 +
 +===== Deployment =====
 +
 +==== Phase 1: Land Prep ====
 +
 +**DONE**
 +
 +The area where the workshop is going to go needs to be prepped. All the cedar trees need to be taken down. Stumps need to be dug out and removed. Any smaller woody plants need to be removed. The land needs to be leveled and raised a little.
 +
 +Consult with some guides on prepping land for a slab.
 +
 +
 +==== Phase 2: Permits ====
 +
 +File paperwork with city and get permits.
 +
 +==== Phase 3: Slab ====
 +
 +**DONE**
 +
 +Have the slab poured.
 +
 +==== Phase 4: Building Erection ====
 +
 +<​del>​Choice Metal Buildings delivers and erects buildings purchased through them.</​del>​
 +
 +Order placed through Alan's Factory Outlet. ​
 +
 +==== Phase 5: Framing ====
 +
 +Wood studs will be put in to support shelves and allow for easier addition of wiring as well as insulation.
 +
 +==== Phase 6: Power ====
 +
 +Have Duke Power come out and add a power hook up to the building. This will take some research. I'm not sure if it's better to have power ran from the house out to the building (unlikely) or have a separate meter installed for the work shop (likely best option).
 +
 +Research is needed to see what must be done before they'​ll install a meter. This will also take some city-permits.
 +
 +Standard 3-prong electric outlets will be installed at a rather high density (perhaps 1 outlet ever 3 feet?) as well as overhead florescent lights.
 +
 +Along with running power, a few cat-5e cables could be ran from the house to the workshop for network connectivity as well as other communication (e.g. analaog audio).
 +
 +=== Code Requirements ===
 +
 +''​Accessory structures must provide at least 60A service. Exceptions to the 60A minimum exist for one- and two- circuit service to accessory structures.''​
 +
 +A 20A circuit could be provided for lights + computer/​electronic equipment and a second 20A circuit could be for powertools, of which no more than 2 at any time would operate (shopvac + larger tool).
 +
 +Regardless of whether code says I need a dedicated grounding rod + ground loop, I will install one.
 +
 +
 +==== Phase 7: Insulation ====
 +
 +Spray foam insulation can be added (once all wiring is done)
 +
 +==== Phase 8: Floor ====
 +
 +Something a little nicer than raw concrete would be nice, even if it's just a paint and fleck kit: http://​www.epoxymaster.com/​index.php/​store/​category/​decorative-fleck-non-slip/​product/​116-custom-decorative-fleck-create-your-own-pattern
 +
 +I could do a NC dogwood in Filipino sun.
 +
 +==== Phase 9: Built-in Shelves and Desks ====
 +
 +Build some shelves out of studs and plywood.
 +
 +Or.
 +
 +Buy some welding gear and some square tube stock and practice welding by making shelves and desks.

 +  - Either EMT (electrical metal tubing) to route around the shop.
 +  - 100A Breaker box - suitable for branch from house or own box (need to research if Duke power does cheap meters for workshops/​garages)
 +  - LED over head lights
 +  - I could include a transfer switch and use the generator to power the workshop--it'​s added cost but will let me delay the cost of getting a mains hook up.
 +  - The workshop seems like the perfect place to experiment with DIY solar power tie-in. Boy, I'd love to have a stack of salt-water batteries.
 +  - In the very least some deep-cycle batteries for running ventilation fans seems like a good idea
  
-===== Power Run =====+==== Required tools ====
  
 +  - Conduit cutting tools (probably already have an adequate saw, but a purpose-made tool will speed things along)
 +  - Conduit bending tool (good for other stuff too!)
 +  - 12' ladder for running wiring and lights
 +  - Proper wire strippers (going to be doing a lot of stripping, time to get a good pair of strippers)
