    No progress this weekend. Started to feel like crap. That and the heater I bought is junk. Just don't like it so I am going to get my electrician here and have some better lighting and heater installed.

    Can't see any of your pictures. Those sound like good improvements to your work area. If you're using flourescents, hang them as low as they'll go without bumping your head. Made a big difference in my shop as they were too high up.

    You should have no problems with brightness, then. I still use flourescent lights. If it gets down to a certain temperature, though, they hardly work at all :eek:. I use LED flashlights to suppliment my lighting. Have one that has it's own stand and a swivel top. Best light I ever had.

    Yeah that is one thing that my garage seriously lacks is good light and heat. There are just too many things that I do in there and I am always struggling to see. Hopefully tonight I will be ab k E to get back at disassembly. I need to bring the snowblower in for a bit of work then I should be able to get back in there.

    I guess there has been a change of plans. For my garage we are going with t5 florescent lighting. Should be a lot of light. That gets done tomorrow.

    Mine is all fluorescence lighting. I use the 4 foot shop light tubes and I have four 100 watt screw in fluorescent bulbs as well. Those suckers are bright and last forever.

    Nope, try just using bike talk to post your pics. If there to large than your camera or phone pics pixels are set to large. What are you using to take pictures with?

    What type of phone and do you have pic resizing. Or put them on your computer and try posting from there. My iPhone many times won't post pictures either but if they are transferred to my IPad they work.

    It is in the Tapatalk app. I have tried to resize and attach but it still won't let it. All of my pics from the last year have been loaded from my phone and without resizing. This just started a couple of updates ago.
