Rough Electrical Started

Yesterday while I was at the gallery Chris got a lot of the rough electrical done on the garage, and even got some plywood up for shear strength.

The plan is to have about 3-6 outlets per wall (depending on which wall) so that we have ample space to plug in tools and get work done




Chris also put wiring in for an outlet on the outside of the garage (to plug in our lawn mower, or anything else that needs electricity) and for a light to be hooked up (this side of the garage is right next to the "patio," so it will be nice to have a light to illuminte the beautiful nights we spend outside, WHENEVER that happens)

The engineer we used (who we're not really very impressed with - neither are the BAU guys it seems - they seem to have left stuff off the drawing and sorta did a half ass job) wanted us to put up one sheet of 5/8 plywood on each wall to provide some shear strength for the structure. Chris and I thought that might look a little strange and we're also paranoid about the structure of the garage, so we decided we would just line all the walls in plywood. Chris got started on that yesterday as well


And here's our panel. It certainly makes the space feel like it's really starting to come together. Soon we'll actually be able to WORK in here!
