How many lights do I need?
Comments (1)8 sounds good. A rule of thumb is a recessed light will project a cone of light with a base equal to the height. For example, a light in an 8' ceiling will cast an 8' circle of light on the floor. I would probably put them a little further out in the room than 2 ft off the wall. Buy some extra tiles and cut some holes and see what they look like. I would also add some switched receptacles or sconces for ambiant lighting. Overhead recessed light can be pretty sterile feeling. Consider installing an egress window, it will add safety and natural light. My area requires an egress window to finish the basement, even though its not a bedroom....See MoreHow many cooking zones do we really need?
Comments (20)RC in Vermont: ... you'd like to see it in person? How about calling a store and telling them you want to see it plugged in and operating! If the zoneless AEG you have been writing about is the AEG 98001 KF-SN then I'm sure you can get it in one drive to Montreal this summer. The AEG 98001 KF-SN is stretched out, three rectangles in a row. E.g. http://theinductionsite.com/buy-induction/buy-98001kfsn.php I've seen it twice at two different showrooms: (Bachand on Decarie, and at JC Perreault on Highway 30 near Chambly Road; a bit closer to you). I always email and call beforehand. I call stores, distributors, master distributors, competitors, you name it. No way I'd drive over to see what they have, without knowing I've got their attention first. And a few answers before even showing up. The guy who I came across was good. Paul Simpson electrosth AT jcperreault.com; 450-462-7211 ext. 4425 . According to www.signaturebachand.com/service/service.html it's imported or serviced by Impora (not EuroLine). I've called the Impora guys too. Frank and Marc. As for the Ikea, their web site tells you if the articles you want are in stock that day. I once spent an entire day in that Ikea and I think it caught the attention of their security manager; mid or late afternoon someone who didn't identify himself came charing up to me asking if he could help me. No uniform. That was a fun conversation. On another thread I can tell you what I was able to find out about side opening ovens; I've even seen the Fagor. And I have exchanged lots of email with several Fagor people in Florida. Call before showing up. Bachand has one AEG induction cooktop plugged in. Why not have it be THAT one on the day you are coming to see it? It's numskull simple to twist wires on, twist wires off. Warehousing may be off site. Make sure they know you will take a new boxed one away if you are satisfied. I'd use a Canadian address to activate the warrantee and then move to the US. Nobody can prevent anyone from moving. All my family has stuff either from Canada in the US or from the US in Canada. It all works on the same electricity and/or phone system....See MoreHow many LED light we need for 10x40 lap pool 1
Comments (2)300 watts of LED can land an airplane. The conversion from halogen to LED is 1/5 so a 60 watt LED is good. If you swim laps at night don't put them at both ends. If you don't swim at night it's the best way to light up the pool. Cheers, JZ...See MoreHow many slabs do we need for 44sqft countertop and 26spft backsplash
Comments (3)Hampered by not knowing anything about the kitchen or the counter material, but I would do a full tile backsplash instead of a 6” same as counter backsplash. If budget is a concern, drywall and do the tile backsplash later....See Morelanda_mac
