It appears that T-12s are phased out for institutional/industrial applications. Tubes and ballasts marked for residential use will still be manufactured and sold. So we can still keep calm and carry on after all. :)

Lift the car with a floor jack and place the ramps under the tires. :grin:

I just went out and kicked my garage's *** for not being as cool as those. :angry1:

:headbang: Okay, that does it -- I'm moving all of my house stuff into the garage and converting my house into a garage space. A+ all the way, Ma Snart!

Wow, the T12 phase-out totally got past me. On my way to Ace and Lowe's right now to buy up their stock since my whole garage is lit with T12 4-footers. :angry1:

^ willitay, I think you've just found the solution - trying to fix up the current garage won't be cost effective, so I need to build another garage onto the one that's sweating! I've been telling my wife we need to add on for a few years now, but didn't have enough proof that we "needed" an...

Sonny, wouldn't the sheeting just trap the moisture between the concrete and the plastic, making the sheeting into a giant slip-n-slide?

Yep, a slab, and it's painted, but humidity can bubble the paint right off. I have one of the 50,000 cookie-cutter houses that were built all over this town. Weird thing is, the garage is built of 2x6's even though 2x4's were code. All that extra strength, but the builders cheated on a frickin'...

Walls, yes. Ceiling in progress.

I've been running a dehumidifier in my garage so that my '72 doesn't drown (and rust) in the summer air moisture here in the great swamp of Michigan. Water used to pool on the floor on really humid days, to the point where I'd have to break out a mop to soak it up. Now the garage stays dry, but...
