    Not gonna lie....I've been pretty excited about it. Due to lack of funds, its just gonna be a bare bones building with no lights or electricity until I can come up with some more cash. I am currently looking into doing it myself, but don't know the first thing about it. I will learn it though.

    Looks great. Wiring a shop like that is nothing. All you have to know is power in/power out (except at the end of a circuit) and how to run a switch loop. The hardest part is not really hard but connecting to as live breaker box you just have to be very careful. Wire the breaker then snap it in the box.

    Awesome! I'd be happy with a piece of concrete that big.

    Wife and I have worked in the 100+ degrees of heat over the past few weekends and finally got 100amp service run to the shop hooked up successfully. Also, finished the lighting and epoxy flooring. Glad to have that finished. Now its time to move all my crap from the 2 car garage to the shop, and then after, its fencing and driveway to the shop.

    Damn, sometimes I just wanna work on the car, but the shop itself has zapped me of all my time.

    BTW, I agree A/C would be nice. Maybe in a few years. Right now, Im surviving inside it with a steady flow of ice water.

    FYI about the lighting. I ordered 6x 8ft LED tube lights 8500lm 72watts each. Two of the tubes were slightly bent, but worked just fine but when I contacted the seller to inquire if I could get two replacement tubes, they over reacted and offered to send me TWO COMPLETE SIX PACKS!! So, I decided to put in 9 tubes in the shop and 2 in the garage.

    If anyone is interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Motivated sellers.

    I keep my car, trailer, camper in a hangar. While I can't cool the hangar, it does supply electricity to the camper which does have AC so I work, sweat, and eventually cool myself off in there. The fridge keeps water and beer cold too.
