp panel. When I built the house I wanted to locate the meter at the...

You want your moisture trap as close to the point you are using the air as possible. It's recommended to have 50 feet of metal pipe before your outlet so the air can cool releasing the moisture out...
Rubber air hose decomposes over time and will provide you with little bits of rubber in your air stream. As someone else mentioned it will sag and create pockets to collect water.
The reason to...

I put in two 5K Dayton electric heaters in opposite corners of my 24x30 shop with independent thermostats. I have R19 in the walls and R30 in the ceiling. Living in SW Washington we have moderate...

Jacob,
It really is a preferance and I suppose you could make a case for every roof type out there.
I prefer a metal roof and have had the advantage of having one that was 35 years old. It...
My carpenter friend showed up Saturday and we spent time putting in some framing for speakers in the ceiling, readjusting the frame on the pull down stairs and boxing in a spot for a paper towel...

Great start I wish you the best. Even with the problem I had with my contractor I've still enjoyed the process and all the help and advice I have received from the folks here on the Creek....

If your ceiling is not finished and lends it's self to trough or recessed lighting that might be a consideration to maintain existing headroom. Fluorescent lighting will be cooler than most other...
James,
I originally had a 125 amp panel in my pump house feeding a 14x70 mobile home with an overhead wire feeding a 60 amp sub panel in the shop. When I built my home I did not want the meter on...
