The infrastructure is in place!

This weekend I took some time and finally revamped the garage to make it more tool friendly.

First off I needed more power for the air compressor and welder. Also some more outlets for the beer fridge.

So I ended up running two new circuits for the equipment. A 15A with 12g wire for the beer fridge, non GFCI so it will not trip off. Then a 20A with 12g wire on a GFCI for the air compressor and welder... Granted it is with 4 plugs so I can use this circuit for the hand tools as well.

And one of the biggest plusses was getting 4 of the shop lights set up with the 8' bulbs. WOW can you say tanning booth! Much better than the two jinky open bulbs that were there previously.

Now the destruction can begin!

Actually the '57 pan is ready to be media blasted before I start welding it back together.

Later,

I can remember how exciting it was this spring to finally have more than 2 outlets, and the joy of flipping a wall switch for light instead of trying to find a cord in the dark and plug up a work light. Congrats! Let the carnage begin !
