Nice Cougar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: I have a 69 convertible.....

Thanks for your input!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the amount of lights? would it be enough? overkill?

Ok, maybe I just confused myself. Would I want t8 lighting or HO lighting? Also what bulbs would you suggest? daylight? Based off the cooperlighting website they suggested the following diagram. I'm was a little confused on what FC I should go after for a hobby type shop. I used 100 sound...

Time to spec out the lighting. :) Within the next week we'll be ready to start putting lights up. We're building a 40x72 with 12' ceiling workshop that will be used for working and detailing cars, snowmoibles, Karts, etc. I want to have very good lighting in the shop. Were putting up a white...

I just cut down 50 trees for my 40x72 that i'm putting down. No cost as a bunch of friends helped. Spent $360 on renting a escavator to remove all the stumps. Just got a quote for 60 yards off fill sand delivered for $480 from two different companies. A friend has a dozer to level it for me...

I picked the last one up at my store as well!

I'm looking to build a pole barn package similar to this one. 40x63 It will be used as a workshop and for storing nice cars. I live in Michigan so we get quite a bit of snow. Plans would eventually be to finish the ceiling with a storage area above the celing in a portion. I'm just...
