Not a workshop at all, this is more of a mancave. Have a separate building to do "dirty" work. Also, this will be properly finished including insulation and metal panels.

I am starting to think about blocking out pests from coming into my pole barn. I already put some steel wool in the bigger openings I found. Any recommendations to seal between the slab and the grade board? Would Sikaflex be a good option here?

I told the wife Glenn had a stern message and she is now entertaining pulling power from the house :D. Electrician coming back soon to quote that. It's starting to look like i will need to push it to spring, we'll see. In the meanwhile, I got my project car (74 450 SL that needs some work) got...

Yes, 200. However, wife shot down the idea of messing up the walls inside around the main panel.

I really dislike that I can't progress at the pace I wish I could, but it is what it is. Garage doors done, at least it's usable now and random animals can't get in. Power company wanted $11k to bring a second service so that's not happening. Seems like I will be stuck with only running 40 amps...

Concrete all done. Garage doors ordered and coming in 3-4 weeks. On to decide if I want to pull power from the house or get a second service.

Oh wow, didn't get any alerts so though n one responded. To answer some things: House was built in 2018. At least the house panel was inspected and passed, can't vouch for the other subpanels Load is just a guess. If someone can point me to a good writeup on how to calculate this in a more...

Yes, another one of those. Long story short I built a new pole barn and looking to figure out how to get power to it, it is 150ft away from the house. Current situation is 200 AMP service to the house. The first building (garage) has the bigger subpanel. The second building (barn) has the 2nd...

Minor update: added boards to the higher side, in preparation for concrete 2 weeks out. Major update: inspection passed and certificate of occupancy has been issued. YAY!
