Looks good, and that is a lot of work you accomplished.

Nothing's easy!:laughing: Good job on the run to the garage. You gave me some ideas on how I'm going to run water as that was still up in the air for me. Nasty having to pull up the deck...I'm in a similar situation but I think I have enough height under it to work the conduit, etc. and don't need to take it apart.

One thing I'm glad my dad talked me into was two hydrants, one in, one out. Cost about another hydrant and some extra fittings ($40 or so) for twice the convenience.

I'll have to get the specs on them tomorrow, I made sure they were good for -20 degrees F so I had no trouble with them starting at night. They were about $50 a piece though.

Wedge, here is a picture of the box for the lights:

And an early birthday present to help me out with the rest of it

You will love those new drills. I just bought the whole set with the drill, impact driver, circle saw, sawzall, and the a light. It's cost $575.00 but so far they were worth every penny. I took the circle saw out of the box and put one of the batteries in and used it for two days sawing roof rafters and ceiling joist without ever charging the battery. That new 20v stuff is kick azz I still can't believe how that little saw cuts and how long the batteries last. Oh, and good job on the garage.:laughing:

What kind of amperage capability did you run from your house to your barn? What size and type of wire did you use?

I want to get electric out to mine soon and am hoping to do a 100 amp circut out there ...
