    Think you've had a bad day ??

    On February 23rd, we lost our house to a fire. No one was injured thank God but our dog did perish in the fire. Along with all of our belongings, my entire detailing arsenal was also destroyed and I will now be starting to build it again from scratch. For about 15 years I've been detailing cars, not professionally but for friends and family. I go back to when Mike Phillips was with Meguiars. Anyway, I have to rebuild our home along with the garage so any advice on lighting, etc is always appreciated. It will be a few months until we're able to move back in ...in the meantime, I'll be doing some shopping. So if you think you're having a bad day, look at the picture I posted......thanks for reading this...looking forward to being part of the AutoGeek community.

    Glad to hear no one was hurt though if your family is like mine, we wouldn't know what to do if one of our dogs didn't make it. Hopefully everything turns out for the best for you guys.

    Sorry to hear that. I cant even imagine the heartache and hassle this must be.

    As far as lighting, check out High Bay Lighting | Industrial LED Lighting | Big Ass Light They are LED lights for the garage and are AWESOME. Of course they are not inexpensive, but the old saying you get what you pay for applies here.

    Thanks everyone...you're all correct, it's painful, a hassle, a heartache, and a big fat slap to the face to make you realize that just because life is cruising along just fine for years, one day, it can all change. I appreciate the kind words of support. Really I do.
