First project!
Posted by Wayne
Technically the first project I did upon moving into the house was to install fluorescent lighting in the garage. There was only a single light bulb mounted in the center of the garage hooked to a switch by the door. I can’t believe the house was around for 26 years and no one ever lived in it that wanted to do any real work in the garage! To keep things simple I just bought an electrical socket that screws into an existing light bulb socket and I hung several 48″ fluorescent plugged into that. I’m toying with the idea of finishing the garage someday and I’d do a real rewiring job at that point. For now, it is as bright as day in the garage and that’s good enough. You’ve got to have priorities.
