The lighting looks nice! I think you've got me convinced to go with those Diva lights as well.

I got the final okay to build from the big boss today.

Thank you! I'll be so much happier once it's to the same stage of progress as your build. I'm trenching for the new pad mounted transformer Monday. Of course I waited until the last day to reserve a trencher and they're all reserved for the weekend already. Once the service has been switched...

:thumbup:

I was outside deepening some trenches for conduit today and noticed a wet spot in the front yard by the well. The well pump line that feeds the house loosened up at a previously made splice. I'll take some pics of the mess but it looks like there previously was a shallow well pump there and...

A simple programmable timing relay will do exactly what you wish in the Signal On One-Shot mode. You apply continuous power to the timing relay (I'm assuming 120vac). Use a photoeye to signal the timing relay to start the fan when it's dark and you set the timer for far longer than you'd need...

Thank you it's been a while since I started planning this to where I am now. I had Morton quote me and although a friend of mine had one built by them early this year and it's a beautiful building, I could almost have my builder build 2 of them for what Morton wanted. This isn't a business and...

Due to the depth differences between the meter and breaker enclosures, you'll have to install what is called a meter offset between the enclosures since the center lines of the conduit knockouts are not inline with each other. That is what you see in the above pics. Otherwise you'll have to...

Got the homemade hydraulic post hole digger out for a spin today. Untitled by B.Shuman, on Flickr Drilled both holes right at 54" deep and set everything in. Plumb and straight and now the concrete is setting up. Untitled by B.Shuman, on Flickr

3/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum.

Well usually each of the disconnect breaker enclosures are grounded with a 4 awg wire since that's what required for a 200 amp service and they had that in stock. Also I live in Ohio less than a mile from the OH/IN state line and the Kendall is in Indiana so the location of the store could have...

Ok well since the photobucket bend-everyone-over situation has arisen, I'm using flickr now. Still learning here! So here's my 400 amp meter base and 200 amp breaker panels pre-wired with 3/0 copper. The service entrance wire is aluminum as are my house and future shop feeder. Ohio code says...

Speaking of pictures, I see all the ones I posted from my phone are of terrible resolution. I'll try to remedy that shortly.

The survey is done and I'm all set to begin. But before we break ground I'm going to clean my front yard up a bit by having my current overhead 25kva service primary buried. Before my house was built there sat a trailer in my front yard and it was fed via this overhead service. When the house...

What are the angles of the "few turns"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes they have their own patented Morton Foundation System that has a threaded rod running through the column to adjust the height of the column prior to securing it.

Good to hear about progress! More pics!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use the one by FBi Buildings. Found here: https://www.fbibuildings.com/getting-started/design-your-own/

We purchased an Amcrest system with four 1080P HD cameras and a 2TB hard drive that records all 4 cameras 24/7 for 15 days before recording over anything. It's a hardwired system. The software included is fairly simple for setting up the motion detection and it flat works. The infrared is...

Proper practice by whom?!
