    Best way to hard line plumb a shop for an air compressor?

    I used a 3/4" Rapid Air kit in my install. Very happy, I also added a ball valve between the compressor and air regulator. I did a good leak check before the drywall went up and haven't had any problems in over a year now.

    Lighting Plan for my new garage (pics)

    Lighting Plan for my new garage (pics)

    Primarily general mechanical on my track car, race car. Engine, suspension, brakes etc. No painting, waxing, buffing here! My plan is to have the lights in 3 zones. I have 4 24' banks of lights down the edges of 3 bays. How much less light do you think I could have in each one of those banks?

    Lighting Plan for my new garage (pics)

    Your thread is what turned me on to floorplanner.com - I really like it. Just can't figure out how to make the ferrari stay blue in the 3D view (to match my blue corvette) My reading on GF says the same, you can't have too many lights. I need to finalize on what lighting fixtures I will use...
