    Wiring a pole barn shop.

    Inspector was fine with the building. I bought it from a local pole barn company and they built it. Concrete is done now! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Large, concrete garage floor treatment.

    While doing it all in one shot is probably best, my shop is the same size and I will be doing the same thing at some point. I have nice saw cut joints that I will use to start and stop doing one section at a time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Wiring a pole barn shop.

    Spoke to my inspector. He won’t pass using the emt in place of a ground wire. Not a big deal. I can run a ground. Also said 60 amp is all I can add to my main panel based on the existing load. I think that will be more than sufficient. He was fine with me running the 2-2-4-6 AL feeder. If I...

    Wiring a pole barn shop.

    Thanks for the responses. I'll be working on cars, doing woodworking, and anything else I can dream up to fix, create, or maybe even destroy! So I'm thinking conduit below the trusses as a minimum. Pros and cons of EMT vs PVC? I have bent EMT but it's been awhile. I've also heated and formed...

    Slinding door and Overhead on 30x40x12

    As I’ve continued planning, I feel comfortable with going with the slider. I appreciate the responses as they have helped. In middle TN the temps are fairly mild and the bugs aren’t bad. At least compared to Bemidji, MN where I grew up! I’m not going to be heating or cooling the shop but will...

    Slinding door and Overhead on 30x40x12

    I am a bit concerned about sealing up the slider. Are there other economical ways to get at least 11'6" of clearance door height with a 12' ceiling? I don't want the RV parked in the center as I need that space for auto repairs etc. I'm also considering going out to 36' wide to give me more to...

    Slinding door and Overhead on 30x40x12

    In the planning stages of a 30 wide by 40 deep by 12 high pole barn garage. I want the full 12 high opening for parking a travel trailer but would go 10x10 on the OHD. What's the consensus on putting both of them on the end next to each other. Can the 10x12 1 piece slider open over/across the...
