    Have them run a few ceiling mounted outlets for garage door motors and any ceiling mounted power cords or air hoses.

    Separate room for compressor to keep sound out of the carage.

    I`ll have to get some new pics. The house is sealed up - should be able to go to settlement in 45 days or so.

    Yesterday I brought the builder the garage lights. I went with T8 fixtures that will be flush mounted - 28 bulbs total. Two light switches. One will turn on 4 bulbs only - the other all 28.

    Swanicyouth- That setup with the T8s sounds good. Interesting that they`re flush mounted.

    Maybe flush mounted isn`t the right word. They are mounted directly to the ceiling without swinging from little chains. They will be hard wired in - so you shouldn`t see any wires at all. I`m still learning the lingo.

    I really wanted LEDS, but they just cost too much with all the interior upgrades I`m doing.

    Ah, OK...that`s what I have. I wondered about them being flush-mounted (as in, the fixtures being "inset" into the ceiling) like I have in my basement and kitchen!

    Yeah that would be direct mounted I think. Flush = inset, Direct = right on surface, Hanging = hanging on old school chains kinda eye sores. Swany I am living Vicariously through your build, I get to do my second detached garage this summer and get all the extra stuff out of mine also may add lighting to the attached garage and maybe some type flooring stained or Epoxy.

    Re: Building New House - Garage Features???

    Ah yes...coming along nicely.

    Hey, give some thought to how they finish the ceiling. Mine has a texture to it that seemed OK, even nice looking...but years later I can`t help but think it`s gotta be retaining all sorts of dirt/etc. with no practical way to ever clean it. I mean...it`s a *detailing shop* and builders/etc. don`t know from that. Heh heh, sometimes think that *I* didn`t know from that when signing off on certain things, but eh...live and learn.

    Looking good, I am jealous I had mine sheet rocked last year but they had to work around all the garage door stuff (ceiling and wall mounts and lift mounts) so it looks ok but yours will look much better finished.

    Garage lights are up. Settlement in a few weeks. Couldn`t get a good pic with all the lights.

    Once painted that is going to be one bright garage! Defects don`t stand a chance of hiding...
