Okay now to give you the history behind this garage. My father and his crew of racing buddies helped him build this garage in 1987 or 1988 my dad cant quite remember and I know I was to young to even remember. I was roughly 3 years old when the garage was built. It is a 30x36 2 bay garage.
I have always wanted to get the garage finished on the inside, as a father/son project and we have finally started working on it. The biggest obstacle to overcome was the fact that 10+ years ago my grandparents built a new attached garage in the place of their old unattached garage. Before they could take down the old garage they had to move all the junk somewhere and it ended up making its way to our garage. So for the past few years we have slowly been throwing the junk out trying to make more room in the garage and I believe we are very close to having it all gone!
Last year we probably made the biggest improvements on the garage. Before winter set in we had a family friend come in and get started running the electricity and getting lights installed. By the time the winter set in we had about 95% of the wiring complete and all 6 canned lights installed. We have plans for more lighting to be installed but we are still trying to find the best lights to use. We wanted the canned lighting just for those times we run in to grab something or to allow time for the florescence to warm up.
The garage is currently wired to have 20 outlets inside plus 2 outdoor outlets (1 front, 1 back). There will be a motion light mounted over the walk through door, and 3 exterior lights mounted on the front of the garage that will match the house. Inside for lighting like I said we currently have 6 canned lights and will be adding 9 (3 rows of 3) 6-T8 bulb high bay florescent light fixtures.
It may seem like excess but you can never have to many plugins plus we want enough lighting that we do not have to fight our shadows when working in the garage.
