To satisfy my lighted entry requirement I plan to install a post lamp outside my north entry but have never done an outdoor install of any kind. I plan to run 14/2 UF to the light from the extra conduit I had installed when the floor was poured although I will not run the wire in conduit once I...

I checked out the 56" box at HF the other day and the top of the top box seems very shallow. Curious what you guys store up there and still manage to shut the lid? Tried looking through the "show your toolbox" posts but didn't see any with my speed through. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

I'm wiring up my pole barn and know I need GFCI for my outlets but do I need GFCI for the light circuit too? I only plan to add a GFCI at the start of my outlet runs and work off that one. So thus far I will need 2 GFCI's for my outlet runs (one run going left of the panel and one run going to...

I would just like some clarification prior to wiring my shop that I am understanding everything correctly. Not sure how you guys can read those code books. I plan to use 12 ga wire for everything, mainly cause I have a large roll of 12-3 nm-b now and figure their is no point in going any...

So long story short I recently discovered the wire I had an electrician install 2 years ago is to small for the service he was suppose to be installing it for. I asked for the electrician to install a 100 amp sub panel in my barn which is around 230' from the panel in the house. I wanted 240...

The new shop is about finished, just waiting on concrete, garage doors, and for me to get it wired up. I started out with a 46x50x16 building with the south end open but a wind storm last year shifted the whole structure so it was time to get a new one. The new building has the main section at...

So I tried a search and only came up with LED in shops with 10' or less ceilings or non LED in anything higher then 10'. I am looking to put LED lights in my shop which is 40x48x16. I would prefer to go with LED as I prefer LED lighting over the fluorescent as the shop will not be heated and...

I have a shop going up soon and I will be installing the service to it from my house panel. It will be a 100a panel. The building will have a concrete floor with footings (the slab will have vapor barrier under it). I forgot to ask what size rebar will be used for the footing but if I...

I have this flex head 3/8" drive ratchet that was my dads and the head is missing a piece or two and I would like to see if I can rebuild it but I don't know who made the ratchet to know where to look for a rebuild kit. I am hoping someone may have an idea. No idea on age of the ratchet. It...

I will be building a shop next year and can't figure out what is a better way to go with the electrical coming into the building. Should I put conduit in the floor when its poured and run it in that way or get it up to the building and bring it up in conduit and go through the metal wall? The...

Curious if anyone has a 40x60 or similar shop with the garage door on the ends instead of the front? I am considering putting an overhead door on each end of the 40' wide section towards the north wall allowing for a drive through but also allowing me to maintain a bigger section of the 40'...

Curious who has a drive through shop or wished they would have had a drive through shop. I am building a 46x50 shop next year and debating whether I want to do a drive through or not. The door on the east side of the building will be next to the north wall and if I did drive through would be...

So long story short my 46x50x14 barn is getting replaced due to storm damage and I am looking for ideas on how to do the new one. The current setup had the south side open like a lean to and I want something fully enclosed but having a lean to as well. So here's my dilemma and I will try and...
