Well, the tv antenna came today. Surprisingly, getting 16 channels right now. Got the little 19" setting there now, but picking up a 32" tomorrow. Then deciding where to mount.  Got the phone installed   too.  Went to Lowe's and got the aluminum to make the mounts for the antenna.  Figured the best place was right up front.  Got a solar light installed over the side door.  Bright at night. Bought an alarm at Harbor Freight, like for the driveway. Works great too. Sensor just inside the doors and receiver in the kitchen. Any motion, I know about it. The wife said she didn't want me to just sit around, now doesn'T see me much.  LOL

And the son mentioned we are going to work on getting my house WiFi a little stronger.  Got to have that access....... :fingerscrossed:

Do yourself a favor, run a cat 6 line in a conduit I'm guessing there will be a trench to bring power, just separate the conduits by more than 6" & you'll be fine... Cat 6 is pretty cheap, I bought a 1000 ft box for about $100.... 1/2 PVC conduit is cheap...  Having good solid internet access in your shop.. Priceless...  WiFi won't work well in a metal building....  Correction, it'll work fine, if it is generated & received in the metal building but it won't work coming from the house even directional antennas don't do well....

As this thing is progressing and I keep moving stuff around, I try to complete something before tackling another process.  TV for example.   Guess some music is next.

Time is relative.  The wife usually lets me know when I have to go to the house!

Anyway...moved a project in but will take my time on this one.   Batteries are average, think I have a wiring issue.  Time will tell!


The boss wants to ride now!

Earlier you said you may insulate it.  Remember metal will bring condensation. Seriously think about acreflective type of insulation like solar guard, or if you go with a fiberglass type look into vrr metal building insulation.  It has a reflective back and is faced with reinforced vinyl that will give a finished look and will help improve your lighting.
With vrr you can insulate walls and ceiling for around $1000.00. There's a company in South Carolina that is called silvercote that I recommend.
