garage paint done...

[Dave928]

there's a few touch-ups to do but it's not dark and dingy anymore.

old gray paint, no lights:

walls painted, 8 fluorescent lights w/ 6 more going in:

now to clean up the mess and get the cars back in...

Looks great now for my question what is the significance of the stripe colors I see those same stripes in alot of Porsche garages.

[CRAZYASTRO]

the stripes are the german flag.... and as u can see, he got 2 german cars parked in there....

As does FSU I grew up in Tampa what had me wondering was the number of Porsche owners with those color stripes .

After building the fancy new casino in Tampa I bet most of them do drive Porsches now LOL.

Can I ask.. what length are the lights? 6 ft. two tube?

I am about to install new lights in my almost finsihed new garage and struggling with Lights issue.. have not found much on the site here with that topic? unless I am searching wrong term.

Thanks
Mike

just standard 4 foot.

they're the $9 shop lights from HD. $4/pr for the bulbs. at that price you can fill a shop with lights (garage is 24x24-ish). i'm installing 6 more lights above where the garage doors roll up.

i'm currently trying to figure out how i want to install some conduit for the wiring so all the light cords aren't just zip-tied together and plugged into a power strip...

Are these the models that normally hang from chains? How did you attach them?

They have a fleet of jets and helicopters and I am sure they got some of kind of Porsche setting around somewhere!

The colors seem to identical.

they are. i just popped off the strip that covers the ballast and screwed the frame thru the sheetrock into the joists, then put the cover strip back in...

Nice! I got a kick out of the 'blue tape pile'! LOL

 

[MichelleJD]

Nice Dave - even if you do own a shark I was thinking of doing the dame thing myself. It looks really good!

BTW - Go Noles!

 

[cyclopsblown34]

Make sure you get the lights that are rated for mounting solid. Several say they are not designed for flush mounting.

 

[Jiffycake]

Just add some washers between the sheetrock and fixture or between the fixture and the ballasts if you're concerned with heat.

 

[Dave928]

yeah, the electrical guy down at HD said the same thing, and they're not for solid mounting. i'll get some spacers in there.

unlike the other HD drones, this guy's a wiring guru...
