Y'all know by now that Puddinpop and I are in our new house... needless to say the garage needs some love. I've done somethings already but I'm just curious to see if there's anything I'm missing or any insight yall have...

I've added the beer fridge, tool box, pegboard, fan, led drop light, and made a shelf for the wall (not mounted yet)
Next up is a cabinet, work table, and wiring more plugs (including two 220 plugs).

lights, oh the lighting sucks.... advice? Not looking to spend to too much but....

Pics:

last pic shows the shelf that will be wall mounted.... when I stop being lazy

That's what I did. I also suggest coating your floor now before it gets stains in it.

Probably doing this... Might upgrade to leds for those later when $$ allows. The wiring is easy I'm not worried about that; I just need the housings
