My wife's forever office

[scout4bta]

The wife wanted me to wire her office first as my workshop would take longer and she didn't mind that hers would the done on the learning curve.
I've rewired stick built homes but never touched conduit. So I present my first example of pure amateur work with conduit.
Her office is 28' x 14'. The building was contracted, the only work I did on the building was write the check.
The lighting is LED 1700 lumen @ 4100K. The lamps are 8.5' above the floor.

For a first time doing conduit....that is pretty f'ing good.

Hey....I know some 'Breaking Bad' type dudes who would love to use that 'She Shed'

Joking....

But it does look all alone out there.

As you can see by the black sharpie marks pure amateur.

This last bend(s) was the most challenging. I had lots of practice pieces (scrap) to play with, just started adding pieces and found 2 that did the job. Love those unions.
I have to admit that I do have prior experience in bending hydraulic tubing for aircraft. My uncle (Sam) taught me the skill and after a few weeks of training sent me off to fix airplanes.
edit: I did contemplate using "flex" conduit but just couldn't do it.

Don't worry, the 'she shed' is not alone.

That looks really good. The black marker will come right off with a solvent.

And... get some Goo-Gone and remove the sticker on that J-Box cover.

She was smart to have you do her space first. The job is fine for a workshop that the space looks like. Then you can do a little better job on your space because yours will probably always be visible.
If it is going to be a true office then she is going to want walls, more windows and probably HVAC along with ethernet and maybe tv

Her office is for software development and sewing. Lights off when using the computer(s) and lights on when doing sewing. HVAC, probably a mini split heat pump.
