Hi Alex. I started getting some material to do some wiring. I got 750 ft of 12-2 romex and 18 industrial recepticles with boxes. I also put a second 300w compact flourescent in for now. Its amazing the amount of light from these two bulbs . Right now there is one over each bay. I got the wire off Craiglist in three 250ft coils. With shipping to my house was around $75 ea. which is cheaper then buying them from HD. Its $83 ea plus tax, Saved close to $50. The recepticles came from E bay they cost me with shipping around $4 ea they sell at HD for around $8-9 ea. A couple of weeks ago I saw a set of attic stairs for a 12' cieling Werner 300lb rated aluminum. The budget for the garage and the car are almost non existent now, so it was tuff to spend the money on these but when I checked they sell for over $400 for the 12' set. So I got them.
Here's a picture of the stairs.

This was taken with just the compact flourescents.

Here are the recepticles.

Now I need something pretty to put in there. ZOOM ZOOM !

Wayne -- Run a GFIC as your FIRST receptacle. People don't realize it but concrete can ground you out when you're down on your hands and knees... so you can get your butt kicked with a shorted tool etc.

At least that's what my buddy electrician made me do - for that reason...

Thanks Greg. I only learned about thet a couple of weeks ago so I bought 4- 20amp GFCI breakers for $15 Ea. I used to laugh at my wife for using coupons. Now I'm the craigslist and E Bay king lol.
