I have one and it's really bright. Were I building another garage I'd go with them over fluorescent for sure. edit: ahhh yeah, Feit: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270879

beep-beep car is go posted:My garage is from 48 and has the original concrete slab in it still. It's solid and not cracked but it's very very spalled. Like, marble size chunks spalled out from almost 80 upstate NY winters. Could...could I just pour a ton of that concrete self leveling stuff over it to fill the holes and make it smooth and nice again? Would I be able to park a car on it after? That might be an option, but I'd worry about the expansion contraction of the different products with the added stress of the weight of cars, especially at the entry point where it'd be thinnest (unless you removed that section and did all new material. It's worth talking to a concrete pro to see what your options are, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it's really expensive. I've got an original slab from '28 and while my climate isn't as bad as yours, mine has some similar issues. I decided to cover up rather than pursue replacement of concrete and bought rubber gym flooring from CL for a super nice finish. I don't have to sorry about salted winters though, so I'm able to keep it clean with much more ease than in your situation. Still, maybe check out the rubber diamond mats? That'd be washable and conform to the uneven surface. Mat_Drinks fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Aug 27, 2017 |

slidebite posted:How difficult is it to install a garage door opener? There is a lot of stuff I'm willing to do and have done myself, but garage door installation is one of the few I will always pay someone to do. I've heard way too many horror stories about people setting the preload on the spring incorrectly and breaking an arm or just straight up screwing something up. But, I also have a really affordable garage door and garage door opener guy where installation of either is cheap if I buy the parts through him, which he also then warranties installation on. That certainly make the decision easier.

I missed the important word, 'opener'. That's what I get for reading and posting before drinking coffee. It's totally doable if the door is already installed. Woh, I'd never seen a shaft mounted opener before, that's awesome.
