I've been trying to set up my work shop/insulated shead for working on stuff. Particulary restoring my Honda. I've worked re-leveling the foundation that sank abit. Installed a wall ac and a couple of oil/electric heater. I planned to put a really good (wireless start) generator that could double as a full house gen when we have ice storms. Something my wife can have someone move if I'm not around. Anyway, I have an RV plug I drilled through my brick wall to my garage where I hooked to a block out sub breaker. I have an electrician comming by to do the hook up to the main hotel box. Long story short, I'm not much of a dude anymore so I have to do things as I can. I don't mind sweating and it makes my wife less than fun to be around when I don't listen to her. Anyway, I have the garage set up. Have my generator box fixed and ready to go and just needed the pad poured for the generator box and generator to sit on. Then just run the line to a 50 amp breaker box, run the wiring inside the pvc, build my work bench on the back wall. I've got a small building I'm getting to put the lawn mower and shovels/stuff in for room. Yesterday was hot but windy so I was finishing up digging up the ground/putting in rebar/setting forms when I did a header. Ha. Wife saw it and now we have a new plan.
I going to run a line from and electric pole to my building (10 yards from pole to shop) and move the box to the side of the garage near the plug where my wife wanted it all along. I just though it would be cool to multi purpose. So now I just have to put some cement holes for the anchors to keep anyone from stealing the gen or moving the box, put some paving stones at the same highth as my sidewalk, put the generator in it and just run it about 10 minutes every other week to keep things cool and the battery charged. PSO will be by next week to figue out the plan and I'll buy another breaker box and install it so all they have to do is hook up the power. I need to run the wiring to the panel first but that shold not be an issue and clean the hell out of my shed...Ha. I'm in bed just finished watching the Sooners beat Texas so I'm in a good mood.
I got lucky finding the wife I have. She has my best interest in mind often above her own. I do the same so I guess that's why we've been married so long. She know's I hate letting people do things I can (and like) to do. I've always been a DIY'er so she let's me get away with things sometimes. This one she wins, but I told her that I'm going to get stronger one day and it's back to normal. I think I heard her giggle......
Here's a few pic's
