What is the difference between the 2 8 foot tubes vs the four 4 foot lights?

Good luck. I have had similar but with my basement walls. Framers did 2 foot centers and no drywall backing. I can't ever catch two studs for a shelf and if you lean into a corner you pop the drywall. :(

Today I had a few minutes and removed the insert and sanded the 2x4s with 220 grit removed all the chalk lines, pencil marks and put a coat of stain on, three coats of lacquer with sanding in between coats. Looks good I think all finished  Don't mind the end. I need to move the tool box to finish that edge Keeping the early morning rolling, the afternoon hours snoring, the late night hours feeling the powers.

Another thought from the other day,
A story type thought. About a monk and his apprentice.
The Chinese monk and apprentice where traveling across the country and got caught in a down pour of rain, they found shelter in a small hut that was occupied by another traveler as well. I very wealthy woman, dressed in fine fine linens and robes. The rain let up the following morning and as the travelers looked out the road was submerged in water well over the bottoms of their robes. The servants were standing in the rain holding up her litter ( the two person carried cart) so that it would not be muddy also. As she complained and gripped about her muddy predicament the monk scooped her up and carried her to the cart and she scolded him for doing so, he continued on his way with the apprentice following swiftly behind.
Hours past and the monk could sense the servants discomfort. He inquired of the reason and the apprentice was frustrated about the way the lady had treated him after he had only helped the woman, nothing but kindness The monks wise words were " I put that woman down hours ago as so should you "
We as people carry to much weight and baggage with us. Life is now and not to be lived in the past. Let go of grudges, forgive this who need forgiven and put down the things in life that hold you back!

So this week i got suckered into buying some fancy bottles. Bottles wit breathers in them claiming they eliminate bubbles and the need to burp said baby. Well both of my boys still get bubbles, still unload there while belly of food about every third bottle just as I was having with the previous el cheapo bottles. Thought or experiences? On the other hand. We got to stop and see great grandpa. He flew the b52 I believe, grandma was a bank manager. Anyway.... Grandpa is the only son of an only son, my father was his only son I am my dads only son. I killed the tradition by doubling down allowing our family lineage to continue. He was so excited to see he posterity. It was a really neat experience plus his Parkinson's helps rock the boys to sleep. Grandpa is the guy who taught me how to farm, taught me how to build and machine and tried to teach me how to be patient (didn't work) He started out as a bottom level machinist at Thiakol, know known as ATK the supplier of NASA all the rocket boosters. Retired there and was referenced in so many patents and tools designed as the lead. the book is four inches thick. This led the way for my father lead down the same path and I am following him. Family lineage is important.

Is it a bad thing to roll over nudge the wife and ask. "Did you feed the boys at all last night?" Her response was great " no I don't think I did at all" as in the bed room I hear the boys screaming like they were going to die. You know that death scream kids get. Well turns out my body was going to sleep through anything and she was on the same plan

Plus you notice the large stack of wood. That's redwood I need to sand with 150 grit then seal before I install on my deck rebuild. I'll be sure to take photos. As a future heads up. Tomorrow Sherwin Williams is having a large sale. Almost 50 % off. Go get your paint fellas

Tonight I wired some power. I stole power from a outlet existing. You can see the grey flex tube running down the middle of the wall. It works. I need to add a bigger breaker.

So yesterday I tried to drop max. I managed to drop him and in the same moment of thinking catch him by the seat of his pants so he didn't land on his head. It worked out good for both of us

No welding for me. I did nix the hinged top. Didn't want a piano hinge the who distance. The compressor can stay put hell or high water :)
I will look for a different plug for the power. I'll also flip my tank fittings to the left side of the tank so it's not in the dark corner. Still a few things to do

I have had a ZT in my pocket. It's a smooth knife but the design is bulky and doesn't blend into a pocket very well. My everyday this past two years has been the Gerber propel down range auto. I love the quality of blade and it sharpens easy enough. I did some modifications like sanding down the rough edges but other then that.    It's been a really nice knife

Ok I lied. I couldn't put away the mess. Needed to finish it. I am sure the neighbors hate me a little after screw guns and skill saw at 11:40pm. Anyway here is all but finished product.   All that is needed no is some shorter screws to attach the top into the 1x1 that the top plate rests on Then I am going to use the same 1 x to frame in some peg board and use it to hang random tools and what not. Also going to look for that new vise and bring and mount my bench grinder. What do you all think? I do have some sanding of edges and then I will stain the 2x4s with the top removed so it gives it some contrast and styles Keeping the early morning rolling, the afternoon hours snoring, the late night hours feeling the powers.

Ok. I moved forward today, I won't be rewiring for the mean time, HOA will not allow any out buildings. Yes I know HOA's suck some times. I managed to get some pretreated birch board. I have designed the bench so I can change tops as needed.  I can set a fresh top in and screw it down with some smaller corner counter sunk screws. The compressor will be able to slide out if needed( heaven forbid) and I think the shelves need to go up higher ten inches or so. As is tonight    Keeping the early morning rolling, the afternoon hours snoring, the late night hours feeling the powers.

How would you all feel about a pig tail cord for 220. As a smaller length of cord? A splice in the wire seems shady. But if I got another four feet or so I could add two more plugs and use sort of an extension cord to flip the compressor around

Man the action on this knife looks so smooth. I want to give it a purchase. In the view of cost and value in knifes. It's not an expensive knife to be sure

I'd flip it around so the pulleys are against the wall to keep little fingers and such outta there.....
As the compressor sits now. In order for me to plug in to power I have to move the dryer and plug in behind that. I have just enough power cord to make the reach if I turned it I would not. However the black shroud has some pretty good coverage Keeping the early morning rolling, the afternoon hours snoring, the late night hours feeling the powers.

What would you define air flow as. ? I had given thought to mounting a fan on the back portion ( cpu size ) for extra air but have since though that would be overkill.

Found a free min.
Ok the from floor to top of the a/c is 37 inches. The widest part of the a/c is 2ft.
The wall and the tool box is seven feet.
The metal shelves are 57 inches from the floor. Now that I look at this I think the bench will have a L shape to is down the side of the garage.

Ok fellas. I have posted this photo before I will again for example  From left to right. Being right side of my black tool box to the wall is 7 feet. 2 feet minimum away from the wall for depth. My plan is to box in my compressor with a work bench. I have since removed the wheels and blocks ( hockey pucks will be here tomorrow ) to save me some height restrictions. 1. What height should I make the bench assuming I have any choice of height I want. Standing. Not sitting 2. What wood from the local Home Depot should I use for my top. 3. Should I do vertical supports to the ground or should I do angled to the wall then I have floor space ? 4.What have you all used in the past to mount a vice to the bench? I have a vice it's kinda small 3 inch jaws. I want a bigger one. Harbor freight cheapos ok? 5. One of my favorite finds was and is my bench grinder it's amazing! What should I do to mount it to my bench? 6.What good ideas can we come up with for the debris that comes out of the back of the grinder? My previous set up made a terrible mess of my painted garage walls and my bench. 7. I want to use peg board on the back wall and maybe screw a sheet of wood to the bottom of the metal cabinet so I can attach a work light of some kind. Changes or other thought I should consider?

dave, I agree with mike here. give them a little something heavy in the tumm tumm when you put them to sleepy and they should be good thru the night.
also, you may want to check your level for warpage.....those shelves look a little off?
I hung them off the square on purpose. That way they can swing to the next higher level, they are about four inches different Keeping the early morning rolling, the afternoon hours snoring, the late night hours feeling the powers.
