I got tired of not having much light in the garage, so I ordered four 16.5 foot LED strips and wired the power inverters into the existing light outlet. Just converted the outlet to a junction box, and wired in the four power inverters up in the attic. I made a HUGE difference.
Here is a picture with the shutter speed and ISO locked so you can actually see the brightness difference.

Not too bad for 2 hours of work and a hundred bucks.

Been fishing Lake Erie for pig smallies the last three weekends. Will be there the next two weekends as well lol. If you've never been there I highly suggest making a trip if you have a boat or know somebody with one. Absolute blast!

I know a lot of people who won't eat bass either. I grew up eating bass but never the big trophy ones . They are just as good as any panfish you'll ever try as long as you don't eat the big pigs. 12 to 16 is the perfect size for an eater largemouth.

Got my fan and beard mounted. Bought a $20 mount kit on eBay. Just gotta get a piece of rawhide so I can string up the spurs. Very happy with how it looks though!!

Well only a week after getting 1/2 our roof replaced due to hail damage.... we got another big hail storm last night. I think the roof handled it alright, but the garden is trashed pretty good. Probably lost about a third of my tomatoes, at least, and all my native ornamentals got thrashed.
