Time to Move On…
April 16, 2008 – 6:40 pmThe ceiling is finished at last! It doesn’t look pretty but I no longer have to worry about “popcorn” falling down on a freshly applied finish.
A few things I learned when priming and painting a ceiling that has had the popcorn removed. Make sure that you do not leave a thin coat of popcorn residue on the ceiling. Make sure that you scrape it all the way down to the drywall. If you don’t, the primer will peel the remaining finish off as you roll across it. Looks real nasty but oh well. Nothin’ going to fall on my stuff.
Now that the ceiling is out of the way I have moved on to the electrical portion of my shop/garage upgrade. I’ve decided to run a big ass cable/feeder through the attic to supply 100 amps to the garage. Mostly to provide 220v but I will also run a couple 110v circuits as well. The process is pretty slow as I only have a couple hours a night to work on this stuff but I am doing my best.
So far, I have only ran the cable through the attic and I have hung the new sub panel and terminated one end of the feeder cable to the the new sub panel. I will try to do more tomorrow. I have to relocate the hot water circuit to the new sub panel before I can relax and deal with the actual shop/garage wiring.
