They are low voltage and direct burial - I used conduit anyhow and soldered all the connections (took a while!!) and then heat shrinked and electrical tape to seal them...then capped them in the pvc as an added protection. I know they are not 100% watertight, and the lights themselves aren't -...

Opted to get new pavers and make the driveway a circular as well...while we had that work outsourced, wife and I installed the lighted pavers, conduit, and wiring ourselves - that was a job! We love how it turned out! Before: During:

After getting a $21,000 quote to install cabinets and slatwall in my 3 Car Garage, we decided to do the same thing for a little over 1/3 that cost...saved ourselves like $12k by doing the hard stuff ourselves - we are very pleased with the outcome! Here is our layout and what we were shooting...

As you can see from the photo immediately above, I had to custom build a frame for around the back door as the builder just put it in and left it with the original door frame sticking out of the drywall about 3 inches...so I cleaned it up and put a frame around it...that was a bit of...

Finally, more time to post additional progress pictures...let me know when I am boring you guys! :p Starting my soffit storage... Trial fitting my soffit lights...really nice LEDs I got off eBay for $11 ea. My new 'not-so-favorite-thing' - drywall and mud-n-taping...I **** at it and it...

Put my thermostat in by the house entry door A little trial and error when I put my breaker panel in on the fire wall...couldn't get a read on where the studs were due to the OSB panel under the drywall so of course, when I cut the hole, there were two studs which made them too close together...

Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted...seems like my transformation project has been taking all my time!! :thumbup: I am not nearly complete (you'd think I was building a garage from scratch!! Some of you guys did just that and did far more than me and were done in half the...

I put these in my garage...$17.98 from Menard's. Here is what they look like: My wife says it looks like a 'solar flare' in there...which means they are just about perfect, because I cannot do anything right in her eyes. ;)
