PT3 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Added ANOTHER ligtht! Lol. So now I have a total quantity of (18) 4' long, 32 watt, 6500k T8 bulbs in my 19' x11' single car garage. And it's PERFECT! TheWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Looks good, Phil. Great way to mount the light on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT3 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Put up another shelf, primarily for oil. Put a piece of plastic on the wall to protect from the seat wheels. It will be painted to match the wall. Also...purchased all new matching 5-gallon buckets and delegated the lowes and HD buckets to 'other'. Got pretty much everything labeled as well. mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT3 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Looks good, Phil. Great way to mount the light on the wall. Thanks Dan! But I can't take full credit for it. My contractor and I collectively came up with it. The metal shroud is certainly strong enough and it gets the light where I want it. Thanks again!

PT3 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Nice to see you got some decals for your buckets! You know...... I had gotten them a little while ago and wasn't sure what I would use them on. The buckets were aaa PERFECT spot! landshark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenWS6 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 That looks great. I am going to steal some of your work to use in my garage to help organize it better. PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenWS6 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 For sure. I've been looking around the garage trying to decide where to put some wall mount cabinets. Right now I'm waiting for my 16' long x 12' wide storage shed to be built for my back yard to get the kayaks, lawn mowers, and 4 wheelers out of the garage. So I've been thinking about how to hang the fishing poles and things on the walls. PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start up a thread and start posting pics. Others may have ideas for your situation as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT3 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Was in the garage til midnight... Put a coat of Brilliant Glaze on. Quite possibly my new favorite product since I can apply it all the time! Lol Ricky Bobby, TheWolf and Texas Moe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT3 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Just a few pics of where the garage is currently. Been making small changes as I work in there more often and see what works better. TheWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT3 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Also...I'm I'm the process of having my contractor install a in wall heater next to the hose bib. And had him insulate the door. This way I can leave all my stuff in there without it freezing. I think I'll also add a high power fan for the summer.

TheWolf Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This Air King fan works great. The support is DIY, so it would extend out in front of the door opening. Mazzdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Phil you will like a fan in the summer months. Dan I do like how you mounted your fan. Did not think of mounting it that way. I ended up mounting mine in the ceiling and to pull the hottest air out of the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up mounting mine in the ceiling and to pull the hottest air out of the garage. The mount I built allows me to rotate the fan 180 degrees, so I can move air into the garage, or spin it and move air out. The moving air out works good when detailing, so you are not stirring up dust with strong air flow. The fan also has three speeds. Air King 9020. $126 on Amazon.

Does it slide out from the wall to in front of the garage bay opening? Then slide back when not in use? I really like the idea of being able to use it for exhaust as well! As always Dan, nicely done! efroeh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolf Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks Phil. No, the fan mount is fixed. It is mounted over a stationary woodworking tool, so it is not in the walking pathway. I do think the mount could be built differently to either pivot out of the way, or slide back. PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWolf Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 While we are waiting for Dan to post some pics... Sorry Phil, I forgot to take the pics last weekend. The mounting arm is a piece of pre-punch tube from the hardware store. I attached it to the wall with two angle brackets. I picked brackets that had a hole pattern that matched the tube. I also supported the arm from the existing garage door track using a bolt and a spacer tube. I used some rubber, vinyl and steel washers between the fan mount and the arm, and also under the head of the bolt so it would pivot easily. I ran the cord inside of the tube and then down the wall to an outlet. Any questions? mc2hill, PT3 and 694doorbird 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
