    Update on the "Bus Stop"

    Thanks guys, Progun3400, ITS is the class I race in, SCCA Improved Touring "S." Strnge, they are 8' 4 tube T-8 fixtures. I picked them up at HD as they were cheaper there than the electrical supply house. The low bay has 8' ceilings and the fixtures are about 4.5' from one another. I...

    Update on the "Bus Stop"

    Thought I would take advantage of the upgraded board and post some updated pictures of my shop. It is still a work in progress, Epoxy will go down in the spring and I still have a lot of stuff to move and organize. I picked up cheap slat wall from the local linens and things when they closed...

    roof insulation w/ open trusses

    While I am certainly not an expert, you will still need an air gap between the roof decking and the insulation to keep from "cooking" your shingles. They make a rigid vent, thin styrofoam, that I picked up at HD and stapled directly to the decking and then I stapled FG insulation to the...

    Fluorescent lights for the garage

    Couple of pictures for you. There are 13 8' T-8 lights inside. 7 in the lowbay area and 6 in the highbay. No flash was used in the pictures and the paint really brightened the entire area. I can almost work under the hood w/o a shop light. Just need it to fill the shadows. :)

    Well, here are a couple of updated pictures. I needed to move in to get the car ready for Road Atlanta in Feb. Still have a lot of touch up paint and organizing (read as benches/cabinets/shelving) but I am in. :) I used to autox against an S2k in my RX8 until they moved it up a class. We had...

    Two-car garage, latest updates

    I figured yours was two shades of grey but didn't know about the ceiling. I painted the ceiling white since I wanted as much light as possible inside. I have only one window in the shop area and it is 14' above the floor in the highbay. I am going to use white for the upper portion of the...

    Update on the "Bus Stop" with pics

    It's going to be tight Bull. The post is about 6" off the wall. If I had it to do over, I would have given up 2' of upstairs storage to move the lift over. Inside to inside of the posts is 108" and the space is just over 12' wide. Oh well, I can live with it since at least I finally have a...
