    Turn on the lights, or start a small camp fire.

    This should lift your spirits.

        You can get a cheap plastic drop light from auto zone for like $6. Does your house not have a lamp you can use?

              trouble light with one of those 'shop-quality' fluorescent bulbs.

              good investment.

                        My garage had terrible lighting, only two 60 watt bulbs in a 2.5 stall garage, I picked up one of those hanging lights that has two florescent bulbs, it was around 20 bucks at menards. I set it up right above my stall and it made a huge difference.
