Thanks Ax! Just picked up another diamond plate flourescent light to match the one I already had and mounted over the workbench. Picked up two steel caged light fixtures for the "over the car" work area and I'll probably add two more for a total of four.
I just took a couple of 4X8 3/4 plywood sheets and cut them in half for the bench and back splash. I used cut down 4x4's for legs and nailed it to the wall.
Rumble, that's way too easy and I just like to make make life hard now in anticipation of it getting easier later, lol! No nails in this sucker. All screws and bolts. The top can be easily changed out as I used 3/4" plywood for the base and polyurathaned 3/4" norboard for the work top and fastened it from the bottom with 1 1/4" deck screws. As a matter of fact, the whole bench can be dissasembled with #2 phillps in a drill and two 1/2" wrenches.
I never had a 2-level bench but I've had two benches at two different levels. :toothy10: This is going to work out really well.
