The new Mikiespace - 40X64X16 Pole Barn

[BloomingtonMike]

Thank you everyone for the positive comments!! Feels real good, after working all night on it, to read the comments.

Tonight I installed outlets for the compressor circuit, and a couple for a DC circuit (was not sure of the two spots where will be the best access.

Also ran four outlets up at about 13'. I found a Neon 2nd generation Yamaha Vmax sign on ebay that is going on one end of the shop or the other so I put up some outlets for it. I also installed the last four outlets and wired in a chamberlain WSCLEV remote toggle switch that I hope will control some outdoor lighting.

I still need to pick some outdoor lights yet. Not sure I like the two I got on CL.

I also ordered some L14-30 receptacles today and some more L6-30s for the north wall. L14-30 will be for the 3ph setup.

Today's progress:

Ran 12/2 romex for outlets for under cabinet lighting that will be under the binder bins at about 10'
Ran 12/2 romex for outdoor outlets on porch and the east and west garage doors

ran some 10/3 for a couple 3phase outlets and a 10/3 for a potential 1ph spot for my cnc router where I want 220V and the neutral

Built a pallet movable two sided easel and the wife painted a pallets worth of plywood white (43 sheets) using an airless system I borrowed. Its now on my list of tools to own I loaded and stacked the sheets while she sprayed them. I stacked them up after they dried back on a pallet.

Shot 53 sheets this afternoon by myself with the airless. Blew two of them off with compressor, unloaded the two from a pallet and loaded them on my easel back to back, sprayed the two, then rested on edge for drying, and finally re-stacked them on the pallet after they were dry. At one point I had 35 sheets each resting on each other in a long house of cards base lol.

49 more pieces sprayed last night so averaging just under 50 per 5 gallons.

I am also working on some porch lights but don't want huge holes in the siding. I found these referenced in a youtube video:

I ordered a couple off amazon - going to try those to mount the kights too. If you have really large lights they have plates that go over them to make a larger panel to mount the light to.

I like the idea of having a small hole for the romex but still being able to secure it with a nm clamp. Ill seal it up like a external weatherproof box for an outlet.

Ended up with 209 sheets sprayed with white latex this week.

Did this drawing too on the Griz site.



Also got a little bling for some of the upper outlets.

[Gregory of Sherwood Forest]

Like the bling!

That Griz layout app is pretty darn handy. I've recommended it to loads of folks. What are the circles at the opposing corners?

[EricU]

that's really looking good

[BloomingtonMike]

In opposing corners are a 80 gallon and a 60 gallon compressor serving a 360 degree 3/4 maxline rapidair airline with nine drops each with a regulator. Each roll up door gets an airline reel and there will be a commercial one in the center too.
