Your breaker is your weakest link so it trips before anything burns up or shorts. #12 is for 20amp breaker #14 is for 15amp breaker.

I have direct tv. The house is 200' to barn, barn is 80' long and tv is at the furthest point. Went with direct burial cable and it works fine.

Built a new workbench

I did half with T1-11 left natural the other half with peg and slat board.

Thanks trailrun, been wanting a barn forever, finally did it and the way I wanted it.

Looks great how did you make your doors for the cabinets under your work bench.

I've been working on my heat inside shop. Just had spray insulation done and epoxy painted the floor. Ran a little 1500 w electric heater last night and we went down to 30 degrees. When I checked the room this morning it kept it at 56 degrees. Slat board, peg board and t-111 panels are next.

I got these 4' 4 bulb LED high bays from prolighting.com. $119 each and it comes with bulbs. My wall hieght is 16' they put out a lot of light great in cold and don't pull much juice. I ll put up12 and only pull 7.2 amps. At menards one 4' led bulb is 20 bucks...

great shop!

Here's a few more pictures making some progress, 75% Electrical done with 4" 4 bulb high bay fixtures. Love the three I put up so far.

I'm interested in a two post.

I'm using a tow motor with a lift cage. Wife's going to run me around and up and down 16' up to hang my lights.
