Hello Les,
I know the combination of excitement and frustration from waiting can be overwhelming. Before you know it you will in your completed shop working and having a blast! I built my dream shop last year and had to deal with a con artist contractor who didn’t finish the job, an electrician who only finished 98% of the work and the extra costs oh having to pay someone else to finish their work. Now that I look back on it while working in my new shop, it ain’t so bad.
You will have your electrical work signed off before you know it and you also will be grinnin from ear to ear.

Les,

Thanks for the update. We know what you mean with zoning departments—too many of them are power-hungry egomaniacs—not as concerned about safety as they are about wielding control over others. But you will soon forget about it when you’re making sawdust in it!

It never fails, just when you need it to by dry…. Hang in there they’ll get it done eventually, you know how it goes when you need it to rain after you seed the lawn it won’t rain for four months…LOL I hope they get it done soon for you I know you need the space. Let us know when things get going again.

Hi Les

Hang in there buddy. Things could be worst. I got my shop done and just started buying new equipment for it. Then I had to go in for foot surgery and was told i would be layed up for 6 to 8 weeks. The shop keeps calling to me. End of this month I will start odering more equipment again so it will be here when I am up and running. Looking forward to seeing your finished shop.

God Bless

You should live in the sticks where I do. The only permit I had to get was a building permit for $25 and an inspection for the foundation. That’s it.

I did all the electrical myself. Just thew a 100 AMP breaker in the house and ran wires into the shop.
