    How would you build a 40x64x16 garage in New England?

    Do you have a birdseye view of the property? For trailers, I like drive-through setup. I'd prefer 16' wide doors, roll up doors or ones that are angle rise, 4 post lift along with 2 post, more than 24" room on the sides for cabinet storage, lean-to on both sides.

    Ceiling Lights - 40' x 32' x 14'

    For minimal shadows I recommend 4 bulb t8 fixtures with led tubes. You can find the fixtures free or next to free. Easy to convert the fixtures to accept LED bulbs. Bunch of videos on YouTube I recessed mine. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8849817&postcount=4

    Shop Makeover - TRUSS Modification, In-Ground Lift, Recessed Lights, Hellfire

    NewAge Cabinets reviews and tips

    I ordered 2 sets of the 12piece set from Costco on sale at $1499.. man I really do not like these. I buy & sell used Vidmars on the side and I regret not just going that route. I did not realize that the bamboo top comes in two 48" length pieces. My plan is to not use the tall cabinets to...

    Garage Lighting Layout - Need Validation

    Can't you tint the windows? Here is how I solved the visibility issues under the lift: Stickymatch, I would equally space the light fixtures and have at least one right over the engine bay area. Don't make a calculation of $100-200 difference, just install more lights if you can. Lighting...

    Tell me the layout and what lights to buy

    Recessed round LEDs are terrible for garage application unless you use a lot of them. I did a LOT of research on this topic and went with recessed troffers (qty 4 of 4ft T8 LED bulbs). For the same light output, I would have needed over 100 recessed round lights. Cost would have been much...
