    Garage, shop lighting design ideas...2400 sq. ft

    Thanks for the inputs - these lights are dimmable with a 0-10v switch so I was not necessarily concerned about being too bright. I can see maybe a higher CRI value would be nice. Are there others out there that have a higher CRI and just as much light?

    Garage, shop lighting design ideas...2400 sq. ft

    So I know... a topic beat to death but before I pull the trigger I wanted folks to beat up my design idea for my garage/shop/living space. This garage/shop/office is part of the house, so full HVAC with a loft in the space for an office. Looking for an industrial vibe with lighting. Walls...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT Freshy Fresh - Mountain High Workshop and Storage: 48x30

    I'll chime in with my 02. Instead of a bunch of cabinets all over the place, build a room with a door - install cheap racks, cabinets, drawers - in the room. Keep the clutter in the room. Keep everything in room, compressor also as it is noisy. One tool chest that rolls around for the space...

    I think the asphalt with the concrete aprons looks nice - nice contrast and achieves the object of no mud. Concrete is great but $$. Probably just need to watch the edges with heavy trucks and plowing in the winters to prevent crumbling.

    Was just checking in - everything looks great!! Sorry about the GC and the driveway...you are spending a lot of time and energy trying to use your awesome garage with no driveway - kudos on the progress. I agree - time to bail and just get it done.

    Great progress - thanks for nerding out on the WiFi LAN/VLAN - setup, I'll just do what works out best from your setup. :) Do we think that Audi is worth the spendy double sided carbon steel bit setup?

    Nice! Just got caught up - moving swiftly! Will be nice to walk through when I head out later this fall. Woefully behind updating my thread and the disaster that ensued this weekend - :rolleyes:

    The *Mostly* BMW Garage Bolt-On

    All the cars - you need to get to 100. Electric is not really my jam but that has all the angles covered. Timeless design. Maybe a few years from now you convert to LS with RWD, Tremec 6SP? Lol...kidding kidding.

    Looks awesome! For the vertical nature of your door once opened, any issue with the opener holding that angle for any period of time?

    Thanks - agreed value is the only way to go. Thanks! - I don't use antennas for systems in my car, I just use Bluetooth and stream - not sure the last time I actually listened to an FM station via an antenna? Thanks! Yeah GJ is odd with the watched thread deal - I have had a ton fall off...

    Great job on felling the tree!! I agree - ladders, trees and saws (even a pole saw) not a good idea.

    Lots of decisions. Bench top - 3/8 inch A26 plate? I have had wood worktop benches before...usually just 2X6 that I can flip when they get tatty. My 02. and I could be way off base with this but I think I am over the work top bench deal and just going right to a large welding table 3/8 or...

    Great update - so much to see in that area! I know which Mexican restaurant you are talking about - we did the same. Spent 4 nights in Kanab and hit that joint 3 out of 4 nights!! We also spent time at Best Friends Sanctuary and took some ATVs to Peakaboo Slot Canyon.

    Thanks! I think it turned out better than before. In other news - bit of drama. Spent the last few weeks getting the M3 ready for a trip out to Colorado. My son is staying in Colorado for the summer, working and I can't blame him. Part of the bargain for that was he was able to drive the...

    On to the install - Took longer than I anticipated. The hood on a Defender can come off in about 3 minutes, but not with one person. My crew was out of town and I was determined to get this done over a long weekend. It rests on pivot points near the windshield and it just rests on the...
