I just returned the fixtures and got two 8' fixtures. Totaling eight 48" t-8 bulbs. Should be decent light... http://m.lowes.com/mt/www.lowes.com/pd_163723-337-8TSNF-232-UNV-EB81-U_0__?productId=3181905 Wow. That's a lot of 8s... Haha

well im jealous....

well, i want it to be a "functional" garage when i need it to be. we dont park in it, but my driveway is at an incline, so when i need to work on a car, i need to work on it in the level garage. But i also want it to be somewhat of a man cave/hang out. which is why i have the fridge, arcade...

do you all think that the walls are too dark? should i look into two toning the garage with a lighter grey upper half? i see it alot on here and it doesnt seem to look too bad. maybe i should just wait to see how it looks with the new lights i get tomorrow. and maybe once i get the cabinets...

ha, yea... thats all it was... i was buying out of excitment so i just picked out a fixture that i thought that looked good and said "ill make it work" instead of thinking how to do it right the first time.

well, they look lighter in the day, but i wanted a grey color and they turned out darker than i thought they would. i dont really mind the color because when i add the cabinets, i will have much lighter colored cabinets, and accesories on the walls. Now that being said, i did buy a gallon of a...

yea, i just wasnt thinking when i went shopping... oh well, i started thinking clearely soon after starting messing with them.

after looking at them and thinking about it, im just going to return these and get flush mounted lights. I dont want to cut and wire these in. i want to do it right. flush mounted fixtures will solve all my issues.

yea, im just gonna return these. Im glad i tested them out before permanent instalation. i should have just gone with a flush mount from the begining. I want fluorescents because i want brighter light due to the walls being darker. Thanks for the help fellas

small update. I had purchased two 48" fluorescent fixtures from lowes. http://www.lowes.com/pd_271069-13537-271069_4294896174__?productId=3231452&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FgoToProdList%3Dtrue%26Ns%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo= I installed them today...

Thanks fellas, I really wanted to focus on the garage first mainly because it's a work space, and I will need it to work on various projects around the house, so why not have the garage set up the right way from the beginning. I'm really hoping to have the floors coated by the end of the...

Thanks

Thanks. I'll look into it. I did buy a gallon of light grey too(for trim and whatever else). It only took 1.5 gallons to paint the whole garage in "man cave" so the light grey would cover a lot

I am amazed at the work you've done with thing. It looks awesome. Very nice work. And the fact that you did the work means that much more.

Is there any tips or tricks to avoid the salt dust? Besides just being careful? I don't want anything to start rusting. Maybe building some kind of vented enclosure around the water heater and softener?

Thanks man. Yes the neighborhood does allow sheds, and I want one to store the lawn mower and all other yard care stuff, which will free up a lot of space. That bookshelf is put there to keep the mess somewhat organized untill I can afford cabinets. I really want cabinets. I plan on having the...

Yes you do :) it may not be a porsche or a viper, but it's my pride and joy right now Thanks for the advice. The softener is not currently on right now because I have no idea how to use it lol... But I didnt even think about the salt issue. I was considering installing a utility sink where the...
