Well this long weekend was not as productive with the shop as I had hoped. My main helper did not even get out of bed till 3pm on Saturday. Oh well...
I did get both rows of lights all hung and wired up. Put in bulbs and tested the circuits with an extension cord running from the house. I ended up stopping at 6pm on Saturday to watch my Aggies BTHO of the Sun Devils! Whoop!
Sorry for some of the pictures being so blurry. Without my reading glasses I can't tell if they are in focus or not on my phone...
Here are the pictures while testing them to see what it looks like:
All off -
One Row on -
Both Rows on -
Very pleased with the light out put for now. I used "daylight" color bulbs, while the pictures where taken with some daylight still available, they do make a huge difference in the shop. For now, I can work out there on the rest of the electrical later into the evenings if I feel up to it.
We did some other things out there this weekend, but no pictures of that. We ran more wiring for the wall outlets and mounted the breaker panel. I decided to clean up some of the mess since it was cluttering up most of the floor with wire bits and stuff. Folded up all the boxes from the lights and bulbs and hauled that to the recycle bin. Moved in a 4' wide shelf that I put in the short wall next to the light switches between the roll up door and the man door. My next major step that I want to accomplish is running the service feed from the house panel to the panel in the shop. I have all the wiring and conduit, but need to rent a trencher to get the conduit laid in the ground. I am trying to coordinate this with a friend who needs one too so we can split the cost, but I am ready before he is. This week might be out for getting it done with all that we have going with the kids activities.
Again, thanks for checking in!
