I dont plan on going nuts with the lights... currently in the garage there are three 100W bulbs, two garage openers, and three (I wish more) electrical outlets on the circuit. My shop set up is going to be in the basement, so I wont be running any major tools in the garage when the lights are...

That's pretty much what I want to do... I was just worried about overloading something but it sounds like I will have no worries. Thanks for the reply. I believe my garage (outlets, openers, bulbs) are all going to one circuit/breaker... does this pose any further problems?

Hi all - I just moved into a new house and I am ready to get started on the garage. It's a three car with three single bulbs in the ceiling now. I really want to install some type of fluorescent lighting, but my question is how? I would like the bulbs to remain on the switch they are on now...

Hopefully the image I attached works. What about trusses like this? I think I would like to remove two of them and create a pocket. They dont look like the friendliest trusses to mess with. Any thoughts? This the the single bay of my three car garage and I think I need about a foot more for...

Moving that bottom 2x4 up is what I am thinking as well... Im just not sure how easy it is to rebuild these trusses and ensure that your house/garage wont fall down. I would like an extra foot, but two would be great! No question then I could have a four-post lift with one car on top of the other.

Does anyone have a picture or drawing of this? I may be doing this in the future as well.
