new garage build

[NoBrakes!]

Still waiting on the concrete contractor to pour that south apron to finish it nicely.

Hoping to shingle Saturday and get the windows/door in Sunday…then the finishing contractor is lined up for October to do the soffit, fascia, eavestroughing and siding.

Winters coming…

Best be putting a wanted add for an old house stereo with some nuance speakers. Nothing better than UFC night in the garage.

Hope you get your big door. My neighbor just built a shop and is considering sheeting in his big doors for the winter. No ETA for delivery.

What does a guy use for interior lighting? LED obviously but where from?

For a ceiling height under 16 feetish, I like a vapour tite fixture so the bugs don’t get inside and die collect on the lens.

I used these csc ones in my garage and on a few projects. The 65 watt are super bright and good price per watt. They make brighter too.

5000k colour temperature for a garage for sure!

South facing for sun but into the back alley... I didn't want people to be able to look/crawl in easy... But I still wanted the sunlight.

Pick a store. I like the co-op home building center. You can buy them almost any where. Home depot, crappy tire, Walmart ext.
