Power Boxes and Industrial Carpet

[Dillon Poole]

Closing on my new gara.. errr house end of next month and want to dive right into building the garage. I`ve already planned on going with industrial vinyl tiles due to the ease of replacing individual tiles and also debating a car pad to protect the tile in winter, any ideas there?



I`m planning on going with 4 sets of 8` flourescent lights in the garage (typical 2 car garage) and 4-6 can lights for a workshop area to one side (planning on storing one car in garage). I can run the wiring through the attic but I`m trying to decide how to get it all wired and to a switch. I`m likely going to put a breaker box in the attic, 1 breaker for the flourescents, another for the cans then run metal piping (painted to match wall color) to switches that will be outside of the walls (don`t want to mess with drywall). Anybody have experience doing this I`d love to hear tips or writeups, etc.



For the workshop I want to put industrial grade carpet down since I won`t be parking on it. I`m not exactly sure how to put carpet down on concrete so some tips on carpet types and how to put it down would be great.



I`ll be posting pictures of the progress, can`t wait
