I love my Kershaw's. Terrific knives that come factory with a razor edge, and very affordable. Many different designs to fit practically any need you may have for a knife.

Nice looking space you have, I'm glad that you posted this too. I'm getting ready to start my ceiling and have been back and forth between sheet rock, vinyl, drop ceiling, and metal. I've decided to go with metal as well, I'll be following your project, so I appreciate the pictures!

I stopped by my uncles work place today, big factory type warehouse, anyway he asked me to stop because he had just swapped out the old fixtures for some new T5's. Unreal how much of a difference they made. On the side with the T5's installed, it was like stepping out into the daylight, I'm sold.

2Many, I appreciate the break down and explanations of said light fixtures. You truly "broke it down", but in a way I can follow. Thanks for the education. Lights are not just lights by any stretch are they?! My plan is starting to come together now, thanks everyone for your time.

I will have a 4 post lift. I'm currently trying to figure the best way to work my overhead lighting in that particular area. The lift will likely be in the up position most of the time as it will double as a storage tool.

Madosta/Charles, I suppose my intelligence is showing itself now as I was unaware of a T5 vs. a T5 HO. See, you guys are pretty good!

Fellow Garage Journal Brethern, After running electrical and hanging Sheetrock, my garage will be done. It is a stick built 28'X30' with 12' ceilings. I had my mind set on the T5 fixtures, 48"/4 bulb fixtures, I have all but wrote the check out for them. However, as of late, I have come across...

Welcome from Martinsville ,VA, again.

Looking really great man, solid work!

Right on man, and I understand the "excited part" completely. My pad was poured last week, and I was excited, then we started framing today, which is even more exciting! Good luck with your build.

I have not started a build thread of my own, but you know, I think I'll do one. It will at least give me a place to dump some of these pictures at anyway!

Thanks GB, appreciate the info. That was my guess judging by the 12' walls. Originally I had contracted for standard height walls and just a 7'X9' doors. Since then I have negotiated for 12' walls and felt like the 7'X9' doors may look a bit out of place with 12' walls. I think I'll copy your...

What are your garage door dimensions?
