You absolutely can DIY electrical, provided you draft a plan fallow Codes and get inspections,
Do not buy cheap parts go with a all
Copper busbar power panels like GE there is a lot of math power loads and so on to figure, do yourself a favor for resale value run a few 240 outlets and over size the box. Like a 200 amp main power panel 40 spaces. Do LED over head large area lights run both 120 and 240 circuits.
What you use as a garage area
Id use as a wood working shop.
But what size is your main meter on the house, mine is rated @ 200 amps thats not big enough for a shop add on but the service to that power meter is 400amps. You may want a separate meter on the shop.
These cheap electronic power power meters can only pass 200 amps unless its a comercial unit.
But those use 3 phase.
Yours is only 2 phase. 3 phase uses less energy.
Take it through the attic, drop it down the other side wall in garage and drill out the bottom (id probably contract that) so you don't have the conduit outside the house. better than tunneling under the driveway and gives that clean look.
😢😊
Can you change the name from project molokai? No one here knows you… I live here my family founded homesteading here I don’t know you
Get with your electric utility and see how much it would be to run a new service to the shops own 200 amp meterbase. Will very likely be cheaper by the time you get the parts and labor to run it from the house. Then you'll have enough capacity to do whatever you want in the shop without compromising or overloading the house electrical system.
Definitely right, the difference in cost would be minimal if not cheaper
Also with a separate shop service you can get commercial electric service my shop electric is cheap!
I put my shop on it’s on meter because before I would fire up the welder causing the house lights to flicker.
I’m glad this is the top comment. The only way it should be done!
Same, my 40x50 is on a separate meter which is a commercial meter at a substantial discount. Is it possible to bring electric in from the back of the property?
Like other comments stated, you should absolutely run a separate 200 Amp service to the shop, you don't want to be tied into the house or limited on what you can run without overloading.
True.
Many times services to a detached garage is considered commercial and has a much higher rate per hour.
Might even be able to take it from the back road too for a pretty short and easy run. And then service can hide in the back and never be seen.
200 Amps?!?! I want to know what load calculations you’re coming up with to justify needing 200 amps. It’s not a business with 5-10 employees. A little overkill. 100 amps max.

Man you hit this out of the park.
What he said... lol
Old seats make great shop seats we made a wooden frame and bolted old car seats to it for when we need a brake from working on stuff, we can even recline and it's so nice 😀
Just had an epiphany..........seal those burnout marks into the floor so that's the first thing you see when you walk into the shop through the garage door.
Greatest idea!!
This would be a simple sub panel install, bore under and across the driveway and throw the panel on the opposite side where you cant see it. It may be a few extra bucks. But youll be thankful you spent the extra couple bucks to do it clean and right.
Another option, depending on where your power comes in from is a whole nother service (so another meter) and you can get a full 200amp service and not worry about overloading your current panel. Especially during summer if you ever decide to add in some sort of HVAC. It is pricey, but it might be the best option depending on your plans.
Whatever you do, get a load calculation done on your current panel to see how much your utilizing and how much power is availble and whether or not your current and future plans will fit into what's available. The Sparky, if he's worth anything, will be able to advise various options to fit your needs/budget.
How the electrical would be run is something you should have considered when pouring the slab. You could have put in conduit coming up the slab so your panel is on the inside. Also plumbing would've been good also. Once your shop is up and running you'll realize a restroom and a sink would be nice.
Id epoxy those skidmarks as part of the shop man it would look so freaking cool
Sir you are killing it!!!! This series has been an inspiration and phenomenal to watch. And the fact you are doing the work yourself makes it even better. Keep up the great work buddy!
Upgrade your service to a meter base/panel at 400A as the main breaker can be there Square D QO
Inside your garage will be the next panel that is rated at 400 amps and you can put a 200A breaker to feed the garage and go through the attic like you said and put that sub panel on the exterior and feed in so the main breaker for the sub panel is easily accessible if needed
Or, 400A at your meter like above but bore under the driveway and head to west side as it will cost more, but it will be more presentable
All 240V you can figure out where you want it and for any lifts the boxes can be places overhead and ensure strain relief is used so the SO cord can hang with no issues and go right into the lift.
