[Fot] The garage mahal

[Doug Mitchell]

I plan on having some track lighting in the garage when it is
finished. The spotlight type. I figure that I can slide the
lights and aim them when I am working on the engine compartment.

As others have said, heat and light are important. I also plan
to ring the walls with storage cabinets at 5-6 feet up to the
ceiling. I have 10 foot walls, so 4 feet of cabinets should be
enough. With them mounted high, it may be a pain to get things
in and out, but they will allow me to keep the floor space as
open as possible. Because of building restrictions, I couldn't
enlarge the footprint, but I could add 3 feet to the height.

My suggestions - you can't have too much light, just don't put them all
on one switch.  Sometimes you just need enough light to run in and
grab a tool or something, no sense in firing up a zillion candlepower
just for 13.29 seconds of use.

And as others have said, you can't overdo it on outlets, both electrical
and air.  When I'm working on stuff in the shop, I never want to be
more than a few steps from power, air and paper towels.
