garage upgrades

[blazinchuck]

well its that time. ive been wanting to make some changes and with a garage thats only 22'x22.5'...space is a must.

here are some pics....the plan is to install a loft, lighting,cabinets

heres the start(before)











installed a dual outlet/flood light switch. the one on the left is another 220v im wiring up for another spot for plasma cutting


now i have light in front of garage!!


and of coarse...kid approved lol




i already had a 4' light fixture ive been saving to use one day...it worked out great mounting under the loft. so i went to lowes to get one more for the left side, but they are discontinued. but they still had one hanging on display, guy said they are taking it down this week and will call me so i get the right matching light for little or nothing....sweet! i didnt want to have to buy 2 more different lights. so far all this upgrading has cost about $300. $160 for the 2"x2"x.089 wall x24'(4 STICKS), bought some brackets,romex,outlet boxes,switches,etc.


as of now...i gained an extra 80 sq ft!!!

plans include building one bench from the compressor to the right wall(roughly 20'), install some cabinets just below the loft, and slowly remove the benches and storage cabinets on the floor that are up against the left wall. will post more pics as new things happen.
