Good advise all. Glad to see I can make it work. Thanks everyone.

I was thinking the same thing. Very cool truck tho.

I am finally getting to the paint stage of my shop build and painting the stripe. Most of the outlets are in the stripe and I would like to paint the faceplates and outlets to match the stripe. Is this possible? How do you make the paint stick to the plastic? Thanks for any tips.

I bought these at a farm auction. I gave 25 bucks for the pair. I was the only bidder. One is missing a handle.

Well I got the wire. I found a electrical supply place about 20 miles away. They didn't stock it there but they did at their main store in Little Rock. One of the guys that works there was going to the main store anyway so he grabbed what I need while there. I went and picked it up today...

I recently bought a used compressor from a guy on cl. I went to check it out and he kicked it on and ran it up to kickoff. 175psi. I looked around and his whole shop air system was plumbed with pvc. I told him I was stepping outside. Holler when he gets it bled down to 0 and I would come back in...

I drove 2 8' ground rods in beside my shop yesterday with a 6 pound hammer. This is quite a feat considering you can't dig almost anywhere on my place with out hitting solid rock. Haven't swung a sledge in years. Can't hardly straighten my arms out today. Ouch! My elbows hurt just thinking about...

SWEET! I was sweating the possibility of having to change out that meter panel. Thank you very much for all your help and patience. :beer: Now if I could just find someplace that sells that cable you recommended by the foot I could change that out and be good to go. All the local places I have...

Ok, I did some research and this is the meter panel I have. https://www.summit.com/store/products/61892 If anyone needs anymore info on it let me know and I will see what I can come up with.

I will try to get a better picture tomorrow while I'm down there. I did get two ground rods drove in and hooked up today for the shop panel. I have not removed the bonding strap in the shop panel yet. I thought I better get the neutral and ground bonded in the main panel before I unhooked that one.

I guess I knew that. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

So. Does this still qualify as the main panel and shop panel as sub or is this just a meter disconnect?

I'm sure yall are. That's become obvious by following your thread. Maybe sometime I will have the honor and pleasure of crossing paths with yall. Until then I will keep an eye on this thread and you're awesome barn build.

If it would help here is the tag on the panel.

No, it was all brand new when I set the pole. The Poco put the meter in when they hooked it up. The meter base and panel are all one piece. They cannot be separated.

I was wondering the same thing about the tape on the GEC. That was done at the time the panel was assembled by an electrician. I bought the panel years ago already assembled with the travel trailer hook ups and took it and set the pole. The POCO came and hooked it up. All that has been changed...

Ok, I got a chance yesterday afternoon to run by and snap a pic of the meter panel. It does not appear to me that the neutral and ground are bonded in this panel. Shouldn't they be? What do I do now? Thanks guys. BTW, I know the breaker supplying the shop (far left breaker) in the meter panel...

I've been watching this build from the start. All I can say is Wow! Awesome job. The Harley pics got me to thinking. About 12 or so years ago my wife and I met a couple at an Abate meeting in Batesville. I can't remember exactly what they were riding but I remember it was a cruiser. I was...

Just to explain what is going on here. When the building was built in late 08 (I finally figured that out) there was an existing pole already in place. It had the travel trailer hook up on it with a extra outlet for outside power. There also was a space for the 100 amp breaker not being used...

Not that lucky. I am quite sure it's the same on both ends. One solid run connecting both panels.
