    My 1954 BelAir project.

    As promised I stated in my thread about my building I would show you guys some of my projects that I would do when the shop was completed.

    Meter Socket ?

    I just finished with my trench to get underground power to my meter socket. I need to enter the building(steel). My question is can I run the power out of the top?

    New from Texas

    I found this site through the HAMB. I figured I would register so I can use the search function. Hopefully in the near future I'll be building a shop and this site seems to be the place to look for advice. I live in southeast Texas, east of Houston; not on the water, but close enough to have...
