Second crack at the lighting design
Here's another grid design for the lights. This plan would place 1 fixture every 100 sq feet. With this density I would put each row on its own circuit or if I got dual ballast fixtures, half of each row on a circuit. I'll have a large main panel with 200 amps, so no worries on the number of circuits in the box.

I'm Back! Now a 40x80x12 Pole Building
Hi Guys,
It's been over a year now and has taken me that long to get things in order. I just signed a contract for my 40x80x12 Shop with a local pole barn builder. I reduced the height of the building from 16 to 12 in order to keep within my budget which is pretty strict. It also allowed me some funds to start finishing out the inside. So to recap this is going to be a metal fab and woodworking shop. The two will be at opposite ends of the building to reduce the chance that metal grit and grime will stay out of the woodworking area. I've got some pictures of the land where the building will go and renditions of what the building should look like below.

So the builder has me about 8 weeks out on their schedule. They might bump me up if an opening comes available. The plan calls for a dirt building pad to be constructed and then built on. They will pour a 4" slab with monolithic stem walls around the perimeter. I'm going to contract the dirt work. I calculate I'll need 10 loads of loam to do it. Haven't got a quote yet, I'm getting recommendations from the builder on dirt guys in the area. This building will be our primary residence for a while. Can't wait to get all my machines and tools moved in. This is something I've dreamed of for decades, but waited almost too late to accomplish (I'm 54).
Thanks for looking.
Jeff