So many options. I'll reach out to you to help
Bunker branding for merch.
Can you bring separate service in from the rear of the property to just serve the shop?
Depending on how much power you want at the shop, you may have to upgrade your house service, panel, and the utility may have to upgrade the feeder size.
I just love the energy and video montages. Exactly by my taste. Cant wait for the next one!
Theres actually a hose/pressure washed attachment build for getting things under concrete pads. My neighbor has actually used it and it works if you dont have too many rocks underneath
Those are fine for things like phone/ cable/ sprinklers but power and gas lines have a minimum depth and typically electric must be in schedule 40 grey conduit under driveways which sounds like a pain in the ass but it is a huge help if/ when the power cable fails
Loved it!
Well done!
Good luck guys!!!
The shop is looking great, outstanding job.
Look around the front of your yard, there will be either a transformer or what's called a pedestal, which is an electrical distribution hub. It would be green and have some signage indicating there is electricity inside. If its on the same side of your drive way as the shops outside wall, it would be easiest to have your electric utility provider run a new service directly to the shop. May be a little more expensive, but you would be much happier in the long run as having a 200 amp service dedicated for the shop would be a much better situation.
I used to do tv cable in Texas back in the day. We would use a pvc pipe with sprayer nozzle on one end and garden hose attachment on another end and force water under driveways and sidewalks through the Texas clay to borrow that PVC pipe under the driveway and then we would run our wires through the pipe when it came out the other end we would take off the nozzle and take off the garden hose attachment and a pipe under the driveway sidewalk.
Definitely need some LSH merch 🔥🔥🔥
This has become one of my favorite channels your killin it
Came for the shop build. Plenty expensive by its self. Now I'm shopping for a line lock. Thanks Lonestare Hawaiian!!
Depending on the size if the service youbhave in your house and how much uou want innthe shop i would suggest its own service
A shop that size with lights Rec and 220 outlets for lifts welders plasma cutters etc you'll want a 150amp service minimum
The conduit will go from the main breaker box, not electrical meter. (On the exterior) Easiest and least expensive is conduit on the surface of the drywall in the garage, exit low on the opposite side, then into the dirt to the shop where you will put another breaker box. If you don’t want the conduit visible then you’re cutting into the drywall and foundation and repairing. If you want to go across the driveway then you’ll have a concrete patch that won’t match.
Easy. Buy a 225amp panel. Replace current panel on home. Run wires to shop. Install 100 amp sub panel in shop. The hard part is finding an electrician that won't rip you off since the job needs to be permitted and done by a licensed electrician.
I dig the music 🔥🔥
If there's a utility pole close to the back yard you might want to consider running your power from there.
Hey, Was nice meeting you in the airport last week loving the build keep it up.
Very nice way to break in the new shop with a burnout! The progress is looking very nice also. I'm in the process of installing the epoxy coating. They put down the base coat and flak, then scrapped and vacumed up the left over. They're planning on putting down the clear coat tomorrow. It's looking really awesome! I'll be really busy this weekend trying to put everything in its new home and also supposed to go to a couple car shows.
I really like your Wife's personality, she rocks. Electricity issues, I firmly agree with earlier posts about running a line from a utility pole behind the your property and have a separate meter base to the shop. In a short time you will thank yourself doing this.
Heck yeah buddy coming along well.
Unless you are getting a separate service, the connection to the shop would not be made at the meter head as you described. The connection till be made on the homes main panel or on the homes sub-panel if it were to have one. If it doesn’t already have the sub panel the panel installed in the shop would be the homes sub panel. Re: said sub panel, it would be best to install it so that it’s on the inside shop. It may very well be code in your county that the shops panel be “indoors” so to speak. I would do a quick search to see if there is a fellow YT that is also a licensed electrician and work out a collab or something. There is a great Electrician/YT in Texas but he is out of the Austin area. Maybe there is one in the DFW area. Keep up the hard work. You’re doing great. Fellow HOA wanted man. Godspeed.
