I'm building a townhouse that will have a relatively huge garage, 25" x 20". Going to epoxy the floors and the two biggest things I haven't figured out are how to light it up and what economy cabinet solution to use.
The garage comes with the standard overhead light in the "front" 1/3 of the garage. I've had the builder install a second light in the last 3rd. Now I want them to be nice and bright when I'm working in the garage. So, I imagine that large, industrial fluorescents are the way to go. But I want to make sure I don't get too much lighting or the wrong kind. Suggestions are welcome.
I want some decent looking cabinets in the garage, but nothing fancy or shabby. I was thinking maybe some cheap-o IKEA ones, but I'm not convinced that's the best solution. I've seen the metal ones from Costco or Home depot, but those seem cheap in terms of quality. Ideas?
I asked the builder to skip putting in a dining room (which goes directly over the garage) to accomodate a lift, but somehow that didn't make it to the final blueprint....
