Swung by Lowes and Home Depot today to window shop...I know they're usually not the best price points if you have time to wait for shipping from elsewhere, but holy hell they were wild compared to online sites. Who are the preferred/reliable online lighting dealers?

Was thinking the front half (vehicle maintenance) and back half (woodshop) on different circuits, though I suspect if one goes out I won't use the other half much until I've repaired them all. Also plan on having a deep freezer out there on its own circuit, outlets on one, a dedicated outlet...

I'll have to do that math when I figure out the lights I'm using and how many. I'm guessing around 8-10 given the ~650 square footage.

I would imagine storage fees add up quick, as well

Thanks. Yeah, lots of ingress and egress points. Wsa thinking conduit but this might work better, already a lot of pre-drilled holes in the beams along the walls from the last time there was wiring in there, they're big enough to fit this it seems

No worries...I posted pics in my question in the lighting forum!

Greetings. I bought a house in New England a couple years ago with a detached barn/garage. At some point, it was expanded, and the extension was build around the other building, so it looks like a barn eating another barn and has some unique attributes to work around - namely, three different...

Howdy, new guy here finally getting around to finishing a project. A couple years ago I bought a house in New England with a detached barn/garage. This thing is a bit weird, and looks like a barn eating another barn. At some point an owner just built an extension around the existing building...
