Consider a wireless switch. The Best In-Wall Wireless Light Switch and Dimmer for 218: Reviews by Wirecutter | A New York Times Company

I think we are going to end up with something similar to this.

Me too! My "kids" are three teenage daughters so I hope they don't have the same expectation out of the hot tub. At least the shop will be more productive.

True story! I have had a pretty good time in that shop on occasion.

Good deal. A few years ago on another property I installed 5 LED floods with motion sensors and I could NOT keep them from false triggering and I know a few things about motion sensors. I guess I could ignore them when they trip but I had to look. Never again LOL

No way we could stand any kind of motion light. It would shine directly into our bedroom window everytime it came on. My wife does NOT like to be woken up in the middle of the night! After the first night of false triggers I'd actually be scared that she would do something drastic to the shop.

All my LED lights outside my house are on a switch. We turn it on when it gets dark outside and we turn it off in the morning when we wake up. If we are sitting out on the porch and enjoying the evening, we turn them off. I've never met a motion sensing light that was reliable, and dusk to dawn are not much better.

No kidding. I put up with dusk to dawn for years until I installed programmable switches. They are 20 bucks at Home Depot and they are awesome!

Congratulations on your new shop! Did they use wooden blocks for rebar chairs (post # 7)?

Yep! As long as it works I’m good with it. He has a great reputation as a builder, hopefully I’m not they guy that gets a bad job.

Might try to scrape up some of that gravel. Then start carrying dirt.

 

[EddieWalker]

I really like your choices in color!!!

Thank you Eddie, I do too! I have to give my wife 100% credit for the choices though. She did a great job!

First day this week that they have worked on the shop. Got the pad uncovered, and started on the overhang on the corner.

 

[ovrszd]

Awesome. The porch is gonna be very nice.

When ur an old fart like me you can sit under it during a warm spring rain.

We got doors while we were gone to visit family in IN for Thanksgiving. Best picture I’ve got since it’s a blizzard out there.

I like your door glass height much better than mine!!!! Yours look to be a little low but better than having to stand on tip toes to see out.

Are your doors 7 panel? I tried putting my glass in the third panel but they were just too low. So mine are in the fourth panel.

 

[JHurt]

Mine are six panel with the glass in the third one up. Here is the view from the center of the shop.

Bottom of the window is 52.5”.

3” thick doors with double windows.
