...but until then, it's nice and shiny! I spent a good portion of the weekend and today (I took today -- Monday -- off as a mental health day) working out in the garage sorting tools and setting up the new area. All the tools are now properly stowed and ready for working. I also pulled down the old bench and cleared out that area. I'm ready to go! First up is rear hubs...

I still need to run more power to the bench, and add in one more light. It's workable as is, just needs a few more outlets to be fully functional.

Yes, that's the BCF on the garage laptop.

Hmmm.... If only I didn't have to share my home garage with my wife's car and her work supplies, the dog, the kid's bikes, the wife's bicycles, gardening supplies, the mower, etc.

... anyway, it looks like you are all set. Good Job!

Thanks for the tip, Tony. I'll be running a new circuit from the breaker box anyways, but I like that long outlet strip.

It's all about maximizing usable space. Wife's truck fits just fine (I moved the mower and snowblower to a shed outside), and with some work I'll be able to get my car inside as well.
