Used to wire Switchgear and Control Panels like that!

On a side note; the Solar cabin we stay at is paneled for 240 volt Generator input. The Solar system is 120 volt, hence the cord out of the Inverter is 120 volt connected to both legs of the Cabin panel. THERE IS NO 240 VOLT APPLIANCES!

Generator have a Ground lug on it somewhere? If it was me I would take the unused Ground wire inside the box and tie that to the Generator. Good Luck getting through the Hurricane!

In the finest of Garage Journal tradition! would you consider a 10 foot door? Go big or Go home!

If the wife wants them all to match the GFI in the room. Guess what you are buying?

If he is like some people, he wants the house the same all the time. Whether he actually has the multiple air conditioning units running or not.

A dual voltage machine for the price you paid for it. Wire for full capacity! As your welding skill increases, the projects will get larger and the full capacity will be needed! Setup a good 10ga 50ft power cord for those jobs where you need to go "mobile". I take my Mig over to my buddies shop...

Very nice "Shop/Garage" for NYC! Do you live in a Burb? I remember the cramped garages behind the Duplexes in Bay Ridge back in the early 80's.

Good thing I use only a hose and or air to clean mine

I read most posts. Got confused when everyone said to fill by weight. They sell cans of refrigerant everywhere with a hose to "DIY" refill your car/truck. How do you know its "Full, not over Full"? Because you may not know how "Low" it is initially??

40x60 with Radiant is probably 6 inch? I would guesstimate it has a thickened edge (beam) to support it? You don't seem to know the history of the pour? By chance are you the 2nd owner?

7 acres? Move the building!

I've been thinking of doing this? I have a ceiling fan I found on the side of the road in my 30 by 32, it is an older pull string model, but is winter/summer reversible.

It was me, I would clean the carb(minmal labor), running and sell it! I have a similar one with a Tecumseh on it that I use to run the water pump when the power goes out. If the Wife can **** and flush, she's happy, I am HAPPY!

A post mentioned Drywall skills. I would cut a hole above the switch box and another at the wall ceiling point. Go up in the overhead (attic?) push the wire down through the wall to the box. Less drywall repair!
