In June 2018, when we rented a scissor lift and installed new glass in three of the courtyard lights, we completed another big project: Agent Smith and I replaced the lighting in the garage.
1. When we originally viewed the house before purchasing it. You can see one of the lighting fixtures hanging from the ceiling. There were two such fixtures and they didn’t provide a heck of a lot of light, especially at night.
2. The overhead lights were just simple metal shades with a single bulb. After much research, Agent Smith found some better options: two Aididing bay lights and a Hero light from Hyperlite for the work area.
3. The end result is a huge improvement. Some recent shots (as in “I just took them a few minutes ago for this post”) of the garage.
4. Agent Smith has revamped the southwest corner. Here’s the original listing photo of the garage interior; the old fridge and some of the cabinetry is long gone. Agent Smith also added some peg boards, and found a nice large tool chest at Harbor Freight.
5. A current shot of that corner. The garage is heavily used, and bright lights were really worth installing.
6. Lastly, a panorama of the garage space. If you look carefully you can see the newly acquired racecar way in the back of the shot, but more on that later.
