I thought I had a thread going on my new home workshop but now I can't find it.
Anyway, progress has been made.
Earthworks...
18 months later, the concrete slab...
Then 6 months later, the building.
It's 24 metres x 8 metres with a 5 metre wall (about 80 x 25 ft with a 16 ft wall).
I am now doing the wiring:
- 5 x 10W LED inside floodlights (for instant lighting).
- 10 x 400W HID inside lights. (Power-hungry, but so cheap to buy now second-hand - and I probably will use them only 30 or so hours a year. They're switched in pairs so I need to turn on only those I need.)
- 5 x double wall power outlets.
- 8 x 8-socket hanging power outlets (positioned on chains just above head height). I found in my current workshop that I used the hanging power outlets for pretty well everything but fixed tools, so I have gone for more of these in the new workshop.
- 2 x high current hanging outlets (for the dyno and hoist - when I buy the latter).
- 4 x HID external floodlights
- 2 x audio speakers
- 4 x security cameras
To give you and idea, the wiring is taking about 400 metres of plastic conduit!
That wiring is almost all done. I have roller switches coming for security on all the doors, and I am fitting some external low current LED lights that will probably operate on an auto dusk switch.
This is my 7th home workshop, so I figured I've learned a few things along the way -
my book on home workshops.
