    Congrats Bill, I know the feeling. I just recently went from 2 15 amp circuits to 6 20 amp and felt like a little kid at Christmas.

    What I find funny, is that it took longer to be able to plug in than it did to build the whole place. I recently started a new division of my business selling Joyner sand cars and dune buggies so I've been doing 6 to 7 day weeks for Christmas. The soonest I'll be able to get some solid time in will be after new years. It figures, I'm finally ready to rock on some wood work and I don't have time. Buggy's are selling great though.

    Congrats on the juice Bill. I know the hassles of extension cord hopscotch and am looking forward to the day of properly placed receptacles in my shop.
    Congrats on the buggies as well.

    Well, between now and X-Mas I need to turn at least 4 ornaments. Of course LOML wants to go to TJ Max across town. Just so happens there's a Woodcraft next door. "Sure honney, I'd be glad to drive across town with you"
