Extension Cord
Tearing off, in the rain . . . This was pretty touch and go, and honestly didn't make sense at times.
An update to my work-in-progress shop . . . This year we’re supplying power. Conduit is in the ground and cable will be here this week. 100 amp sub run off a 60 amp breaker in the main panel in the house, 3,3,3,6 THHN with an 8′ 5/8″ grounding rod at the garage. Looking forward to losing the extension cord . . .

Collar ties, in the rain . . . From 90 year old 2x4 w/ no ties to 2x8 rafters and 2x6 collars, roof should now easily take insulation, venting, and sheet rock without serious loss of head room.

Weather tight with just a few details to clean up at the ridge and rake ends. Dry and ready for the next big project . . . POWER!

In New England, and specifically on the island of Aquidneck, the trencher rental was the best money we spent this weekend. Our house isn't much more than 3-4 feet of bedrock in most places, and digging even the little 30' by hand would have been terrible!

No reason to dig twice, 1.5" for the power, 1" for a rainy day (cable? internet? coffee can on a string?). One day trench, pipes, string, today added a Square D QO 100 amp 20/20 panel. Just waiting on the wire!

Looks thanks for sharing.
Please continue posting your work toward completing your shop. Where are you located?
This looks like the beautiful NW. Looking good.
Glad you mentioned how useful the Audels guides are. I have a collection of them from 20's to the 70's. They are great.
See you're giving your Krenov styled "Smart Sawhorses" a workout.
Doesn't always work I had the entire roof off my shop for a month last summer. Didn't rain much in the midwest.
Thanks for all the support guys, I'm definitely in it for the long haul! Shop is located in Newport, RI, where my wife and I work and play. Krenov horses have come in handy repeatedly! Looking forward to running power out in the spring and then finishing up the walls and ceiling with insulation and drywall. Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
