So many great ideas for space savings, lighting and storage ideas.

Excellent site! Thank you! I haven't joined the forum there yet, but I just might.

We'll be meeting up at the house again this Wednesday. This time we can take a bit more time to look around, take some measurements and some pictures.

The first time, I was talking with my friend and his wife more than really looking at stuff. So, looking forward to this next visit! I'll also ask more questions as to what he'll allow us to do.

Already, it sounds like he's going to be giving us some pretty decent leeway considering the couple of things I've already asked him... Which is a good thing.

Sounds like we have pretty much free liberty on what we can do to this house, within reason of course. We were told that any upgrades we make on our own, they will deduct that amount off of that month's rent.

I can change/update/upgrade power outlets (mainly for in the soon to be dedicated music/listening room), light switches and associated plates, light fixtures, paint, cabinet hardware, etc, etc.

They will be upgrading and or replacing the ceiling fans, new oven, new thick style window blinds throughout, new door locks throughout, new window screens, new garage door opener, etc, etc.

And as far as the garage is concerned, I was way off on what I remembered about it. It's all cinder block and painted white! I forgot to measure, but I'd guess it's 10' wide and probably at least 25' long. There's no ceiling, just open rafters which is fine. And he's perfectly fine with me loading up the joint with LED lighting everywhere.

Anyway, here's a couple shots of the garage. I can definitely make this work. I'll also be investing in battery powered lawn equipment. No stinky, smelly, messy gas power stuff in here except for my Z or the Fiat. Or... A project car later on.
