    KS Gov Vetos Proposed Non-resident Waterfowler Restrictions

    Ability to hunt on your own terms is pretty key (and birds too :) ). I still hoping for a golden age of some sort, but I've had things pretty good, so I shouldn't complain.

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    Heat build up. It is 100% against the installation instructions to have anything below the ceiling even partially covering the heating film, would void the warranty, too. Obviously a downside of the system, but then again, it is dead silent and needs no maintenance, so there are trade-offs with...

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    That is more or less what I was thinking with the standoffs and the light style you posted up, there are also some cable mounting systems that drop the lights down a fixed amount. I'm getting the sense that people are really not loving the perimeter mounted track lighting idea.

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    Industrial is 100% OK. I was planning on running the wiring in surface mounted conduit or wiremold on the walls. The problem for the ceiling is having boxes or the like in/on/under the ceiling.

    KS Gov Vetos Proposed Non-resident Waterfowler Restrictions

    10-15 years ago I was thinking we were going to live through a golden age of hunting as the old timers aged out and new hunters failed to recruit. It is clear, however, that I bought into the R3 propaganda machine and the precipitous decline they foretold was a fable. Hunter numbers may be down...

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    Talked to the heating manufacturer, and he was not thrilled with the idea of trying to put an LED strip along the joists, but that may still be the best option.

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    I guess I've been living under a rock with the LED styles out there. Thanks, that would work out real well, I'd think. The last time I looked at overhead LEDs what converting my T-12 fluorescents to LED in the shop and haven't kept up on the options out there.

    OK, I had no idea, I have not seen those. Thanks for that idea. I'll give the heating manufacturer a call and see what they think.

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    I agree on the potential for problems with shading, but with a lot of light going all directions with a combo of spot and floods, I wonder how bad it will be? That is why I was wondering. Someone has to have a house with a room with perimeter track. The ceiling is joists 16" OC with sheetrock...

    Lighting shop with track lighting...

    I'm thinking about my next steps in the shop and I'm wondering about lighting. First of all, my old eyes need a lot of light, so I'll be putting max light in there. The constraint that I have is that the shop has radiant heat in the ceiling and, thus, I can't mount conventional lights on or in...

    I think it looks fine, just leave it.

    Starting on the new shop

    We have 35 acres in WY and not a single tree. We do have one sagebrush that is 5' tall. :)

    Of interest - Contaminants common in northeast waterfowl

    On that little muscle (the chicken tender or supracoracoideus), everyone knows it has that tendon down the middle that can be a pain. I'm probably the last person in the world to find this out, but the tendon is super easy to remove with a fork and pliers. Grab the tendon with pliers where it...

    Starting on the new shop

    Thanks! Yes, those are Grizzly full-depth mid-risers (got them on sale). I just couldn't see how I could beat the space to cost to effort mix they offered. I certainly didn't feel like I could build something that would hold that many tools in a smaller space. Kind of a splurge, but I'm worth...

    Of interest - Contaminants common in northeast waterfowl

    I'd be a little surprised if that small muscle (the supracoracoideus) had higher levels of pollutants than the breast (pectoralis). You comment got me thinking and I specifically searched the scientific literature and didn't find anything, so I don't know what to say - maybe some bad information...

    Starting on the new shop

    No, we are part-timing it at the moment, plan to move completely in a couple years. We are in Western WY, 2 hours south of Jackson. Big Piney is the town of the street address, but we are way out of town.
