My New House & Workshop

[Jim Oaks]

I made a little more progress. The conduit is installed and the wires are run into the breaker box. I stripped the jackets off a few to run them, and left a section at the bottom to label them. From here I'll remove the jackets as I install the breakers.

I still need a GFCI breaker for the shop outlets. They're required in a 'garage' and I've shocked myself a few times from faulty cords on old power tools, so I figure I might as well follow the rule. The only other place I have GFCI is the restroom, and the other sink I installed, but the restroom got a GFCI outlet and the outlet by the sink connects off of the GFCI outlet.

I got two GFCI breakers for when I put power in my shop (since it was actually inspected) and it was all the outlets I had at first. Every now and then my puny little Delta 8" miter saw trips the breaker with the inrush current... it's really annoying. The rest of the breakers I put in are standard ones... I get it and just try to keep good cords on everything...
