I am a BendPak dealer if you want a good qaulity lift!

Light finally came in today. I am very happy with the amount of light in the shop! Turned out great and very cost effective. Plenty of light while working under rigs as well.

Yeah I copied Veno's lighting idea. Ordered the exact same bulbs and reflectors. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38658&page=2 Called to check on the order today and the bulbs were back ordered but should be going out today. I ordered 12 of them incase I want to add a few...

I just ran 200 Amp to my shop. Word of advice, do all the work yourself that you can! I ended up paying $1,600 including a new box, new meter, and materials to run about 250'. We did a 'home upgrade' through the power company they upgraded the house to 320 service. I then took 200 from the...

Got the over head lights wired up. Just waiting for them to come in (hopefully tomorrow) Second bench light where my other bench will be: View from the street:

Thanks for the tips. After the posts about the wiring I had my friend come back out to help me out. Well my buddy Scott (thats an electician) stopped by and after he finished laughing he helped me out... Re-wired that bench light: Added boxes to the exterior lights: Also since I has some...

maxjax, nevermind

Anyone recall the brand of lift that you can install and roll away when not in use? Its a two post.

Wire sit behind the metal, they do not go through. And I have no clue if the connections should be in a box or not. If they do then that is an easy fix.

Updates! Yes it is 2AM and yes I just finished some wiring haha. New meter: Line going to trench to shop: Breaker Box: Hey look, my truck fits! Light Switch location. Switch 1 (there now) is exterior lights. Switch 2 will be part of the overhead lights. Switch 3 will be the rest of...

Yes poured right on compressed fill. Eastern Shore (we live in a sandbox). That and so tools and parts don't fly through them.

Starting to get some stuff settled in... Jeep has found its home inside and started to build a few new benches. More wire, meter, conduit, and box to go in tomorrow. Ran a trench yesterday and got the new wire laid in. Tomorrow the power is being cut to the house. House will be...

Updated. I was told earlier this week they would be out here today. Called this morning and they aren't coming and giving another run around... Highly suggest everyone stays away from Carolina Carports!!!

Used Carolina Carports Inc for my shop but had mixed reviews on their service... From the start I could not get answers on what was needed for my shop as far as my slab goes. Their communication was less than great prior to them coming out to build the shop. Once the shop was up we had a...

Electric update: Going to upgrade the house to 320amp and run 200 off the house to the shop. Boxes and meter came in today. Going to trench and run lines to the shop on Friday. Power company should be here next Monday to swap over head lines. Then I just need to run everything in doors and...

Shop is done (minus one problem). Inspector came today and passed the building! Once the rain stops today I am going to start on the interior (building benches and all) also got to still cut up the trees and limb I removed for the shop. Going to run electric next week hopefully. Who can spot...

No I decided against plumbing. Wasn't going to be worth it right now. My house is about 100 yard away when nature calls.

Carolina Carports. Building, Crete, and Electric should be under $20,000. I did have a friend help with the cement and doing the electric myself with the help of a few friends.
