Stop in for a cup of coffee

The link doesn't open, but I see that those are not the bulb-type LEDs (am I correct?). I rewired had to be over 100 four foot fluorescent
fixtures at our church's school. I have one here that the ballast is dying, probably just get bulbs and rewire that one. just have to figure out the LUM thing
These, I got them from Amazon a 2-pack. They are a sealed LED, I just removed the old light fixture, which was a ballast, and rewired them in their place. I hate the Ballast lights, always a pain in the ***.

our rewiring was taking the ballast out and connecting the "tombstone" wires. I tested each fixture before putting bulbs in. no smoke. but it did "pop" an LED one time

I don't have many left, the old garage has all Ballast lights. I should just buy a bunch and replace them as well and be done with it.............................

"old garage', he-he...it's cleaner and better organized than my "office" room aka junk room. I'd live in that. rewire the fixtures for LED's. that is some loong drain(?) pipe

some updated ones.............looks about the same but more stuff from my FIL stored in there. I also have a container on the other side of the garage for storage. I would like to get another container.

WOW! I like the workbench back wall windows. and even the storage containers are more organized than any area in my garage/storage shed. I envision it that way, like yours. problem is, once I see it in my mind, that's as far as it gets. maybe I need more caffeine in my morning tea...

Thanks Bob! We bought this place in 2019. The previous owner did all the work; he was retired and big into woodworking. I enjoy the organizing part of it for some reason. It may be living in so many places over the years and never being there too long, stuff was everywhere. I enjoy having a place for everything now.
 
Glad you have a place to settle down and get everything in order. for 21 years I was "warehouse worker" and the most enjoyable part was running around on the forklift moving products. slow and old up higher, new and fast moving stuff down low and close to the picking area. if I did that at home, I'd have a lawnmower and gas can at the front of the garage and a small tool box with hand tools. rarely use the other stuff but it's nice to have when you need it. speaking of, better keep cleaning in the junk room. got four boxes reduced to three. let's see what I can accomplish today. Thank-you Scott for the pictures, maybe that will help motivate me.

When I built my Shop/Garage 25 years ago I installed 18 4ft ceiling fixtures. All old school with ballasts. 5 years ago I removed ballasts and rewired them for LED 4ft tubes. One of the smartest things I ever did. Was constantly fighting with tubes and ballasts before the change. Much brighter light and NO maintenance since I did that...

What he isn't telling us is that he is so organized that he only need this 8' x 10' shed!
 
Hey. I don't know if this is the place but there is a bunch of kids that fly up and down my road on 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. Mine is an old road with not even yellow lines. But this morning one of them wrecked and died. I talked to my favorite of the bunch and it wasn't him he said it was his cousin and not sure what happened. This is the third tragedy since Christmas when the father died. I am kind of bummed right now and quit what I was doing. Prayers would be appreciated I am sure. I have no details yet. Happened just about an hour ago.

We will burn sage and send prayers. Those kind of accidents are just heart wrenching.

Sad news Tike....
 
Dog door is shaping up.

Going to put drywall on the inside and paint to match the wall.

Need seals for the hinge side and where the slider meets.

Pin at the bottom and a barrel bolt up top so I can swing it out of the way.

Dog door hint, the door is a consumable item, they wear out! Sadly to replace it often times the exact replacement is no longer an option. When I buy them now I purchase two, one to install and one for parts. I get about two years per door. Your mileage may vary!
