I got a quote for 3000 for a new service, buried underground, 100 amp panel, 9 ceiling lights, outlets every 8' for my 50x64 shop. This was a rough estimate as they didn't know how much or how little they were going to be doing. They said usually they just do time and material for shops/garages...

We purchased power reclining couches and didnt want an extension cord to power one of the sofas. I cut the hole in the floor, fished the wire and powered it up. They're handy for phone chargers etc. They make covers that you can actually attach a piece of carpet to them and you'd hardly even...

Someone stated stihl's combo system. I would second this. Once you buy the power plant you can purchase different attachments and use it more often. I personally own a stihl ms290 farm boss and I've been happy with it. I purchased it 12 years ago and I bet I've used it maybe 8 times. I was one...

I will be the first to admit I am by no means a lighting expert. With that being said I figured roughly 50 lumens per square ft is "decent". Based on that number I picked the fixtures I wanted (8200 lumen led) and just did the math to figure how many I needed. I went with 18 8' fixtures for my...

Since I'm in limbo until the concrete guys show up next week I thought I'd share some pictures of what I was working on at my day job yesterday. we traveled roughly 80 miles north to a friend/customer's lake house to install his kitchen cabinets for him. This lake flooded in 08 and he decided to...

Thanks! So far it's coming together as I had envisioned. Here's the plumbing pictures I hadn't had a chance to snap on Tuesday when they were here. The clean out is for our camper if I ever chose to empty the tanks at home,or if we have company and the house is full. They can stay in the camper...

Well fast forward a week, floor has been filled and we're close to final grade for concrete. My plumber made it out today to rough in the bathroom, floor drain and I had him install a seperated clean out if I need to dump/clean the tanks on our camper. I went with 8' of nds commercial grade dura...

God forbid those windows need to be replaced! Unless it is a screaming deal and you're planning on tearing that roof off, I'd just slowly back away and forget I even saw that place[emoji15] Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Couldn't get any pictures last night before it got dark out. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Nice! I was thinking between 8-10' on mine. Have you picked out the colors yet? I like your idea of the 2nd story windows for the loft. You just have a way better view than me [emoji2] Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Well today was the big inspection day to close out my building permit. Framing and electrical passed and now I'm waiting on the power company to finishing hooking up my feed to the power pole. My fill material showed up for the floor as well. My buddy delivered 12 loads so I should have more...

Looks great! You weren't kidding that our builds are similar. Did I see you're going to run a loft down one side of the building as well? Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Well the builders finished up the exterior today and will return once I'm insulated and have the floor in. Electricians made it out and installed my service, 2 lights and one outlet. I had them only do this as this is the minimum my County requires for a "storage" building. (I will have all...

The building site was originally slated to be a tennis court back in the early 80s. Luckily the original owners already installed drainage tile out in front of where I placed the building. I'm planning on digging slightly deeper at the bottom of the hill and building a swail to carry any water...

Structures go through phases, currently it looks huge, once it starts getting closed in and dressed up I'd imagine it will start to look "smaller". You played by the rules way more than most ever would. Drop off their beverage of choice with a note inviting all the neighbors over for an...

Do I personally think it's worth 10k? No, but with that being said, I believe most people Whether conscious or not, believe their own personal items are worth more than the next guys'. I'm guilty of it myself sometimes. Everything is only worth what someone is willing to pay at the end of the...

Well after a week of continuous rain, the guys made it back to put a dent in the shop again. They're planning on being completely done with the exterior by the end of the day Monday. The electricians are scheduled to come run the service and install the meter socket and panel on Monday as well...

I forgot too add my credentials :) 10 years of residential and commercial carpentry and 6 years of remodeling and property Maintenance work. If you're dead set on a wood floor it might not be a bad idea to stop into the local Lumber yard and they should be able to get you a drawing that would...

I'm not going be a nay sayer but I'll leave you with this thought. Have you ever been on a outdoor deck that has 2x8's for the joists? Even a 10x10 deck with 2x8s has a bounce in it. If you're set on 4x4 posts you wont be able to notch your posts to put a 2 ply beam structure together. You...