Get info! Thank you!!
Cool 😎 . Definitely run a separate 200 amp service to the shop . That’s what I did to mine and the service run was in the back of the shop to the road to the for the electric company. I also ran a 12/2 wire from the house to a dedicated outlet in the garage for the intercom and some category 5 wire for a security system. I did run a gas line from the house to the shop for heat .
The Ai music is awesome!
Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?! The custom country song. So Epic!
Way to go with the Ramset.
Ok two things!! Your power for shop? I would consider to have your power company drop a new line separately into your backyard and have a separate meter. As to run it from the pole they drop in vs running from your house. That is unless you can according to your HOA or building codes.
Second, I’d make a bench for those seats and add them to the garage as an accent and seating. 😂😂
I put my shop on a separate meter too. Had its own 200amp service. Plenty for AC, hot water, welding machine, 2-post lift, fridge, lights, fan etc.
Directional drilling will be pricey, but so will repaving... good luck on that. As far as internally, figure out where you want your outlets and what you're planning to use them for, consult with a licensed electrician, run your wires and boxes yourself (even your receptacles) based on their input.... get it done and have them come do the final terminations and sign-off... FWIW
I love your vids
Dream shop is coming along great! I'm in Canada, so unsure of building code in Texas. But ideally a conduit run from the main house to the garage would be ideal. You would put a conduit up from the slab, into the spot your shop breaker box. Another thought would be to run a new power line from the poles behind your house. And also, water in the shop would be handy. Keep it up dude!
NEW SERVICE! My house and pole barn have separate 200 amp service and 2 different meters. Can't go wrong.
Directional boring is a good option for you. They can hit any spot you want. A little more expensive but the time savings makes up for it.
looks like you and your wife had fun at LS Fest. it was nice meeting you there. Our diff decided it was time to give up.
You can get a dual lug meter base, but they will need to replace the feed coming in to be 400 amp rated. That's what I did for my house and shop. I have one meter base with dual lugs. I have a disconnect for the house and a separate one for the shop.
Suggestion: send in the C5 seatbelts to be re-done in black or teal.
I’d definitely look at upgrading your electrical to 200A. If the house is 200a then 100a to the shop. Or if you hit the shop first then the house. I’m assuming you have under ground services to the house. So I’d recommend upgrading that to 200A or minimum 150a. better safe then sorry. As for running it to your shop. I’d recommend looking at ACWU it’s teck cable with aluminum wiring. Copper these days is way over priced. And so is PVC. Save the hassle and just run the teck cable it’s armoured and ready to go. You may need to sleeve it coming out of the ground just for mechanical protection from weed wackers and cars. But one stick of pvc is cheaper than a whole run. Also would recommend looking at Leviton panel you can add smart breakers Incase you’re away and wanna shut something off.
Keep the dry humor up!! Absolutely, hilarious 😂
Is electricity availability from the back road??? In favor of separate service HD200amp too!!
Also, you can handle getting a conduit under the driveway.......
Check with an equipment rental place and rent a towable compressor and a device to auger or air jack horizontally. Find an electrician friend on the channel too!!
The amount of power you’re going to need for the equipment in the shop you might want a separate service with its own meter.
Just put 200 amp service to my shop and wired myself on my 30x70 build on a budget. I was 2800 total into everything with 240 plugs for welding, lifts, 35 120v 20 amp circuits, hyperlite exterior lights and ceiling lights etc.
My only part of advice is the box needs to be easily and quickly accessible from a door. So you or a fire fighter does not have to enter a door and walk across the shop to a shut off etc. place it right next to one of the doors for easy access.
Don’t forget to run 220v in the event you want to weld. As well ensure all plugs and wiring are size for 20A
When you put the windows in use a router to cut the sheeting. You'll get a nice flush cut with no guess work.
