Installing Electricity In My Ex-Hoarder Shed!

Installing Electricity In My Ex-Hoarder Shed!



My ex-hoarder shed is quickly transforming into an incredible workshop. We no longer have a muddy driveway, electricity has been installed, and we are almost done lining the inside with metal!

  1. Make sure your dad remembers you size the breaker for the size of your wire not the load on the circuit, if you oversized the breaker for your wire size it’ll burn up the wire if it gets loaded too heavy but not heavy enough to trip the breaker, so make your breaker match your wire and use wire bigger enough to accommodate the load you anticipate.

  2. Cole, I have the same type of heater in my shop and run it at 60-70 degrees and it performs well. Its not as efficient as your forced air furnace but I believe you will like it for the shop. I admire the way you guys tackle these projects.

  3. Cole, I work for a township highway dept in NY. our 5 bay shop has tube heaters and we have found the addition of ceiling fans set to low helps alot during the winter to keep the hot air pushed down and circulating to dry the trucks better after a plow run.

  4. Um please be careful-my husband and his family just lost their shop in a fire- lost every thing antique car work trucks tools to do any type of job and we all heat with wood now we have nothing to cut it with and split it with- A life time worth of tools and equipment –

  5. in the UK we have green and yellow for earth, brown for live and blue for neutral , go earth to earth, brown to brown and blue to bits, keep up the good work, as long i suppose you get it signed off after all should be ok. There is always paperwork in no matter what you do.

  6. Over the decades of being licensed in two countries as a union journeyman electrician and a son of a dairy farmer, I've come up with a saying to describe the non electrician who attempts their own work and is confident that they know enough to do a proper installation that meets all applicable codes including the rule which requires electrical equipment and cabling must be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner. " Everybody thinks that they are an electrician , farmers being the worst".

  7. Damn. Pigtail your power source to supply power to the bottom side of all 3 switches. Top side of each switch you connect to the black wire of the light you want controlled by that switch. Wire nut all of the whites together in the switch box. Pigtail all of your grounds together and run pigtail to each switch and box.

  8. From the Netherlands here. Here most things electrical like tubes and boxes you wire stuff together in are made of plastic these days instead of metal. That way there is no chance of power on the box/tubes in case of any malefunction. No electrician though.

    For outside lights im a big fan of those time/light thingys. They go on automatically if its time and its dark enough. No switches needed, no forgetting putting them on/off.

    And like you said, the basic things you can easily wire yourself. Just pay attention and draw things out if needed 👍
