Rats! Video still will not download!
I had to use you tube and figure it out, not to bad. Now I get tempted to video everything but I will control myself. Try again , we are all waiting.

If you delete your post two bad things will happen:

1) Your post count will not go up (we know its all about the post count)

2) We can't tease you about your lack of computer skills.

How are you trying to upload it? How do you normally host your pictures?

1) I didn't consider lowering my post count!

2) I has no computer skill

Upload? Copied and pated from Photobucket. Host Pic? I click "Inert Image"/never had a problem poting a pic. "S" key has to be smashed to work correctly

Thanks Majoho! My little Vette garage/shop is now emptied enough for the electrician to wire it this weekend...........









I stacked everything in the center so he can install the wall wiring without having to climb over boxes (the overhead lighting is a different matter!

Thanks for the offer.....I would wire it meself, but me has to dig a trench 3 feet deep for the power supply.....good thing the trench is only 9 feet long.

I popped the top on the Vette project since the driver's door is stuck shut/I "Dukes of Hazard'ed" it into the driver's seat.........

Can you drop a link to your Photobucket gallery? Did the video upload to Photobucket?

I can give it a shot for you.

The mini-garage is wired.........time to fill in the trench I spent 8 hours digging yesterday (the utility companies located all underground wiring IN THE WRONG AREA even though I had orange spraypaint marking he ground and a sign saying "Check this spot"

I was worried that the 220 power supply to our home might be unmarked, so instead of risking electrocution with a trenching machine, I shoveled the trench 3 feet deep per city code

I hit two underground cables/phone/video....but didn't cut through either since they were inside pvc pipe...WHEW!

Any how.......here's the pics so far...................

All looks good. Now just to get thet lay of the land so to speak, the car is in a different place then the building you just had wired? The blast cabinet will be a very handy addition to your tool crib.

The mini-garage is at our new house. The Vette project is now in the garage at our new house waiting for the mini to be completed. We have a dove family in the eave of the house/a finch family on the utility room door/an owl in the back yard/a redbird family just moved in. My PTSD is giving me a break after a year of hammering me psychologically. I will talk with the car painter this week about doing the rear half of the Vette in Gloss BBBlack ( that will give PRIYA an idea of what the rear conversion will look like)





I think that's it for now
