    Planning my next shop! Anyone use SketchUp?

    Learning new software always *****, and can be frustrating when you're trying to do something specific. Take your time, watch the YouTube tutorials. Eventually you'll be breezing through it. Today I plan I designing all the pro rib trim, and metal panels (if it's not already posted on the...

    Planning my next shop! Anyone use SketchUp?

    Hey guys! So in 2015-2016 I built my first shop. a 24x40. This was a HUGE project for me as I had never really built anything larger than a dog house. We sold our house last month and are building new on 16 acres that we already owned. So now I am planning my new shop. Right now I am planning a...

    Wiring a detached garage

    Thanks for the info! I think I've got it figured out...even if it doesn't seem to make total sense. So I'll run a 4 wire cable (hot,hot,neutral, ground) to the garage. The neutral and ground bus bars will be isolated from each other. The ground bus bar will be bonded to the metal panel. All my...

    Wiring a detached garage

    This is the inside of the meter/disconnect. I want to add a 100A breaker to the slot on the top left and run it to my pole barn. That bare copper wire runs out of the back of the panel and attaches to the pole and seems to be buried with the pole. It also goes up to the top of the pole... So...

    Wiring a detached garage

    The house wiring is a separate nightmare all together. I'll probably have to hire an electrician to come in and redo the panels. I have minimal knowledge and it's crazy how some of it was wired. I live out in the country so there are no permits or inspections required, which shows on this house...

    Wiring a detached garage

    Here is the house, with the pole on the right. And to the right some more is the garage. So the house and garage are in opposite directions in relation to the pole. The meter has a breaker box on it. I plan to add a breaker in this box, and run it to a sub panel inside the garage. The back...

    Wiring a detached garage

    Hello everybody. I know this has probably been answered before a million times but I'm looking for some clarification on a few things I just finished building a 24 by 40 pole barn. I'm getting ready to add electrical to it. I've read a lot of threads on here asking about installing grounding...
