Well before I pulled the pin on anything I have read countless threads on this subject from this forum and many others. I decided that a cheap latex was the way to go due to the fact that it is "just a garage" as many have said in many different posts I read. Well My brother in law paints for a...

Good to know. And I totally agree with the stupid fluorescent lights. Compared to a 500w halogen light one of these is a way nicer light to work under. Right now I have my 20 watt 2400 lumen ones 5' off center(cord length restriction) in the garage. I may lengthen the cords yet. In the picture...

My wife has the attached single car garage for all of her stuff (arts and crafts) I have the work shop in discussion. We don't park our vehicles inside. This is for the sled, and dirt bike, and our street bikes and my project bike and chainsaws. After I am done the shop we will be renovating her...

Well I don't have paint on the walls yet... Heck I don't even have it insulated/ poly'd/ or sheeted yet. But what I can tell you is I think for the price (330 bucks) the light is pretty damn good. I have been experimenting with wood wedges for extra angle for coverage on theses lights as they...

Well I'm gonna pull the pin on that. They are gonna hang down only a few inches further than anything else off the ceiling that I have as an option. And if it doesn't work then I will have 6 work lights to use when I need em. Or I can use them as work bench lighting up my 24' of work bench on...

LOL. Ceiling. Smart ***. Post edited. Main shop lights on the ceiling of a detached garage/shop.

Is there any reason why I could not either flush mount or surface mount a light like this http://www.kingcanada.com/Products.htm?CD=1001&ID=22395 to the ceiling. Say 6 or 7 of them on a 26x28 shop with 10' ceilings. I can get these dirt cheap so it would be cost effective for me in comparison to...

I thought of it. But with 28' + about 20' of bench space I think I have enough wall space for the benches. Ladders and thin stuff on the wall to the close left of the 16' door. And my benches will be 41" off the ground which leaves me 37" under bench space. That's where my compressor and welder...

Yup that's in my list. The welder plug. My stick machine requires it.

Where in western Canada vern? Fill in your profile in the user CP bud. :beer:

Alan Ritchie. Just moved from Drayton Valley,Ab to the Crowsnest Pass. Reason for moving is pretty much for fly fishing and other outdoor activities. We had some pull from friends but I needed out of the oil rat race and back to the mountains. Had a 28x32 shop before. Made some mistakes that...

Thanks for the feedback. I am not able to go 12' ceilings due to a height restriction in my municipality. I will be trying to go around that as my garage access is through my back alley and there is a hotel backing that alley also. I forgot outdoor plug. That was in the plan, and yes air lines...

Just bought a house. Possession date is Sept 28. Garage build happens right away. Its not a car parking garage its more of a tinker shop and a motorcycle storage box. I have 5 bikes total. And then I do my own maintenance on my vehicles as needed. It will have 1 offset 16' wide door. I am...
