It's way past time for an update on our ongoing Shed Project.  The Fuzz admits he has been a bit slack.  But we might as well face it, he's like that!

Well, for some time now, although he has been moved in, sorta, he has been powering all his equipment with a pitiful little drop cord, plugged into  the side of the trailer.  This has not been a particularly good situation.

Well some of the Young'uns finally pushed him into action.  The 1st Son, and 4th Son in Law had been threatening to come out and help with this project for a while.  And in truth, The Fuzz was not looking forward to burying 100ft of electric cable all by his lonesome.

He had already made that fateful trip to the Home Improvement Store for the expensive wire, and now there were no excuses left.

The guys got to work with pick and shovel, while the girls hung together inside.

The weather was nice and the work went along OK.

By the evening the wires were buried, and connected to the main breaker box*.


The Son in Law spent the night and helped with the interior wiring the next day.


And so, we now have real power.

The next thing will be to get some of the bigger things, like the table saw, moved in there.  And of course there will still be a lot to do, making workbenches, shelves and the like.  But things are finally coming together.  It's been a long term project, but is turning out pretty well, The Fuzz thinks.  


*...where The Fuzz blew up his little multi meter trying to test things.  That was an exciting moment.  240 volts can be pretty impressive!
