Garage Makeover

I put up the other Gearwall I bought. This will be the toys/balls/stroller area. I also managed to scuff up some of my paint job while putting these up so I'll be fixing that this weekend. I'm starting to get addicted to this whole being organized thing....Frikken Adderall.

Completed another small garage project today.




I installed a Lutron motion sensor switch in the garage. If you drive or walk in, the lights automatically turn on. The wife had mentioned that it would be cool so I made it happen. At first i bought a switch which didn't support the new lights so I ordered this one from Amazon.

Install was a PITA because it's a 3 way switch and I had to basically learn how to wire those to work properly. It included installing a jumper wire on the other switch which is just inside the house prior to the door to the garage. Basically, try something, run downstairs to the breaker box to turn it on, check to see if it worked, then run back down to turn it off, back up to try something else etc etc....

Hugely pumped though, makes things easier.

And I realized I didn't ever show the lights.

One of these on each side of the garage with T8 Daylight Bulbs. I ****ing love these, this pic is taken at dusk so you can't really tell but the garage gets pretty damn bright.





I "jerry rigged" it a bit and ran bulb adapters instead of hard wiring actual outlets in place of them. I wanted to make sure I liked these. That being said, I doubt I will motivate my fat ass to get back up on that ladder and fix it.

Found some time to put up the 30" cabinets. Really impressed with them and easy to install. I'm going to put a workbench under them, add another big gear locker and mount both of those on the wall as well. The first 2 pics have the lighting dulled but i kept the 3rd natural.

Since I don't have a cool car right now, I've turned to glamour shots of my son's POW POW Powerwheels
