Thanks for all following along guys! The thread keeps me taking pictures and somewhat documenting what I have been doing and helps keep me motivated to see it through to the end. I just got in from tying in the last of the electrical, vacuuming the entire place and covering up the ship lap that is stacked in the middle of the barn so they can come in and do the spray foam.
The rough electrical was inspected on Friday and all passed with one caveat, the inspector believes that the PoCo won't set a second residential meter on the property and I will have to list the building as commercial, which would necessitate a bypass meter socket. I went over the entire plan, which was to feed the barn on a separate meter for now and then eventually refeed the house from the barn underground, with the PoCo prior to beginning this and that was never mentioned, so I have to contact them tomorrow to verify. If I can get them to set the residential meter then we are good to go, if not I'll need to swap meter sockets, which isn't a huge deal, just some added work, luckily my buddy has one in his stock and it shouldn't take more than an hour or so to swap it around.
I also decided on plaster over drywall for the ceilings in both the main garage and the loft, so I'm meeting a plasterer there tomorrow to show him what I am thinking and get the quote for that. Once I lock him down and get that done, I can start throwing up the ship lap, then cut in all the receptacle boxes. We'll be doing them all in old work boxes once I figure out the height of all the benches, I'm thinking they'll come in around 48" high.
