Title: Making more room
Post by: FORDSBS on October 22, 2011, 12:53:01 PM
This week end I have a new project. Adding another 10 games. Now I have
to do wiring this week end. Add more breakers-wiring & receptacles. I hate
running new wires.

Remember its not the cost of the wire, its the cost of the labor. Run more wire than you need, even if you don't terminate it at either end its there for next time.

When I developed my basement I ran a #4 for 50amp 220v to the outside of my house for a potential future hot tub. Its hanging by the panel and outside its in a box.
I did the same with the 14-2 for 110. Eventually I will add patio lites to the deck.

Yes, it pays to do it right the first time.
About 6 yrs ago I added this room. The guy that did the work put everything on one breaker.
I didn't realize it till later. :208- :279-
Now I have to add more lines & breakers.

Good Job Ford! :3- :131- :244- I need to motivate to go do the electrical for a storage room that we are building under my deck. Plus I have to do the electrical for the side deck that I recently did. I was hoping that your great work ethic would rub off on to me, but I am starting to think that I can do it manana (tomorrow) and just have some food and relax in front of the boob tube??? We did get the copper piping run for some hose bibs yesterday and prepped for the corrugated roofing... Is that enough to justify procrastinating??? :25- :103-

That's a start.
My machines are coming on Wed. If they would not be coming I would be knowing it had to be done,
but would keep putting it off.

Photos of progress would be cool Ford.  Nothing like following a good storyboard.

You might call the power company and get a bigger transformer for all those machines at least 100kw and after that a whole house generator  :148- :148- :148- :148- :148- :148- :148- :148- :148- :148- :97- :97- :97- :97- :97- also don't forget refreshments  :253- :253- :134-

10 Bally 6000's. I don't know what games are on them. They are not shopped out.
It will keep me out of troubles for some time.

WoW! That room went from nearly nothing in it to where there's
no place to open up a Lazyboy chair anymore...  :96-

First 2 pictures are one side of room. 3rd picture is what other side of room looks like.
When I'm finished it will all be quite full.
Area to left is where new games will be going.

You made me look... I think it is a pillow wrapped in a blue or black on one side and white on the opposite side towel.... :103- :79-

Also nice to see NLG on the computer screen. :244-

P.S. Looks like the dog sleeping on the couch got tired chasing the orange frisbee on the floor, or the cat under the table? :208-
