i got my electrical done, 2 200amp panels. 15 or so outlets. one permanant inside light for now. outside is 3 torch lights on a photocell and dimmer. there is also a bright *** wall pack for when i really need light out there.

also have money for the floor and drive but am waiting till spring to start that.

security is coming along. i can turn the lights on from the touch screen in the house and the security will turn them on when it goes into alarm. pretty cool i think.

oh yeah, got a 42" plasma, wireless internet and xbox out here too. i am messing with the nova now.

Wow I'm Jealous. I work on my cars in the dirt in the back yard. One day I will have a garage. Probably nowhere as nice as yours though.

speaking of security, my brother took an out side motion set up and ran the lights to the closet in his bed room.
if anyone breaks in to the garage and steps inside the lights come in the closet and a radio comes on to wake him up.
now if you think it wont work, he cought my nephew 4 times trying to take his work truck out for a little joy ride.

ahh, finely!! geting some **** done. this thread is 1.5 years old.







i am very anxious to spread out. driveway might get done next week. then some grading and grass.

the g8 is going into the new garage after the concrete sets up a week. got a pair of turbos on the way. the wagon is ready to go back to the dyno but has been blocked in by the rebar/radiant heat pipes but we will be able to get it out now. lots of fun stuff ahead.

Do you have heated floors? If not what is the spun wire under the re bar?

Awesome garage, I mean MAN cave!
