GARAGE!!!! Finally closed on a new home!!

If you want more light to temporarily hold you over, do what I did:

Go to Wal-Mart or a local hardware store and buy a single-to-dual light socket splitter (found in the hardware department for just a couple bucks).

Then go over to the light bulb department and get two 100-watt equivalent fluorescent standard socket bulbs like these:
You'll be using less electricity with twice the output of one standard 100 watt bulb, and the light will be cast more uniformly in the garage since they face opposite directions.

Thanks for the tip WSU and Silverlexus. My brother does electrician work and he said he could put in a few more outlets and tie four additional flourescents to the main switch. I was thinking three across the middle and one along the back like this.

What do you guys think?

Dont forget tot take into consideration how far into the garage the door travels when its open. I assume most of your detailing will be done with the door open (weather permitting)? Otherwise I think your layout should provide great lighting for your garage.

Nice, adding additional outlets can be a do it yourself project. Especially if your bro can help. Lighing can be tricky with such a high mounted garage door. Maybe some recessed haolgen cans 6-8 on 2 seperate switches would be nice. Good lucj with your project. We love pics so please keep them coming.

I am from Oklahoma too. Claremore, OK to be exact. I just happen to live in Lumberton, Texas now. I moved away 2 1/2 years ago. Tulsa is very easy to get around. Much easier than Oklahoma City.

Well, I guess it's just what you're used to. I've been living in the OKC metro area for 10+ years and I know it like the back of my hand. I suppose Tulsa would be the same if I stayed there for a while too. But for now, I need onstar or something to get around Tulsa.

It is easy to find your way around tulsa. It is laid out in a square mile grid pattern. OKC is much more difficult to get around. Of course I am from the Tulsa area (Claremore to be exact). I have spent some time in the OKC area too (Edmond, Yukon). My uncle lives in Edmond and my brother graduated from UCO. My brother also lived in Yukon for about ten years while coaching at Choctaw and Putnam City. No offense, but Tulsa is much prettier too.

BTW, nice house. Edmond is a very nice area.
