3D Shop Construction

My electrician "says" he is coming to wire up the first part of the system off my basement Circuit Breaker Box this Wednesday. I've tailored down the shop list for him to just a few plugs to cut costs. I can add more once he does the first few.

My electrician "says" he is coming to wire up the first part of the system off my basement Circuit Breaker Box this Wednesday. I've tailored down the shop list for him to just a few plugs to cut costs. I can add more once he does the first few.

He will most likely have to put a light above the door too. At least mine did to meet code. Also at least one light in the shop too.

Yep...I planned one over the door, one in the shop, one for my RV on the outside and one light inside. I'll do the rest. I had a few conversations with him today and appears he will be here Thursday. My concrete guy said Friday or Saturday depending on the project he is working tomorrow (doing some stamping).

Once they are done the real work for me starts!

Well my electrician flaked out on me (again...3rd time). FIRED! I'm glad I never gave him a dime upfront. On to the next company which says they can do it for just about the same price and will be here Wednesday. Also he is planning to do the minimum to meet code inside the shop so that we can get the county off my back upfront and then work on the rest.

Hope this company works out better.

Ugh. I hate flakes!

I will never understand Electricians or Contractors. Quick to come over and quote. Slow to actually do anything after that so they can get paid.

I am assuming the second contractor didn't show up on Wednesday as planned Wish I was closer, we could get you up an running. I dug my own trench from the utility pole to the garage, laid the schedule 40 that was required and called the utility company. They came out and ran power from the pole to the garage. I ran the electrical and called the inspector and he told me I didn't have to do half of what I did because it was a garage I just believe in doing it right the first time. I hope the contractor works out for you.

I've only had one electrician contracted.......he was quick to show up to give a quote but since then he was slow to call back, didn't show up twice and wouldn't commit to a specific time today....but he did ask for a deposit which I did not give.

Ok. I thought you had hired a second one already.
