Remodeling

Just the standard lift master chain drive. It's on the opposite side of the house from our bedroom and noise isn't a concern. It does have a phone app that I haven't loaded, it has a keypad and remote.
 
:hello: Today for my new shed I started the 3/4" under ground water line. I already had a 3/4" copper pipe that was capped off coming out the north wall on the side of my two car garage. I added a shut off valve and a hose bib/valve for a garden hose. I used a shark bite to go from 3/4" copper to 1" O.D. PVC. I capped off the the PVC at two feet below ground level. I also hung a new garden hose hanger. Time spent about three hours. 20210905_091440[1].jpg 20210905_093247[1].jpg 20210905_123946[1].jpg 20210905_123958[1].jpg 20210905_170814[1].jpg 20210905_190102[1].jpg
 
:hello: Today on my new shed I wired in the 240 VAC single phase power and switch for my compressor. I couldn't find a 240 volt switch at any of the five stores that I go to so I ordered one on line. It doesn't wire in like a 120 VAC switch. See the drawing in pic #3. I had to cut a 9"x 4" hole in the shelves OSB above the work bench in order to get the medal flex conduit and 8 gauge wire through the studs/framing. Time spent about four hours. 20210911_085458[1].jpg 20210911_102615[1].jpg 20210911_102749[1].jpg 20210911_105342[1].jpg 20210911_114309[1].jpg 20210911_112751[1].jpg 20210911_085411[1].jpg 20210911_103935[1].jpg 20210911_114150[1].jpg
 
:hello: Yesterday for my new shed I installed the first 60 feet of 3/4" SCH 40 water line. I started at 4 AM and got done by 10:00 AM. Code here in FL for water line is two feet below ground level. The hardest part was digging under the sidewalk. The FL sugar sand is very easy to dig. Also I put up a hose hanger and a new fifty foot water hose for the new shed. I have four FL gopher tortoises living on my one acre. They are an endangered species. 20210915_112358[1].jpg 20210915_124445[1].jpg 20210916_081341[1].jpg 20210916_081511[1].jpg 20210915_134838[1].jpg 20210915_134817[1].jpg
 
Old school with the hose hanger. Nowadays I use the hose reels. Cool turtles.
 
:hello: Today for the shed I finished the last 70 ft. of SCH 40 3/4 " water line & 70 feet of drain line. I got a friend to dig the trenches with his kubota. 20210917_151518[1].jpg 20210917_151749[1].jpg 20210917_152125[1].jpg 20210917_153809[1].jpg 20210917_153822[1].jpg
 
:hello: Today for the new shed I laid the first 100 feet of 6 gauge 3 wire with a ground wire. Time spent about 4 hours. My friend used his Kubota. 20210923_133654[1].jpg 20210923_133433[1].jpg 20210923_133448[1].jpg
 
:hello: This past Sunday for my new shed we laid the last 100 feet of 6-3 wire to the main breaker panel on the house. Time spent 4 hours20210926_130150[1].jpg 20210926_130121[1].jpg 20210926_130958[1].jpg 20210926_125922[1].jpg 20210926_125906[1].jpg

While digging the trench for the 200 feet of 6 gauge wire we hit two live under ground electrical wires. Also we removed two unused (130 feet) wires and capped off one that we couldn't remove. Spent 5 hours. Labor for the KUBOTA was $400 for the whole job.

:hello: Today I finished wiring up the main breaker panel and sub panel on the house for the shed. I had to move the sub panel from the left side of the main panel to the right side of the main panel because the 6-3 wire going from the shed to the house was 18 inches to short. I added a 60 amp breaker to the main panel which feeds a 40 amp breaker in the sub panel that is for the shed. Time spent 10 hours. Copper wire has gone way up. 200 feet of 6-3 wire cost me $1200. 25 feet of 10-3 wire was $90 and 20 feet of 2 gauge wire was $50. The 60 amp and 40 amp breakers was $60. 20210926_125812[1].jpg 20211005_192054[1].jpg 20211004_130322[1].jpg 20211005_192018[1].jpg 20211005_193516[1].jpg 20211005_210207[1].jpg

:hello: My new 12'x 20' shed is for all of my bikes and ATVs. At this time I'm not sure if they will all fit. :laughing7:. Also it will be my shop for working on bikes and ATVs.
 
:hello: Today for the new shed I ran the 1 1/4" drain and the 3/4" sch 40 water line for the sink. I put all the R 19 insulation back in the wall. Also I installed a sink and the Eemax tankless hot water heater. $200. I also installed a 120 VAC 20 amp outlet above the sink. Time spent about 7 hours. 20211012_110858[1].jpg 20211012_110946[1].jpg 20211012_111038[1].jpg 20211012_111402[1].jpg 20211012_112817[1].jpg 20211012_112705[1].jpg 20211012_112841[1].jpg 20211012_113421[1].jpg 20211015_122033[1].jpg 20211015_122053[1].jpg 20211015_122817[1].jpg 20211015_144912[1].jpg 20211017_101748[1].jpg 20211017_081604[1].jpg 20211017_101642[1].jpg 20211015_205756[1].jpg 20211017_101657[1].jpg
