....Sometimes whenever I'm irritating my wife or she wants to watch a "chick flick" (without my comments! :rolleyes: ) undisturbed, she'll say "Why don't you go back out to your "playpen" (shop) and leave me alone"........:D
I'm in my shop a good bit, and when I'm at home my shop is usually "open" even though I may be in the house eating, on-line (SMC of course), watching TV,or even taking a nap ;) etc.
While it's open, the lights(min of six 8' florescent) and radio are always on even if I'm not out there. When I'm out there I'm using the table saw - air compressors - sanders - radio - fans (many a days this month the A/C) - routers - just a lot of power!!!
71076 71077 71078
When I built my shop I installed a 200 amp service panel and I have separate power run to the shop.....My own power bill, which usually runs $30 a month or less......LESS THAN A DOLLAR A DAY! :eek:
Am I lucky?......So,I'm curious.....What do youse guys pay for power to play in your "Playpens" each month?
btw - I haven't got my bill for August yet.....my shop's little window unit (5000 btu) ran an awful lot last month!!
