Thanks. Was not really considering in floor. Floor is already poured so not really an easy option, also concerned about shadows as mentioned. I like the 2nd one, but anything that stands off the wall really isn't an option. I have a 20x20 with 2 garage doors and the doors are in the corners...

I have a mid rise lift. How do you guys handle lighting down low so that you can illuminate the underside of the car on a lift? Was thinking about LED strip lighting on the wall near the floor.

These are on sale for $17.50ea shipped for fixture with bulbs. 40W 4400lmns 5000k https://amzn.to/39wf3tN

Anyone use these lights? Seems like a pretty good deal, four 4' LED lights for $89. I don't have any fixtures currently. Would like some feedback before pulling the trigger though. https://amzn.to/2uxoKG1

I've got a 20'x20'x10' garage. 2 garage doors with doors pretty flush with walls. There is space in the middle between the doors for light fixtures, but there is not space between the doors and the walls. Walls/ceiling will be sheetrocked. I want wraparound light fixtures. I'm thinking of...

I'm trying to figure out how to do this with my garage which is 175' away with a small barn half way between. I tried installing Z-Wave plus devices but they don't reach. I then used some Iris ZigBee Smart Plugs and the ZigBee reaches both barn and garage no problem. I think the issue may be...

I have a wooden deck that is in the shade a lot and had a thick growth of algea/mildew/mold, etc after a few years of neglect (we just bought the house). I had to power wash it to remove the thick growth, then sprayed it with 30 Seconds Mold and Mildew remover to kill any left. It's not a...

I just got 2 of these. I'm hoping they add IFTTT.com support via firmware update in the future. This would allow you to do some cool things and automate some stuff. Also allow you to integrate with other Smart Home Automation technologies and hubs like SmartThings, Wink, HomeSeer, Automatic...

If you have two if these GDO's, can you operate both separately from one keypad?

How did you like the grooved or ribbed mats? Was thinking it would be nice to clean up spills and such to be able to sweep out the garage door. Concerned about using a creeper on the ribbed stuff though. Thoughts?

Moving to a new house. My new 20x20' garage has a full second story. Currently it is carpeted. I want to rip the carpet out and put in some sort of flooring to protect the wood. I plan on keeping motors, trans, dirty spare parts, etc up there. Good possibility for spilled oil, water...

I'm looking into getting a Mini Split Heat pump. Local HVAC company I like installs Samsung Heat Pumps and is recommending the Samsung Max 24k Mini Split Heat Pump AQN24VFUAGM for my insulated 22'x22'x11' garage. http://www.amgair.com/samsung-max-mini-split-heat-pump-aqn24vfuagm-24k-btu/...

You can work under it with a creeper. Max lift is 26". As reference, the Max Jax is 45". Check out this video of it in action to see how well it works with a creeper. -Scott

BTW, I got this for use at the track it is awesome! I love it. Takes up little room in the trailer (stores similar size as an EZ Up tent but only 4" deep), is quick and easy to setup, and quick and easy to use. Can even use it on dirt and grass. I even used it to move a Piano. Ever get...

I ended up setting up a group buy for it. The cost is $1650 plus shipping. Let me know if you are interested. -Scott
