    There is benches and a lot of shelving already which is pretty cool:








    But the thing was it really needed lighting and after I got into it the electrical was everyone's cob job.Given the great rent deal I got,I decided I was going to fix it.

    Nope not yet............still more

    seems like a great space Gary! Is it close to where you live? Time to fill it with projects!

    So all that was there for lighting was three mixed overhead lights that was being turned on and off by the breakers in a open box:



    One of the cheapest lighting out there is florescence(sp) and there is a ton of that used around.So over the benches I screwed these each on their own switch two the pair over the main bench and the single over the second bench that will be used as a "clean" bench"





    I also ran off the correct 20amp breaker two four plug gang boxes for convenient locations.



    Nope-not yet guys.............still more

    I took a page from body shops for the lighting on the other wall with a four plug gang box every 8' and each light on it's own switch to create somewhat of zone lighting and save on the power bill:







    I am pretty pleased with the results.

    Just alittle more guys............please hang on
    Good Bye

    I found that up the road I have some really good neighbors.





    That is pretty much it for the shop for now.

    Thanks for waiting.
    Good Bye
