Great looking garage Scott! Very nice work and very well thought out. The switches and receptacles are available in grey and red. Let me know if you are interested i own an electrical supply house and could send you a sample of each to see what you like best. The grey i stock red i would need to order but not a problem to get. Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks
John

When it turns cold you may want to monitor your CO levels the first time you turn it on.
Thanks. But fortunately it's a power vent out the sidewall. :thumbsup:

Hmmm, grey. I like that idea. If/when I change the outlets, switches, and covers, I'd like them to blend better to the walls. I'm guessing I can get GFI outlets in grey as well?

The images the photographer were taking looked awesome when reviewing them on his display, he used some creative lighting and put red colored filters on the remote flash for some really cool effects. I'll see if he will give me some of the final product to post.

That's pretty cool! Hope they will give you some of the final prints so we can see all the special stuff they added. :thumbsup:

Yes GFI's come in grey also. Let me know when you are ready. I can send you a sample plate if you like to see how close the color matches. Just pm me your address.
Thanks

She didn't really care. No biggie to her, just another car deal. lol

As for the outlets and covers, etc, that was just the standard off the shelf stuff when I built the garage 8 years ago. John (Bulldog19) sent me a grey outlet cover to test and it looks great, so I'll be ordering new outlets and outlet covers this week.

As long as I'm posting, I finally got the door hardware mounted... which took way longer that I would have guessed. lol Here's some pics.

Once I get the service door trim finished and the new outlet hardware installed, I'll be finished.

It doesn't get much better than that Scott!

EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!

I will stick to my statement though -- that's WAY too nice to be worked in now. Now it's an official SHOWROOM... not a garage... not a shop... and no way would it ever be deemed a shed!


:hail: :hail: :hail:

Hey Scott the garage is looking GREAT!! I stock those handles also but completely forgot about them while you were here. Also if you want a filler to close up the space above the uppers let me know. One more time, Nice job:thumbsup:


PS the cabinets make the whole shop!!:unibrow:
