It will take a little time to move everything and get it set up. Patience.

W00T!!! Congrats Douglas. I know this has been a long time coming. You have to be excited. Now comes the fun of moving in.

P.S. Need another cutting board this year.

got the pull down power reels mounted and plugged in, tied up some loose ends with wiring.

at least now i can work in there anytime i want, not just 6-7 months a year.

biggest headache is moving the table saw. the side wings come off, but the center section still weighs in at about 254 pounds. ugh. wanna help?

100A panel and feed (1 phase, 240V), 20 breaker panel

2- 30A circuits (one on each side of the shop, for future use, if i ever get a large lathe or other 240V machine)
1- 20A lighting circuit
1- 20A boiler circuit
10- 20A power circuits (3 each on the long walls, one on the far end wall, one on the ceiling, two in the floor for the table saw and vacuum).

4 spare breaker spaces left (30A circuits take up 2 spaces each).

having the experience of wiring my shop in the basement in MD, then wiring the barn here with power and lighting (all exposed conduit), gave me a lot of ideas of what i wanted in my ideal shop. quad outlets every 4 feet, 48" above floor.
