Finally!!!

[wood carver 2]

Well, I  finally pulled the trigger and retired and moved to the country.
After a long search, I found a  nice property two hours north of Cambridge. The move was the most difficult one that we had made, but now ,God willing, things are starting to settle down.
It's so nice to see trees and wildlife instead of traffic and noisy neighbors and to have a real workshop.
I'll post a couple of pictures in a bit.

Here are some pictures.
This is the real estate ad photo of the house.

This is what it looked like a couple of weeks ago...
Luckily, it's melting now.

Ok, that picture won't upload. Is there any way to make the file smaller?
Anyway, here are a couple of my new neighbours...

Nice place... how bout some shop photos?

I'll post something when I'm able. Right now the pictures are not loading for some reason.
I found the old system we had for uploading pictures was easier for me. I used to click on a photo, resize it, and it would load easily. For some reason,  I  can't resize them anymore and they take forever to upload, if at all.

Well, I  don't know what happened,  but it posted.
Anyway, that's my new home. I mean shop.
Most of my tools are in there, but they're just in a heap right now. The building isn't insulated and the electrical needs to be redone. The former owner cheaped out and I have to run a new heavy duty cable out from the house,  then run all new 220 volt outlets and one 220v, 30 Amp outlet for my wood lathe. My buddy is  coming up next month and I'm hoping that the conduit is big enough,  or we'll have to cut a new trench for the bigger wire.

A 2" conduit will be fine for a SER cable. When i wired my shop i had a large roll of 8 gage copper wire that i had left over from running new power lines to a 3hp well pump that is 500' from the house.  I had an old 100 amp panel i used for the shop that works just fine for all my wood working machines and milling machine. but i don't know if i could run a welder out here. I think some of those draw pretty high amps. 

When i rewired the house i installed a new 200 amp service with a large 200 amp meter main, and pulled my shop power right off the meter main box. I ran under the house to a quick disconnect junction box like you see on hot tubs. then about 100' underground to the shop.
 The one thing i wish i had done when pulling that wire was to include a decent internet cable so i didn't have to mess with a WIFI relay.   food for thought. It's nice having my desk in the shop with a lap top.   Kirk
