    Thanks everyone! My contractor "ran out of money", but the good thing was that I had not paid him for about 25% of the job. So I'm just finishing it myself, and it will be 100% the way I want it to. You guys saw the the T21 lights, it will be wired for electric on Wednesday if all goes well.

    Looks great so far, didn't realize it was that big! That truck fits in there nicely.

    It's looking good P1et! It's only large enough for one vehicle at a time right? It doesn't seem like you can fit two vehicles in there.

    Thanks! The pictures are a bit deceiving as I shot them at 18mm, but it's actually an 18x22 garage, with a 16x7 door which is a standard 2-car door. My truck isn't the smallest, but the Explorer should be able to fit next to it with no real issues. Haven't tried it yet though, hahaha!

    My local Home Depot is going out of business, so they are selling everything at very steep discounts as it all must go. November 9th is the last day, and every single week they have an extra 10% off. I bought the four T12 fixtures for $10 a piece and the bulbs were $1 a piece. They had quite a few T8 fixtures as well, but no longer had the bulbs. I spotted the last four T12 fixtures on top of a shelf, they were the last ones! BOOYA!
