Not too much work the last couple weeks. Got cold and radiant heat is not filled and dontw want risk anything freezing. I got some regulators and Milton V hi-flo quick connects and have been deciding on the aero-motive retractable hose reel's new hose. Also been thinking of outlet placements.

A little time spent thinking saves a lot of time later...

What he said. I'm a thinker.

Warmer today and I had the day off so I worked on some wiring for the ceiling in the new shop. Shop ceiling is 16' to the bottom of the trusses.

I was just thinking about this over the weekend.

After installing two of my circuit 2X4s I decided I did not like the blue box for wiring them together. So today I changed out those blue boxes where the 2X4s meet for 4" metal boxes. MUCH easier to wire. I also used Wago 773 push wire connectors to make joining the wires MUCH easier. Sure beats twisting wire nuts. Here is the 1st circuit of lights.

I just discovered those wago wire connectors this summer when I wired my new shop. What an improvement over wire nuts. Ken

Nice idea, I first saw those when I bought strips of T-8's lights they had them incorporated into the wiring.The only thing is you have to keep an assortment of them like 2,3 &4 wire ones.

I have made a total of 12 of these boards now. Four more to make for the metal halide lights then I need to install them (4 are up already - see lights above).
