Did you do your own electrical? Over here to do anything you need a permit, then it's inspected by the town. Don't get caught doing any improvements without a permit!!
Nice! Man, I wish I knew how to do stuff like this. Good job you guys!!Well I have hundreds of building the shed. lol

It’s legal here to do your own electrical if it’s your residence. Of course you’re supposed to get a permit and get it inspected but they’re not gonna look into a small project like this. I know codes from being in construction all my life so it would pass if I needed it to. People here do all kinds of stuff without permits, additions etc. You should see a couple of the houses in my neighborhood- dudes clearly had no idea how to build shit and yet they did, and got away with it. If they were to get inspected I guarantee they would have to tear them down.
Yup. Same here. In fact I consulted with a master electrician, since I had the ability, and he’s a super nice guy. Didn’t charge me anything, and wouldn’t take anything for his time. I had power to the hot tub in a sub panel, so wanted to extend that power to the shed. So I spoke with him about how to do it to code. Did all the work myself, but with something like that, I wanted to make sure it was done correctly. Even dug my trench 18” down even though he said I only needed to do 12”. (Carrying more voltage requires more depth)

This has turned into my garage build thread lol. Oh well, not working on The Beast until Spring (hopefully) so the garage it is. I got the big pos contraption torn off the ceiling and got the framing for the attic stairs done so now the ceilings ready for Sheetrock.
Next is another run for 1 1/8” ply, 3/4” ply and the rock for the ceiling. I’ll be re- doing one of the original cabinets, here it is. Stay tuned to see what it comes out like. The wood is all high quality stuff and I’m thinking of sanding and staining it in clear deck stain that I have left over but it might get painted. Notice how perfectly flat the plywood doors still are. This one goes over the w/d and I plan on a new one over the bench that I’m building.

Whenever you're finished with the garage, or at least get it to a point of function like how you want, just pull your Denali into it and perform some form of maintenance (check air pressure?), then drive it out into the back yard. This will officiate that the garage mods were, in fact, pertinent to your modding/servicing/building of your Denali and you will no longer be in violation of any forum rules or ethics, expressed or implied, and you will no longer be in danger of being banned from TYF.

Well, can I get mine suspended until I’m able to move from my current living situation? Lol

Hell yeah. I was just thinking last night that I would drive The Beast through it as a christening.
So during the plumbing rework the dude mentioned that I might have a leak in the kitchen sink drain, which was close to the washing machine drain he hooked up. I forgot to crawl under there and look but finally did a few days ago. Wow. The only horizontal piece of cast iron left in the house was there, only 2’ of it before it connected to ABS. It was gone, completely rusted through the entire 2’. And after dude cut it out and replaced it, I could see why that drain was always slow. Until it rusted through, that is.

And today’s pics. The drywall is pretty much done, just had a couple spots that I didn’t quite get with the second coat so they’re drying tonight, then tomorrow I’ll sand those and primer everything. There’s a little extra drywall on the end where the new overhead door is going, I’ll cut it out when I frame that in but that will be Springtime. I don’t work in the cold anymore and I’m in no hurry. The overhead storage area will be getting sliding doors, I’m looking for 1/4” hardwood panel for that. I’ll also use the same design on the cabinet doors on the under-workbench storage as well as the over-workbench cabinets I build. I know it doesn’t look like much but it’s come along way from where it was. Oh, and I ordered a new LG washer and dryer (wi-if enabled) just because the others are getting up there in age, plus they were 25% off. I’ll sell the old set before they break down. The attic stairs will be here Friday, the hinges for the cabinet over the W/D also on Friday which will be good, I’ll get the cabinet in before the W/D is delivered which is Sunday AM. Next after that is bench and cabinet design/ construction.

Yep, it’s layers of the cast iron pipe, rusted and expanded until it was a pretty much solid plug. The plumber says he sees it a lot on old houses, and sometimes he will run an auger through to clear a blockage but it ends up going right through the side of the pipe. I replaced all the cast under the house that was still there when I bought it but not that 2’ section. The addition is all plastic plumbing.

Wifi washer and dryer! Can you start the machines from your cell phone?
I have a wi-fi washer and dryer. I text my kids from work and tell them to do laundry.

I cut a bunch of stuff like that out of our house too.

Supposedly have full control. It will be nice to put the dryer on the steam wrinkle remover cycle and be able to see just as it’s ending so I can remove and fold them immediately. I have to use my iPhone timer now, and the time always changes as the clothes get close to the end, seems the dryer keeps adding a few minutes and I have to keep resetting my iPhone timer. Also, there was something about the washer either telling the dryer what to set itself to for the load it just washed, or telling me what cycle to set the dryer to. They both have steam, all kinds of cycles and there’s all kinds of options of course. They’re supposedly truly “smart” appliances. Kinda cool.

Paint is done, lights are reinstalled. The new W/D are gonna shine under these bright ass LED’s. If you like how LED’s brighten up your ride you’ll love how they brighten up your shop. The camera doesn’t do them justice, these are bright af.
