Cabinet or just mirror?

We went with a mirror instead of a medicine cabinet for a "classy look"

 

Went with these and will change my existing switched light bulb to a switched outlet:

Slightly more than the single strip 6 pack that was mentioned, but was concerned about quality. They'll be surface mounted to finished drywall and I have a tendency to forget to turn lights off so decided to get this UL listed fixture instead.

Thanks for the advice to everyone that chimed in.

 

Had some 65 degree weather today. Laid the rest of the patio that I could. One pallet down, two more to go. Next step is more crusher run and outline the patio with retaining wall blocks.

 

Interior, is an extra barrier of protection for water rising from under the pad...also if you ever want to add a grey water drain, Like a dehumidifier or such you can just drill through the floor and hit it. We use rebar, but a common practice is not to backfill until the brunt of the weight is on the foundation to reduce stress cracks. Most new houses around here have 9’ basement walls. So when you think about the horizontal pressure on that without something tying it all together...it makes sense.

 

I have 4 16”x16” LED light in my 32’x16’ garage....no complaints...the wash of the lights is pretty good.

 

nice cheby

 

Huh , I've done lots of houses with full basements including my own and have never had a call to wait more than 1 week after pour to backfill , almost always without framing in place . We have a code requirement for buttress walls on any wall over 18' though

We always run a dedicated drain line for condensation drains / hot water tank drains etc

 

Nice truck. I had '71 c-10.

 

That looks great!! Good job! Always nice to have a large, and daunting, project completed

 

How big is your garage? That should work out well, almost too well

 

Theres a lot of good info here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=30

 

Not yet done, but here is the process of our living room “console”

 

It's a 3 car garage. Planning to put one over the front of each parking space and then one over my workbench.

 

Question, the previous owner of my home did the same type of patio and sidewalk that you are doing. The space in-between the stones seems to be filled with some type of "concrete" Some of it is hard but in other spots that are more exposed to weather it is coming out. Any ideas on what I am supposed to put in-between the stones?

 

Just a framed mirror, it came with the vanity and is painted to match.

 

Is it polymeric sand? That hardens up, but I don't know if it's use when the stones are spaced that far apart

 

How bad does the heat from that TV affect your thermostat?

 

I am not sure, we are in the "open windows and door" kind of weather. I will keep my eyes on it though, thanks for pointing that out.

 

If it begins to affect it, you could always convert it to a wireless remote Tstat and keep the temp sensor in another room to avoid the relocation hassle of tstat or TV
