    Well I now have 4 lights in my shop completely connected Eventually there will be 4 to 6 zones in the main shop area I probably won't have more than 500 wats per zone.
    Right now I have them divided into 2 zones

    the switches on the left are for the inside of the container one switch will light it up enough to find stuff while #2 will make it daylight
    the 2 switches on the right are the first 2 zones in the main shop I ran 3/4EMT to each zone so I can add as many conductors as needed later

    This is what a single 15 watt light does inside the container

    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    LOL, all of the Barneys I even met turned out to be carbon copies of Barney Fife.
    Since I am wanting to start on the East wall as soon as possible. I decided while I was moving furniture around inside the shop that I might as well get something moved that has been in the shop since before it was even a tent. Besides hopefully I will get to sand blast and paint it soon then I can put it back together.
    I have a pair of trailer tandems under both ends so I could move it sideways off of the tri axle assembly group and have moved it from 1 side of the shop to the other to get it out of my way So in order to move it out of the shop the dolly's had to be rotated 90° No way to lift it with my backhoe and I didn't want to try and drag the A frame over it so that only leaves cribbing and jacks

    It is amasing how much stuff will accumulate around or under something in a few months
