    Concrete floor painting

    I painted my garage floor somewhere between 2012 and 2014. The prep work was very important. The garage was mostly empty and that made it much easier.

    closet light swith

    When the fold-up stairs are closed I cannot see the lights in the attic in my garage. I used one of these pilot lights so I notice it when I walk out of the garage.
