I usually step up the gauge one higher than necessary for larger loads. It lets me change the plug if I need to later... 8/3 with a ground should cover you for future usage.

I believe it is a similar product. Best to contact them. Barry North Florida

Their system allows you to raise the post. The smaller system can be rented/shipped to you. I would have used them but they don't go down to 4x4. Barry North Florida

I'll be different. It depends upon the distance. I didn't see that listed. I like having a switch in the garage IF it's needed. If not, run 4 wires out there. I love having a spare... Barry North Florida

The S3 Winder is a lot safer than what I've done before! Thanks for the link! Barry North Florida

Maybe you did fill out your profile but the GJ app doesn't show it? Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Fill in your profile so people know where you are. The location varies how much reinforcement is neccessary. Is the door insulated? Here in Florida, you wouldn't have passed an inspection! I'd check with the manufacturer to see what they think it needs for your area.

What are the dimensions of the building? What color are the walls? I found the two bulb led linkable lamps from Costco a good buy when they run a sale/rebate. Use a laser to align the lights. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Use a tarp secured to the eaves and run to stakes on the ground. Keep it tight and it should keep out 95 - 99% of the bugs and leaves. I like the screen idea but it won't protect the all of it I'm guessing. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

I am asking because I don't know... What's the purpose of the innerduct if he's only running 1.25 conduit? What size innerduct would you recommend for LC connectors in a 1.25 conduit? Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

They responded fairly quick. Unfortunately they don't offer anything for 4x4s. I [emoji53] Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Not what you wanted to hear but at least you aren't having to deal with someone getting hurt! I will remember this lesson of attic trusses... Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

That's a nice retrofit!

Re: underground fiber optic network cable for detached shop I would run the fiber and pull two Cat6 shielded lines. Easier to pull them when you run the fiber. I don't need fiber either (100 and 200 ft runs) but I already have 5 switches that are capable and I have the SFPs. I plan to use...

I'll find out about the concrete today. Going over to discuss some of their things they don't want to take with them. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app

I'm buying a house that has a 16 x 48 horse barn (built 2001) on the property with a 60 amp service run to a breaker box. I would like to turn this into a workshop/office. The only problem I see is a future one; the 4x4s that are placed ~every 6' are in dirt. I'm in North Florida and...

I used to be a helicopter mechanic. In the hanger we had large boxes with 12" square lids. Air lines, multiple electrical types and aircraft grounding lugs in them worked well. I plan to do this in the near future!

So what did you end up with? A 20' shipping container will be cheaper and easier to deal with.

I've spent the last three evenings reading your thread. Great ideas and execution. Good luck tomorrow!

My wife and I are listing our house for sale and looking for property to build on in Northern Florida. One of our reasons to look for more land is I "need" a large workshop. Found this forum while searching for ideas of what to incorporate into the building. Great forum to learn from. Thanks to...
