garage/shop/studio…

I should be able to get the shop open to the public for about $3,500. Part of that is for the garden shed. I really need to get the roving pile of dirt out of here.

Garage My Place Data Center

I think I can be open in January, sans carpet and display cases. I have almost everything I need to record audio and video to hard drive except for some quality microphones and a mixer. My only stipulation is for six balanced microphone connectors.

The wiring is nearly complete. I will have about 36 drops around the perimeter. With 20 20A circuits, 4 30A circuits, I should be warm enough in the winter. The 30A circuits are for the Cyberpower PR-3000 battery backup. At this point the weakest link is the cable modem. Although I haven’t had to reset it in a while, it can go through a phase of unreliability.

I have a bit of framing and decking to do to finish the rough-in. After that it’s plumbing. Bleh. The spendy part of this is the tankless hot-water heater. Last time I checked it was $750 for the setup I wanted. I think I will use the white ABS in 3/4″. I have most of the valves for this and the ABS is pretty cheap. Then we are into finishing the insulation, sheetrock, paint, and carpet. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.
