    Anyone know of a store that's based in Canada that's similar to superbrightleds? Been meaning to do some under-cabinet lighting. Or if anyone has any specific recommendations on strips, I do have two longish areas that would require the use of extender cables though(approx 1.2m each)

    You can hack together the IKEA Ledberg strip lights for very cheap and with minimal hassle. 60" runs without swapping the driver, and much longer with the bigger driver they also sell. Not as many options as other kits, but a dead easy modular system.

    Not sure that’s going to really stop a motivated cat... but looks great.

    Wrapped up the garage painting on Friday. Glad we ended up painting ourselves, got lots of practice for painting inside the house now. Cutting the ceiling/walls 12'-14' up sucked. And rolling the 14' ceiling was no fun but the rest was pretty easy and quick.



    Now we're onto lights, shelves and tire racks.... then floors.... then cabinets.

    Would you recommend just paying to rent scaffolding next time?

    Probably not. I bought an extension pole to paint the walls/ceiling (which actually worked quite well). The scaffolding would have been nice for cutting in the corners but that's it. When I was rolling the ceilings I mostly walked back and forth on the floor which wouldn't work on scaffolding.

    Edit: also this thing was a great investment for hauling paint up/down the later for cutting

    Garage looks great. I wish I had that much real estate.

    Do you have 2 versions of the same ladder, or did you catch it in 2 different spots in the pano? Because it would be hilarious if you had 1 ladder and moved it each time so it looked like you had an entire roomful that you used to do the painting.

    There was most definitely 2 ladders and they're not the quite the same.

    Well they're awfully close. Too bad, lost opportunity there.

    One is slightly shorter then the other. Ask me how tall the taller on is.... exactly the height of the dropped beam.

    And how many times did we smash it into the beam while mudding, sanding and painting... >5 times

    So I have a outside tap that is completely frozen shut and can not be used. I went into the basement to start looking for a shut off valve and eventually found it. But the issue is this awesome maze of plumbing.

    There are two lines feeding the outside taps and there is only 2 shut off valves for the water lines.. shut off #1 is the main feed into the home and shut off #2 is the small valve that you see.

    So I can turn the water off to 1 tap outside but to turn the water off to the other tap I would have to shut the main water supply off.

    Looks like I'm going to the school of learning how to crimp pex successfully.

    As someone with an 800 sq.ft garage I agree. I wish I had an attached double for parking in, and then my alley triple could be the shop/storage
