Update . . .
This is more than enough for the planned layout. I'll just leave them in the clamp rack till I need them.

Extra blocks, strap and drill guides will go in a box for future use.

I know photos never capture it correctly, but is that enough light, Glenn? Looks like a bunch of shadows, and not like the surface of the sun. Plus I don't know how old your eyes are.
Also, out of curiosity, what color temperature bulbs did you go with?

Yeah, that is the camera on my iPhone trying to adjust things for me. The picture is not at all accurateOriginally Posted by Alan Lightstone

Also, out of curiosity, what color temperature bulbs did you go with?. I have about 66 lumens per square foot and actually have every other fixture in each string turned off while working in there right now because it is so much light. Having to reduce the amount of light is a good problem to have as a man embracing his declining years
.
I went with 4000k this time around. I used to run 6500k and I really enjoyed the crisp visibility of that temp. I found I had to keep a lot of "regular" lamps on hand to use for material selection and finishing as the 6500k gives a false color read when compared to the environment where most of my furniture lives. I did a quasi-scientific comparison of a range of colors and found the 4000k worked best for me given the desired light output, height, paint color, concrete floor, etc. Obviously my eyes contribute to that.

I chose 4100K for my workshop for the same reasons, although my finishing room has 2700K bulbs as the vast majority of my work goes in homes with that color temperature lighting.
And oh yeah. Having too much light with the ability to turn things down is wonderful. At least for us boomers and above.

In a couple pics above, I believe I see you relaxing and enjoying inspecting your hard work. All the pics are great, but I can truly relate to sitting back and appreciating a job well done - I think it's an important part of the journey. Congrats on the work so far, and can't wait to see the final product!

A little trim around the attic ladder.

Lights in the attic (as opposed to bats in the belfry).

It's moving right along Glenn. Do you have a move-in date?
It looks great!

Thanks Bruce. Once the ducting and associated machine electrical is completed I will start rolling machines in :-)

Regardless of what I'm working on, or at what stage it is, the most asked question is: "When is it going to be finished?" I never have an answer for that one.

The likely honest answer a good percentage of the time is "never". LOL At least on personal projects. They evolve and take on a life of their own. Permanently.

Haven't done a lot the last little while due to an unrelated interruption. I got a little more done on the ducting.

Cut the holes in a couple of wire ways that will mount at the vertical duct drop location in the "middle" of the room.

I left the attic light on . . . again. This should help with that.
