Yesterday afternoon I finished the cabinets in the shop....FINALLY!

Here is another update....one I at least am proud of, it took me while but I got one bank of cabinets completed. The drawers are all 2' deep, with 100 pound soft close slide. The material for the drawers is baltic birch I purchased from a lumber yard....not the Home Depot stuff....I am not...

It has been a while since I posted any pictures............but there has been enough progress so I thought I should post some more. First coat of tung oil has been applied, tonight I will apply the second and then tomorrow I will mix 50/50 poly/mineral spirits and...

New updates on the garage.....the majority of the OSB is installed and painted...all I have left is over the garage doors and as section by closet that goes under the stairs. As far as the painting goes, 1 coat of Kilz(water based) primer and 1 coat of "Polished Silver"(4008-1B) from Lowes. As...

Recommend that you pay someone to do the concrete and framing....that is a large project.

finally got the bulk of OSB up and installed an exterior door separating the garage floor from the second floor to prevent heat migration and wasps and mud dobbers.

Got some more pictures......working on putting up the OSB on the walls....almost done.

Built me a layout workbench.....all I need to do to finish it is to buy a router table insert for my router.

So the first 2 photos are of the upstairs, the main storage area and then from the POV inside the Poker room. The last photo is of the garage with the sheetrock installed and painted and the lights and ceiling fans installed. Any ideas from the crowd for a wall paint scheme after I install the...

Little update on the garage....the second floor flooring has been installed and the 18x16 Poker room has been framed in. I will post pictures of the upstairs later today. The garage ceiling and walls has been insulated with R19 batts and the ceiling has been sheetrocked. I am going to paint...

LOL usually indicates a joke...

Seems like he challenged us to guess but now that it's done he won't tell us......LOL

This thread is giving me a headache

Too much!

Just sub panels.

I was thinking he wanted something I requested from my utility company, a larger transformer.....25kw. They balked about it, but put it in for me anyways.....thinking about it now, I believe a 15kw would have been just fine. Typically, people, even electricians, think they need more power than...

I guess that makes sense because they don't want to have an unnecessarily large transformer going to waste. Guess I was fortunate when I put mine in, they didn't balk hardly at all.

It was just an option that I provided. The NEC allows it though. I think he is making a mountain out of a mole hill, but hey, it is his house and his money and if I was the Electrical Contractor, sure I will put a 400 amp service in for ya, but do you know how much it is going to cost over a...

You know why they are doing this right? I had a similar issue when building my house, I told them what my future plans are and that I wanted an upsized (25kva) transformer so there would be no issue in the future. The complied. Now as far as the 400amp service, unless you are planning on...

That chart is very, very misleading. Actual numbers (also found on that same web site) show a true picture of the 2022 disaster (-8.78): Dow Jones Industrial Average - Historical Annual Data Year Average Closing Price Year Open Year High Year Low Year Close Annual % Change 2023 33,112.07...
