Garage Lighting needed

Garage Lighting needed

It’s been cold and I needed something to do indoors and dry so I decided to work in the garage. It’s hard to believe that a 24×24 2 car garage at a cost of 25k back in 2004 only had 1 light on the back wall. to make matters worse the 2 windows are on the sides not facing the sun.

My other posts shows a back door installed with glass facing the sun, in any case I decided to install 6 recessed lighting can and LED bulbs using a combined 42 watts to operate all 6. I also added LED lights strips on the back wall and added another switch so both sets could be operated independently. Though drilling and running electrical wiring was a little time consuming it was completed in less than 2 days. The garage lighting is much improved now.

Tips for Repairing Rotten Eave Corner: Importance of Addressing Minor Damage

The den corner eave was rotten at the tip the day I moved in, however with all the other work needed I just now got to this a year later.

It’s a lesson all homeowners should be aware of, what looks like a minor repair can turn into much bigger, this hole in the corner actually had damage to 4 boards which had to be replaced. 2 of the longer boards had the rotten section removed and new wood added, the metal roof edge was unscrewed and lifted to allow the new wood to go behind the roof.
