Shop Lighting

I spent most of the day today completing a few things around the house, but I did get enough time to install a couple new light fixtures in the shop... and what a huge difference they make! I just installed two 4-foot T8 fluorescent fixtures, but they made the shop much brighter than I expected. In the process, I only zapped myself once and tripped one breaker... apparently the lights aren't on the circuit I thought they were. I'm here to tell you all about it though... I'll call it a success!


The two lights closest to the wall are the new ones

This picture doesn't really do it justice, but you can tell some difference
by looking at the pictures I put up yesterday... much brighter!

I hope to get my air compressor purchased tomorrow and start working on getting that all set up... and play with my air tools, of course! If I have enough time, I may work at constructing a third workbench. I plan to make this one a bit smaller and with casters so I can roll it around the shop. I also still need to figure out a plans holder, so I'll see what I can come up with in the next couple days for that.
