I descided that to really get any work done, I was going to have to solve the problem if my new garage being so dark. So a trip to Lowes, and a total of 12 florescent tubes, and it is like sunlight in there! 4 overheard, 2 in the front, 2 on each side, and 2 in the back.
Now, I just need to finish orginizing everything, and I will be ready to really get working on stuff.

Looks like you got some good storage space.
A Chevette would fit in there nicely when the Audi is done!

Awesome! I mounted a couple of those on the garage door itself and it's helped tremendously. _________________

yeah, they each take 2 40w 48' tubes. They aren't that cheap, i was expecting $3, but they are more expensive. The cheapest I could find, was $12, but they only had one, so I paid like $15 for them.
the big one with the 4 tubes was there, it just had 4 dead tubes. One of them was the one from the old garage, and the one over the head washer was there also. So I only had to buy 2 housings, and then all the tubes.
I also go some cheapy $3 extension cords, and hacked them apart to wire the housings in, so they can plug into a wall socket.
