Power to the Shop

I've wired the interior of the shop, but not much to show for it. I need to dig a trench from the shop, around the house to the main power panel. Then I need to replace the main power panel, which means there is no power to the house while the panel is replaced. Gotta do it quick. Getting all of my ducks in row first so I can do it quickly is not easy as I tend to slowly take one step at a time. As it stands, I need to remove a buried cable I have to power the pump, cause that's in the way.

I found out why one of my breakers blew that takes power to the garage and I need to remove or fix that. There is a large black mark on the outside wall where the metal conduit corroded thru, dropped across the wires and apparently cut one of the lines. I'll need to find a better way to protect the wires and/or decide if I want to continue running that much power to the garage. Always something.

I swept the garage up again and found a cat(s) been using the sawdust as a litter box. Phew. I sprayed some stuff on the wet floor that is supposed to help remove the smell. I also started blocking the door with a piece of wafer board. Still no siding up, hence no pictures.
