The electrician came out today, and got most of the work done. He couldn’t get some parts he needed to do drops from the celing, so no 220 yet (which is OK for the moment). He was told they will be in Monday, so I’m crossing my fingers. Time to go get some lights.

Alright, so this third guy showed up today and passed the work that was done. The second guy, on Friday, showed up and didn’t do anything except say he couldn’t do anything. What a waste of time.

Hopefully, the electrician can get out here tomorrow or Thursday, and finish the rest of the work, and I can be building crap on Saturday!

The electrical inspector came out and inspected the panel today. There are a couple things that need to be addressed before they can do the rest of the work. I really wish this work had been done already – like three months ago. Then I could be about my business instead of playing hurry up and wait.

So, the new panel is in, but it has to be inspected before he can add all the new circuits. He says the inspection should happen Monday, and then the new stuff can go in after that. Ah well…

The electrician is here, working on the panel. He’s upgrading it from a 100 amp to a 200 amp panel, which should give me plenty of power. This, of course is why I’m updating from my phone.

So, the electrician is supposedly going to be here Friday to do the job. The job consists of upgrading the panel to a 200amp panel, and running nine new circuits in the garage for all my tools and lighting and other crap.

There will be dedicated circuits for the air cleaner, the lights, the dust collector and the air compressor. There will be a 110 and a 220 circuit on each side of the shop, and a 110 at the back.

I hope he actually shows up. My confidence in his reliability isn’t very high.
