It shows, I like the quick decisions about lighting and organization. As an IT guy I worked with would say, it's "way gooder" now.and its off the workbench! Now to find it a home.ģ garages in 12 years, wow you're a veteran.
Old ones had no strain relief on the clamps and had badly frayed and the cables were always too short anyway so sacrificed a set of jumper cables for the new leads. Most of the effort right now is still in trying to find homes for much of the stuff and kick the stuff that doesn't belong in the garage.for anyone familiar with the "5S" concept of factory organization I'm going to be solidly in the first two S's for awhile.but while sorting thru the workbench and working to set in place some stuff did knock out a holder for the box of gloves I had been moving from place to place so its now out of the way and in a convenient spot.Īlso got a long overdue project finished up of upgrading the battery charger with new leads. Sent from my SM-N986U1 using The Garage Journal mobile appĪnother slow progress weekend.after a week of cold and damp in the midwest it got back to 70's which was awesome but meant bunch of other priorities and not much garage time.oh well. Some more work to do on the organizing front before I can get the unit on the left empty to allow it to come down and make way for the future workbench/miter station/French cleat wall/overhead storage Worked for the prior tenants but wasn't going to meet my needs so out it goes. One of the neighbors coordinated a large aerator rental, so went in on that and got everything flagged to prepare for aerating.got that done and now next weekend is seeder rental so that we can hopefully rid ourselves of the dead spots that developed while the house was on the market.ĭuring some dead time after bed time did get another one of the original wood "shelving units" that came with the house down. One of the reasons we bought this house was the large yard but also means significant upkeep. First time I've had a sprinkler system and got tired of having rotators that didn't rotate and with no knowledge of how old anything was.got 19 of them replaced and adjusted across Friday evening and Saturday morning. Joys of a "new to us" house are that projects are everywhere.this weekend the main project has been yard work. I don't honestly know what the final configuration is going to be, or how the garage is going to be laid out but as I had (3) current single bulbs with junction boxes already wired I took the quick and dirty approach and ordered 3 lights and swapped them out in the existing locations to see what I thought.įirst light arrived.I knew they'd be smaller than my prior 4' at least in length but still surprised with how many lumens they were saying would come out of this: Over the prior months I'd been lurking in the lighting forum and knew the 4' 2-bulb LED lights weren't the recommended solution for a 9 or 10' ceiling and ended up going with this 15k lumen highway fixture: I'm on the way with the initial storage and getting "non-tool stuff" out of the space or at least out of the way so it was time to work on lighting. Built them in pairs as I didn't have space to build them all up then mount them allīased on my learnings on the prior garages there were a couple things I knew I wanted to get done quickly as it made the time in it not just more efficient but also more enjoyable: Complete overkill on the top, aside from being 3/4" plywood I also glued it with construction adhesive and used the coil nailer and nailed the top on at roughly 8" centers.cause hey it's really easy to put nails in with a coil nailer!įirst 2 assembled prior on the table prior to getting muscled up. Went with 24 x 96" top dimensions made out of a 2x3 framework with 1 center support and 3/4" plywood top as I already had 5 sheets of it. Pretty basic, based on how they framed out the door the garage door header was proud of the sheetrock around 3/4" so it presented a great lip/ledger to set the back edge of the shelf on. No such luck here, but the 9-10' garage ceilings presented a great opportunity for storage space of those bulky or not often used items so it was time to make some shelves. Prior house had a very nice attic with great access and a finished floor so all the sometimes used totes went there. It was quickly apparent(and something we had expected would happen) that we needed more "tote" type storage.
