Like Derrick said, welcome to the group. Your shop looks like it will be a comfortable place to work. Big improvement over the starting point..

Now the back half of the garage was kinda done I decided to do something with the floor as its uneven and not to nice to stand on really.

Im doing it in 3 parts...I swept and clean it up then primered it...I was going to use 50mm deep base self leveling compound but after seeing how far 3 bags got (£15) a bag I decided to lay cheap cement down first the put the compound over that.

I also put down some thick steel mesh were the mill will stand just for added support
















Then painted it with butimous black paint....

......spent a while making up a wiring harness for the new lights. I used 2 way, 3 way and 4 way junctions boxes. The LED lights are 3 watt each. 240v AC to 12v DC LED drivers. I decided to use a PIR sensor switch to automaticaly
turn these lights on when we enter and to turn straight off when we step out....saves messing about looking for the light switch in a dark garage at night.....Theres also a switch to bypass the sensor to keep the lights on permently if I want....










pleased with these as its not something I do all that much....

I like the auto on/off switch is it 110v , I keep forgetting to turn mine off during the daytime.
That should be a good workspace when it's done, o wait there never done.

no its 240v to 12v same as at the rear of the garage...these LED panels are only 3watt each but are still quite bright.... we dont have 110v house hold power in the uk just 240v 13amp
