made some more progress,

24729317701_a0d14ec994_z.jpg

got tired of forgetting the keys when i went out to the garage


24796538666_727176d315_z.jpg

ran some cat5 and coax for future projects.

ran some wire for the welder and compressor

24796538936_3010086e26_z.jpg

started with a 1000' roll of 12/2 this is all that is left, finally tally was 27 outlets in the garage, 3 outdoor outlets, 2 spot lights, 2 lights over the garage doors, 1 light for the service door, 7 cat5e lines, and 1 coax to a future TV. probably something i missed hopefully i think of it before the walls are closed.

with all that done was finally able to start tearing into my new project to see if this old motor will actually run.

today the garage door openers are finally going in, and soon we will start insulating it and getting the walls closed up.

lights are working great, no issues at all with them and still bright as the day they were installed.

Shop looks great, how is that speaker set up working out? Do you have any info on the speakers and amp you used? I like to crank up the stereo when I'm working in the garage.

more progress,

finally got the pumps for my rolling jacks that were on back order, also added some slim LED light bars to the lift, much easier to see now.
