CaChevelle, Thanks for the good luck wish. My designer/contractor and the engineer have just completed a project in my neighborhood and they seem very up to date on the process. My neighbor gave this team a raving review and recommended them highly; his project is complete and they are all...

Only 2 wires mrb, I thought that might be the case after I sent the last message. We have talked to the planner, but when we did we were just asking if we could have a second meter, we did not tie it to being Ag property, but we will. I appreciate your help, I will let you know how it turns out.

Thank you very much mrb, you sound very knowledgable on this. Question for you: I live in a rural environment on the end of a cul de sac and my Edison service comes overhead about 1/4 mile from the road. On the next to last pole there is what I was told a 12.5 KW transformer that serves only...

Thanks Grumpy, because of you and Ishiboo we are looking into whether we can get an Ag exemption and get a second meter. It may take a while, but when we get it figured out I will post the results which might be able to help someone else.

Ishiboo, this is certainly something to consider too. I am in a Tier system where the more power you use the more you pay. My house alone is in Tier 5 and I pay over 30 cents for each Kw hour. For your $21 I could pay for over 60 kw hours. I would be interested in hearing any other reports...

Falcon, my accountant already has told me, "You are building an implement shed, aren't you!" (wink, wink) The only problem there is my income from the farm is down since NAFTA opened up the Western States to imported avocados where before we were protected and the last 3 years we have been on...

RSanter, please check for PM.

The farm is a business and I do file a form F on my taxes, this could be a possibility after all I will be storing my tractor and trailers (not 18 wheelers) in the garage and will be doing maintenance on them. The garage and shop though is primarily for building street rods for my self...

That's the problem IM, no second dwelling or multi-family in this area. You can have a guest house, but no cooking facilities. So many people have bootlegged in second residences they are cracking down. I think they instantly think second residence when you request a second meter. To...

Ha! Garaged is a typo, should be garage. I want a second meter because our house is already on Tier 5 billing and the first light switch I turn on will be billed at 30-some cents a KW/hr. That makes welding and plasma cutting expensive. My electrician first suggested it and for that reason...

Thanks for the quick reply Rsanter. My zoning is RA residential/Agriculture, I have 5 acres of avocados and grapefruit. No multi-family residences allowed here, I think that is why they will not install a second meter. My designer has spoken with a Planner in Romoland, he said one service...

I live in Southern California and would like to have a second meter for my planned garaged. SoCal Edison has a rule: One meter per residential lot unless you are commercial. Going to Commercial causes a whole new can of worms with HOA and County. Has anyone figured out how to do this without...

He must of had a heart attack when he saw the bid and croaked.

Does anyone out there have any experience with jmendez25's Silikal's products?

Scotty, Thanks for the reply. I have been to the Legacy website and I need some clarifications. My floor is new construction, approximately 5466 sq. ft. under roof divided into 3 sections. One section is motorhome storage, one section is my display (clean storage) area and third section is...

:beer: I am subscribing to this post as I am going through the same decision process on my Dream Garage which is now being designed. I had an aircraft hangar and did the floor in it. I used a waterbased sealer applying about 3 coats to seal and fill the pores, then a couple coats of...

My first attempt at a garage in 2008 resulted in a false start for a lot of different economic reasons, I am sure you all understand. I am once again designing a garage and have hired a contractor. I am still interested in input on this subject; I learn a little from every post. What slope do...

I am a real dog lover and there are some really cool dogs in this thread, actually I like all of them, but I don't see many of them really helping on projects. My dog Bear likes to get in there and "help", well, he thinks he does anyway Bear is a Great Pyrenees and last time he was weighed he...

EVIN THO...Well, I guess we will just have to figure out how to put lights in it. I was thinking on the moveable wall when it is framed boxes could be framed in for two rows of 8' flourescent lights which would end up being flush, same on the hinged wall. That would take care of half the...

Evin Tho, I think your paint booth design is great! I would like to know what you use for lighting as I don't see any lights in the booth area. Also how are you ventilating it? I see the vent on the back wall and the one on the sliding wall...is the one on the back wall a fan and the other...
