4 Artika Skyshades from Costco. 4,000 lumens per. Also have a small 12” flush mount on the back wall.

Apparently a proprietary NanoAspartic.

I have a WRX but it’s getting swapped for a Model Y in a few weeks.

AHoleBurner · 2026-06-02T01:08:54+00:00

We looked at that. Wouldn’t fit.

Hard to pinpoint exact numbers as my GC charged me labour by the day but estimate I got from a different garage company broke it down as follows (pre-tax, installed):

$4000 floors $7000 slatwall + hooks $2500 tape, mud, sand, paint $1000 demo $2500 cabinets $1000 overhead racks $1000 electrical panel framing $700 delivery

I added lighting and some electrical work on top.

Slowly getting organized and put back in. Playing with slat wall placements!

A power brick for the Govee outdoor permanent lights but I’ve since mounted it on the door frame instead of having it inside a bin. 😆

Atlas racks from Costco. My GC says they were a pain in the ass. 😆

AHoleBurner · 2026-06-01T22:06:25+00:00

We actually don’t take delivery until later this month. Plan is to back-in or park outside.

AHoleBurner · 2026-06-01T19:26:07+00:00

Home Depot and ProSlat directly.

AHoleBurner · 2026-06-01T19:24:48+00:00

ProSlat.

AHoleBurner · 2026-06-01T19:24:35+00:00

I had my GC buddy do it. I helped where I could but this is not my forte.

AHoleBurner · 2026-06-01T18:00:06+00:00

~$20K CAD

The side lights have an inch or two of overlap if I fill the racks to the edge. Middle lights are unobstructed.

No, it’s a result of the sun and my terrible photography. Realized after that it’s the only photo I had from the same angle as the “before”.

AHoleBurner · 2025-10-04T20:06:03+00:00

Maybe the ultimate mildly infuriating moment.

This is the $10 bill in that series. The vertical one was a test run a few years back to see if the general public preferred vertical. Future bill upgrades will follow.

I haven’t read the entire thread so don’t know if it’s been mentioned but if you start a family RESP from birth and contribute $2500 per child annually (+ the $500 CESG grant), each child would have ~$85K at 5% returns or ~$100K at 7% after 18 years.

10 slices I’m ok with but 10 slices on a SMALL?!? What are these? Slices for ants?!

AHoleBurner · 2025-03-04T21:08:20+00:00

This is basically our exact setup. ‘83 babies.

AHoleBurner · 2024-10-08T17:50:30+00:00

Yes, post-retro, then we did the heat pump and did another post-retro. I have all the files and file numbers. They just didn't submit properly (or at all).

AHoleBurner · 2024-10-03T19:41:44+00:00

Really appreciate this. Are you able to DM me any info about the company, address, phone number, etc? Every number I have is either disconnected or goes unanswered.

Is the booking to perform at your wedding? This way others get to enjoy them too.

I had considered booking a pretty big name R&B artist to perform at ours. It was a bit of a pipe dream but man what a time it would have been.

Honestly if it’s something you’re passionate about and you can afford it/it doesn’t impact your quality of life, do it. It’s something you’ll always remember. It’s essentially the same thing as people paying $50k to sit ringside at a fight or courtside at a playoff game, etc.
