Started with 30 amp box... ran another 30amps and strung up a handfull of outlets....

Aside from the floor, I tend to wait for things to come to me vs throwing money at a project....

a friend of mine was hauling basically new sections of this fence to the dump I told him I would take them not knowing what I would do with them at the time...

Scored some 3/4 maple plywood off craiggers. I thought I was going to string it up on the wall like the fence.... Ended up making "The Stinson Attic", and I'm glad I did. 7 4x8 sheets = a lot of storage.... There is a lot of stuff up there that I'm glad to have out of my way on the floor.... wheels tires, jack stands, battery charger, hand trucks, lumber, even got a lawnmower up there... ect ect ect.....

I love that old work bench. I don't where you guys find all this cool stuff at garage sales. I only see baby clothes and junk. So i usually have to build my stuff or buy knew. I love old sturdy items.

My buddy was buying something from this guy who was about to go into a retirement home, and they wouldn't let him take his workbench with him. Although my friend had no use for it he ended up taking it home so it wouldn't get thrown out.... sat at his place unused for a few years... I bought a snowblower from him a few years back and there it was....

It is also wired w/ 3 pairs of outlets..... bonus!

I re~glued a couple of the drawers other than that untouched....
