Painting the inside of the garage is finished, and now I want to keep everything out because it looks so nice! But it will fill up with bicycles, mower, trash and recycle bins, and of course JUNK. But there will always be room for automobiles. The outside still looks like construction in progress so that will be fixed over the course of time (and that time is coming up very soon.) Bright light streams in from the doors at each end allowing for a darker color on the walls, but I kept a white ceiling.
I'll finish installing the outlets in the next day or two, then come up with an idea for LED lights on the ceiling. That's all for today, short and sweet. Cheers.

Everything finally came together yesterday to get working underground power. The utility company came and connected the new meter to the junction box that sits in the back corner of our lot. They also took out the overhead line (of course) and the old metal pole that used to connect directly to the house. Here's a picture of the new meter with the feeder lines going to the house and the shop. It might be boring to look at for you, but it's exciting to me! The garage doors were installed on the same day. It looked like a regular construction zone around here, with all the trucks on the street out front. We got the same overhead door style as the shop - which is great because the acrylic windows let in a huge amount of light. You can see how I'm progressing with the tape and mud on the drywall. Pretty soon it'll be ready for paint. The front door is big enough for 2 cars and the back door is sized for a trailer. Getting ready to be all bundled up, there's pass through door which leads to the stairs up to the deck. Door knob yes, deadbolt not yet. Diane has specified a new swanky door, but that will come along when there's time to spare. In the meantime, it's a Home Depot special. And now, for the ultimate in modern garage life....
