Hope Williams on Mar 31, 2015Do not drill span Crete!!!!!! Use the 3M sticky hooks to hang maybe rope lights or string lights. Just don't drill!Helpful Reply

Mcgypsy9 on Mar 31, 2015How high is the ceiling in your earth shelter? Would it be possible to add another ceiling below the existing and putting your can lights in that? I hate track lighting too. If you can't do that maybe make a shorter new ceiling and add light spot lights into it. Another idea would be to roll rope lights into a coil shape and secure them to the ceiling. Let us know what you decide : )Helpful Reply

Mcgypsy9 on Apr 06, 2015LOL I know what you mean about getting older! Same here! I think I would try the rope lights first. Just coil them up and either tie them together or use some sort of glue between the coils...then just find some hooks or something to attach them. Anyway...let us know if the can lights worked!Helpful Reply

Andrew on Apr 14, 2015I have large 6" holes drilled in numerous places in our spancrete because it was originally, and still is in most places, used as part of the HVAC system. They cut holes in the bottom in one place for the input and then along the wall at the other end on top for the vent. I also asked the engineer that did the door calculations for some new doors we are cutting below the spancrete for a remodel if we could do cut new holes for spancreate and he said that would be fine as long as we stay away from the edges and the center support ridges.Helpful Reply
