Picked up the work bench last night. It's 5/32 thick, so a little lighter than I anticipated. I think it'll be OK for what I typically do (I hope). If I had to guess, it's about 250 lbs. My day today will be getting it in the garage and a little rearranging
Do it like we did in the old country!

Video: Indian man loads motorbike onto bus on his head
This man in India must have a seriously strong neck and a good sense of balance as he climbs a ladder to put a motorbike on the roof of a bus, notice his hands on the ladder not the motorbike!

It's in the garage at least.
It's only 32" high, a bit low for my tall stature. I'll eventually raise it 4-6". But my vise is mounted and shit scattered on the jeep and on the floor is now put away.

Fishing SER wire by yourself is no fun. I went thru the corner stud and down into the crawl space, its fished up to the point where I need to exit the crawlspace and back up to the main panel.
Its piled here for now until I can get it all stapled. With the routing I plan on doing, Ill likely end up using about 60' of the 100' I bought. I guess its better to have to much than not enough. It runs off into the abyss where it eventually meets the garage wall
Subpanel will be mounted here. Its clear 30" on either side and about 6' in height. Still need to buy my staples to mount it to the floor joints. Next weekend my goal is to get everything else done; outlet boxes, light switch box, 12/2 wire ran for the outlets and 14/2 for the lighting, as well as conduit for the overhead lights.

Let me think on that, it would probably be better than using a couple pieces of 4x4

Slow progress. I have one wall ready and it took me all f'n day
OP
I was forced to buy some milwaukee tools too 🙂 an m18 1/2" drill and a 1/4" driver. They work really well and much better than my old black and decker 18v and the corded Dewalt hammer drill

forced. I use projects to force me to buy things too. Way cheaper than paying some contractor to do it wrong.
🤣
OP
Another wall and a 1/4 done.
Have one more outlet circuit to do on the shared living space wall then the overhead lights. I'll do a 240 circuit at a later date.

Also....double check what's behind your walls 🤦♂️
This was a big unanticipated screw up. I drilled thru a vent pipe while placing a junction box. I spoke with some of the guys and they recommended a fernco fitting with silicone. So..that's what I did. I'll watch this closely over the few weeks to make sure sewer gas isn't entering the garage.

Damn it! that's the worst. I hope it seals up for you. At least it was a vent line and not a pressure line or electrical!
OP
No kidding! Really pissed me off. I ran everything in the house to make sure it wasn't a drain pipe, but no water ever came down
OP
Another long day. All the lights are mounted. Half of them are wired. I think one more good day and I could get the remaining lights tied in, runs thru the basement stapled, and the subpanel wired to the main panel. I need to repair the west wall before I can wire my last circuit (3 outlets).
It'll be time to sell the house soon! That's the way it always works 😂
