Look, its like this... you either have it or you don't. Some people have luck, others inheritance. Sure, he may have purchased each one of those cars, but somebody had to give him a break sometime in his life, either by introducing him to hollywood, or giving him knowledge. I doubt it was from a...

Such a deal! (for a millionaire)! Wife must be on his case. ..... "YOU BOUGHT WHAT FOR HOW MUCH?" IF THAT DON"T GO, I WILL!!" Posted in 10 minutes on E-Bay after that conversation!

I am not sure about this, and maybe someone can shed some light on this (no pun intended ;), but I do believe that some florescents cannot be used with a motion switch. I think it depends on the ballast?

One last thought... The garage should be somewhat heated during the winter, otherwise the drywall will crack from the contracting and expanding. Most people have heated garages, but I only crank the heat in mine when I am out there, seein' as it is 100' away...

Thanks for the suggestions!! And about the wife being cheaper.... you have never seen my wife on a shopping spree! My problem has been solved!

Anyone know how to make the garage lights go on with the garage opener, using a relay, and STAY on after the garage light goes out? :headscrat

Hey, thanks for the ideas! I had a plan for the upstairs usage. But after the garage was built, I found a lot of problems. You see, I went with a "well known" garage builder and boy did they cut corners. The foundation has no footings, the interior cement edge along the walls near the front...

Looking for a cubicle wall to seperate desk area in the garage. :headscrat

Heck, all I did was measure from the top, marked my measurements scored my line using a flat edge and painted by hand along my lines. Why? Because I used OSB and taping was not practical due to the inconsistency of the board. It did come out nice. 4' of white on top to reflectthe light...

Starting from the floor and working up, I went 3' up with a Behr "Jazz Blue", 1' grey and then 4' white to the ceiling. Take a look: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39829

Well, I have a two story garage with the upstairs intended to be a "rec room". My plans are to intall a 50'' flatscreen, a couch, hammock, foosball table and some excersize equipment. I will also have knee walls for storage. My space is 24X26 with raised walls upstairs, windows and an eight foot...

I went with the $8 units from Home Depot and used T-8s with no problems at all, going on 2&1/2 years now. There is no noise and I have all the light I need with 6-2 bulb units in a 24X26 with 8' ceilings, mounted parallel/between the joists. The bottom of the reflector is flush with the joist...

Frog tape works great, but I used OSB for the walls and no matter what tape you use, it makes it kinda hard painting stripes on something not smooth. I have 8' walls and used the 4' edge for my line, since the sheets were placed horizontally. It was still hard and took time. I did get bleed...
