    I wired my shop, and then my third vet hospital (after I read a couple of simple books) and I'm an idiot! So far, nothing's burned down.... You can do it, Chad!

    Don't forget to put in some 220 outlets for welders and maybe a mini split HVAC

      Yes sir! I’m not sure where all my final equipment will go yet, so I’m going to leave the walls open for a bit and get a feel for the building.

      Also plan on where you want your air compressor! Run it on a separate breaker too!
      Don’t put 6 plugs on 1 breaker in one area either, you’ll be surprised how quickly you overload the breaker using fans and power tools.
      You’ll think me later. 👍

      Good deal! Every once in a while is not an expensive fix.

    In 1976 me and my dad built a 60 by 100 with 14 ft walls metal building, a concrete slab, all the restrooms and Plumbing ,a 440 amp disconnect 3 phase and single phase, the whole package for 5,700.
    In 1985 I built another building for the business, 20 by 80 the cement at that time cost me $13 a yard delivered.
    In 1978 my dad and mom built a 3800 square foot home complete for 18,000 with a huge two-car garage.

    That's a great shop.
    I have an unrelated question.
    Do you know of a way to convert a 71 C10 automatic to a later model(mid 70s) steering column with locking column

      Thank you! The 73-87s should be a pretty close match. The tube is a little bigger but can fit with a little work. We’ve also used tilt columns out of cans as well. That way they don’t have the key in the column.

    My dad use to say you can buy any thing you want for a good price if you are patient and have the money on hand and to day with E-bay and Market place its even better because some people will ship it to your house . I just learned this next thing this week, I had sprinklers installed and every sprinkler guy has a Ditch Witch who could come to you house and install a long narrow hole and they are good at it , It mite be and idea for you to get the conduit in the ground , 3 inch is huge how big are the feeder wires ????

      You said it! At least I knew what I was going to need for a while and that allowed me to save a bunch! You’re also right on the 3”. I’d have enough space to run 20 wires out there. Lol
