I need a garage/barn

[Sir Henry]

Looks great Sir Henry, especially the distance shot with the house included. The new shelter fits in nicely.

It will look even nicer with these rocks lining the bottom of the dirt and flowers growing.

Those are some good sized rocks. How will you move them? The bigger ones look too big for your front end loader to pick up.

My tractor is rated at 1,900 pounds. I’m guessing some of the rocks are bigger than that. If needed I may just roll them. If that doesn’t work a neighbor has a bigger Ford and if that doesn’t work he also has a D8 Cat.

[Sir Henry]

I ordered more rock. This time they are 12-18” instead of 18-24”. I also bought some nice Vietnamese pots.

Additionally I’m getting an estimate on a 20/30/50 RV electrical post. This place is really starting to come together.

It certainly is Gene, and it looks great!

[Sir Henry]

Thanks Mark.

Looks great to me!

I’m getting the RVport wired today. Currently I’m running a 30 amp 110v extension cord plus two 15 amp cords to it. I’m having a 100 amp (20/30/50) rv outlet installed inside the shed. It will be both 110 and 220 volts. The motor home takes a 50 amp 220. The extra 15 and 30 plug ins will be for outside lights and such. Here is the current post.

I’m leaving the 30 amp on the wood post there mainly because it’s already there.

It’s taken me about a month to move the rocks into place

That’s beautiful Gene, almost like a contemporary Norman Rockwell painting. Well done, the boulders look great.

Thanks. It really does look nice from the road. I’ve had several neighbors stop and tell me I did a great job.

[Sir Henry]

The electrical work is completed. I do have some gravel retouching to do but that part wasn’t 100% completely anyway.

Work in progress.

This is the plug-in at the RV. Currently it’s plugged directly into the 50 amp 220 and the RV is now set to that setting.

It’s really nice to have this done correct. No more extension cords for the RV. The orange cord is to the RVport lights and will eventually be moved to the port so it’s hidden.

I would say you've created another residence, . A very nice one at that!

[GeoBoy]

Nice job, Gene.

[Sir Henry]

It’s a spare bedroom and guest house. Come visit me and you can stay in it.

I'd love to Gene!...and my Neice lives in Couderay, which, I think is not too far from you up on the Chippawa Flowage. ( not sure of that spelling). Anyway...very tempting.

[BigAl52]

Looks good Gene congrats.

The Chippewa as we call it is nearby. Of course it runs about 200 miles. Feel free to come and bring some iron. The range isn’t complete but it’s useable.

[Sir Henry]

Looks good Gene congrats.

Thanks. If dine a lot to the place since you’ve seen it.

There’s just something about a proper electrical set up that brings a smile to my face. I’m a bit OCD about electrical work and there’s no excuse for not doing or having it done correctly. When we inherited my wife’s uncle’s place he lived in a shack. There were two or three panels screwed to a post outside including one with the old screw in type of fuses. We hired an electrician to come in, remove all the wiring to these panels and install a proper service panel in the shop building with the feed buried. Be just our luck to have a spark and start a wildfire so we eliminated that.

Your panel looks great and very safe.

[Sir Henry]

My RVport is working out great. It’s open halfway on the sides and all the way in front so some snow blows in. The important part is it’s off the roof. This is the most snow we have had this winter.

This is a 17x45 foot open sided building. I have another 30x50 closed side garage on order. It’s in another thread.
