The grass is dieing. Driveway needs to be sealed next year, but atleast my garage is getting better!

I've been working on the garage on and off.

My latest bit of change would be the lighting.

I had 2 dinky light bulbs for lights in the garage. Buddy and I went to lowes and picked up some lights. Light assembly and tubes ran less then $100. Took any hour to mount and wire up. Output is much better.

Here a picture of how the lights were:


See that dinky little light on the ceiling right above the hood of the car? yeah that spec up there.

Replaced that with 2 8' long light sections. 4 4' tubes in each section. Light out put is much better

After:


I also picked up a vice. To aid in stuff.



The garage is a little dark near the garage door since there aren't any lights there. I may put in 2 4' lights and have it lit up better.

Next up wall mounting speakers, and running speaker cables to my stereo receiver in the computer room directly above.

So whenever you want to change the song/station you have to go upstairs? You should get a separate reciever or hook the speakers up to your computer and get one of these

and run the cord through the floor and mount the sensor on your ceiling.

My garage looked like this when we first moved in, now the painted floor is dirty as hell and there is clutter everywere. I gotta clean it up.

The other garage at my friend's dad's place should be dope come spring time.

i was going to just terminal in to my desktop via laptop.

I'll probably just put some 80s internet station on and let it go.

My space is limited so I'm trying not to have the stereo physically in the garage.
