    Awesome work on the sub-panel. In my opinion, it's the best accessory a shop can have.

    Enjoy.

    Congrats.

    I just got mine finished over thanksgiving, and it is by far one of the best things i have done in my shop/garage. Having dedicated circuits for certain equipment is a must for me.

    The hardest part i had was running the conduit from the old box on the side of my house up into the attic through the awning, but it was worth the work.

    Where did you find/buy the air hose reel? I have been wanting to get one of those sometime.

    Lou,

    I will have to say that is the most well built sub-panel that I have seen in home construction. Normally you only see the squared off grouped wiring in well made industrial stuff! Congrats!

    Yep, very nice work. Makes my subpanel look pretty shabby.

    It makes a world of difference in the shop. I just finished mine last weekend and went around and turned everything on just to watch the over head lights NOT dim.

    A friend picked it up for me at Costco. I think it was around $55. Money well spent.

    Thanks Chris. I like to be neat. When I wired my last garage, the inspector just stood there and shook his head. He said he never saw such a neat job even from the professional contractors he inspects.
