Early 2019 my wife and I decided to explore having solar panels installed on the south facing roof of the shop. We interviewed several companies and eventually decided on one. We installed a 9.6KW system. This consisted of 30 panels, 1 inverter and power optimizers. I will have to say the...

Thanks!

Here is a continuation of the electrical installation. This was a slow and tedious task. This was also the last major project until fall. I had to spend time regrading my yard and working on house projects. Here was one (of many) of my electrical purchases. I opted to purchase Prime...

That's the one!

It was not polished, they just put a sealer down.

Time for the next update. All the work before this was by the contractor, from here forward all will be done by myself, except for the solar panels. When the building was done and before concrete I put 3/4" conduit below the slab. I ran conduits to every wall with a few spares. This is one of...

agreed. I have been working from home in my shop. It is nice to have somewhere that is quiet.

The next post will show the concrete floors and yes, it will be insulated.

After the water situation was fixed the build went really quick. I think it took them around 6 working days.

Yes it was and still is. It still comes out as a trickle. It always picks up after a big rain.

This is what I used. https://www.homedepot.com/p/GRK-Fasteners-8-x-2-1-2-in-Star-Drive-Low-Profile-Washer-Head-Wood-Cabinet-Screw-100-per-Pack-113079/203525221

In late December of 2018 my guy came out to site work. He had to demo my old building and pad as well as build up the site and put down gravel. Demo Day!!!!!!!! Site Prep The gravel is about the dimensions of the shop. A few weeks later the builder showed up and this is where the...

I am going to skip the next few months and pretend like I did not do anything on the house (furnace, windows, doors, attic insulation, cleaning up our land, etc..). I will get to the meat and potatoes of what you all want to see. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:THE SHOP...

Here is a picture of the backsplash. At this point, things around the house slowed down a bit as we decided to move in. We spent a lot of time outside. I did start working on the laundry room as it was awful and the walls were not insulated. We pushed part one of the walls a few feet into...

Thanks!

It actually my first time building cabinets, but my buddy does it on the side in his shop. He recently bought a Shop Sabre Pro. For economy jobs he can cut 1 piece MDF doors.

I don't know the price, but if I were to guess it would be in the $20k range.

It took roughly 3 weekends to build the cabinets. That was working until 2 in the morning and back at it by 8am. Here is how they turned out. Well, first a picture of the pantry pullouts, because I forgot to include them before.

Now that the hardwood floors have been installed, I started working on my cabinets and trim. The trim I built at the house. This consisted in routing a chamfered edge and building plinth blocks out of 5/4. I think built a temporary spray area in the basement and proceed to spray all the trim...
