So now that I have the garage back .......

[LastDetail]

Since my mechanic roomate moved out and Suzanne is moving in, I get the garage back. = Detailing Paradise. I am thinking that I am going to seal the floor with U-Coat-It. and paint the walls. Should come out pretty nice.
However there is something that is giving me problems. I want to put some retractable extension cords in the joists so that I can have pull-down cords on both sides of the car while detailing so I don't get tangled up in a long extension cord. These things are IMPOSSIBLE to find. I checked Lowes, Home Depot and Harbor Freight. Nobody has them. The closest I came was one that had a drop-light attached with an outlet.

So anybody know where I can find these? Or if they are even worthwhile to use?

I'm pretty sure this is what your looking for.

It's nice how it locks so it's not trying to pull back until you want it to. I think this item just got added to my want list.

EDIT:Here are a couple more expensive ones.

And this one has a light built in, but has an outlet. It's got 70 feet of cord, which it pretty good.

Oh sweet! That is exactly what I was looking for.
Looks like Sears has the better bargain at $32.
Thanks guys! Look out garage, prepare for organization & ease of use!
