takai’s Garage

Sorted out the mounting today and got it all up in place:

Just used some 50×50 alloy angle that i had lying around spare.

Its mounted to the bracket that holds up the chain for the garage door opener, which in turn is mounted off the spring mount.

None of the stuff up there is remotely square to the roof, except my lights. But that does mean every time i look at the bracket it all looks out. More importantly it all clears the roller door as it moves.

Put some 3M hooks up on the ceiling to clip the wire into, but while im waiting for them to set i temporarily hooked it up to see how it goes:

Casts quite a lot of light for such small things. Well worth the $25 or so each.

Also got around to welding up a clamp holder thing on Boxing Day, which gets the majority of the clamps out of the way:

Those single hooks for the Rackit units are excellent for modifying to hold other things. The powdercoat/crinkle stuff does burn pretty well though.
