Siding is going on. The windows and walk through doors are installed. Getting closer to move in day!

The porch is all framed up and the roof is starting to get installed. Just a couple more pictures.

Just an update for everyone. I cut out the leaky joint and redid it all. No more leaks! Thanks

I don't really know what I want out there. I'm not looking to rebuild engines in the dark on the proch, just light it up. Maybe 7 - 6" 65watters?

I have a wrap around porch on my new building and was wondering how I decide how many can lights I should install on it. It's L shaped like the drawing below, and has an 8' ceiling. I was thinking seven lights down the center, evenly spaced, around 6' apart. Should I put them all on the same...

We now have roof trusses installed. and lots of bracing to the wind this weekend.

Ok, got the rest of the perlins nailed on and all the walls are braced up. Should be getting the roof truss's set on with the crane today. Then we'll see how big it really is. Aaron

I went around my house and wrote down the volts and amps (or watts) for all the stuff in my house. Can you tell me how to do the load calculation? Some appliances listed amps and others listed watts or Kilowatts. How do I convert one or the other to get them all on the same page? The heat in...

Got all the walls framed up as the rain came in. Roof truss's are here too. Here's a blurry picture.

I guess I'll have to find out. I could always go through the wall and add a breaker in the house panel. I guess I better figure out how to do the load calculation first.

I guess you can double tap the meter. The electrician I talked to is the one that suggested this method.

Here's the meter.

I'm building a new shop and am trying to decide what kind of power I need. I know I will have: 30 amp RV outlet (the wife like to turn the A/C on when packing up to go camping) Air compressor says I need a 40 amp breaker Rotary two post lift says 25 amp currently using a 120 volt mig, but will...

Got some walls standing this week.

2" hd foam goes down, then the PEX tubing, and the floor is poured. Luckily the leaves didn't start blowing until the concrete was setting up.

foundation dug, laying electrical conduit and water line, foudation walls are poured.

I've been lurking here for quite a few years. I am finally building my shop/storage barn for my 5th wheel camper and my Mopars. Details: It's 72'x48' building with a 15' ceiling, that will have radiant tubing in the 5" concrete floor. I will be using it to store my cars, camper, and all that...

I just poured my floor yesterday. 3400 sq ft. I ripped the 2" foam into 8" peices with a 45 degree cut on one end. then I laid it against the wall 1/2" below floor level. Then I laid the 4'x8' sheets over the entire floor. I liked this method, because the insulation doesn't show after the...

Everything is 1" white sch 40 PVC. I used the purple primer and glue on both the chk valve and the 1" pipe. The leak is where I glued in a check valve. So I cannot really cut it out, without buying a new check valve. Wish I had a picture.

i used the purple primer and the clear solvant. I guess I'll cut it apart. Thanks