LSH, the advice below is sound but you may not know what they are referring to. The meter on the outside of your house is a 200amp meter. That means ALL the electric in your house, garage and everywhere is limited to 200amps by that meter. You absolutely positively DO NOT want your shop to be powered off that same 200amp meter service. You want a separate meter service for your shop. Others have stated to use a separate 200amp. That would probably do for many people. However, I’d personally put in 2 200amp or 1 400amp service (400 amp has been on back order a while and isn’t cheap). Why? My shop has a lot of 220v tools. A table saw, an air compressor, mini splitter (an A/C unit), a lift, etc. You think you have enough until you have a couple 220v things running and it blows fuses. Also, make sure your electrician pulls ALL 12/3 wire. Don’t let them pull 14/3. Finally, make sure he drops several 220v outlets for you around the shop. I’d personally put 2 on each of the 3 main walls.
Thanks for building a shop with a door big enough for my big truck. When the weather gets bad, I’ll swing by for a quick service out of the rain. Your HOA will freaking love it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I put my shop on its own 200 amp meter and I love it. I can do anything electrically in there that I want.
Love the Lifetime hooping getting some air time.
🏀🗑️
Loving the 11's 😅
Dude super jelly right now. Everytime I see your ZL1 I get the itch to mod my 2SS…😜 🤙🏻
Impressive.
Electrical service I would go with option 1 with and exception. After through the attic then down the wall on the inside then out near the bottom. That way there is no conduit going down the outside wall.
I would have run the electrical from your panel in the house through the attic and out the back wall of the house and down the back wall in conduit and then it should be buried under the ground 18" to 24" and then come up inside the wall in the shop and install a sub panel and the do the rest of the wiring in the shop from there. I think you will probably need an electrical permit and get it inspected when your done. I did my own wiring and sub panel in my shop and it's easy all you have to do is watch some you tube video's and learn what the electrical code is in your area. Good Luck!
For your oil changes: get a Fumoto drain valve to replace your drain plug. Tool and mess free, no more stripped or leaking oil pans.
I made garage seats out of my old TransAm seats. Only issue i had was stability when the seat gets reclined too much. They looked awesome though.
Make those C5 seats into bar stools for the shop!
Give the Bunker Branding guys a call for your merch!
If you have an O'Reilly's in your area, you should be using Wix filters. You could also go with Napa Gold. Both are the same with different labels.
Put 2 anchor bolts in the concrete and a strap that goes across the base. I saw this done on a delivery and the guy said he hasn't had to take it down for any storm. Some how survived the duracho.
ok song!
So how are you liking the scissor jack for quick jobs like oil change and tire rotations? I have a large shop but finding a permanent place to dedicate towards a lift is challenging, so I’m thinking I may like the mobile option better, even if it’s more limited overall.
I read somewhere that the PF64 oil filter design has changed. A lot of people have been returning them thinking they are wrong. I Haven’t check the two I bought not too long ago.
The coincidences in my life are wild. I am watching this in the car and tell me why a guy in a C5 behind me literally just got pulled over while you were talking about yours. 🤯
Aloha, greatly enjoy the channel. Wanted to suggest blue seatbelts on the Vette to match the calipers. Keep up the good works
If the electrician will let you...have him show you where he needs all the holes drilled. Do that and it will save the electrician tons of time on the rough in. 🤘
For Electrical, could always run some solar and a battery in the shop, depending on your planned power consumption it could be a more cost effective solution, although not sure how much the HOA would like it.
Pull new service from the street straight to the shop. Likely comparable in cost with far superior result.
Do a separate dedicated 200ampservice for the garage.
Lot of people here calling for 200amp service, which would be great if you've got several people working in your shop at once. In my shop 35x40, I've got my lift, welders, plasma cutter and large air compressor and it's all running off of 100amp service. But for four years I've had no issues because I'm just one person and therefore I'm not running everything at once. I've never once had an issue with breakers tripping even using the welder at max amperage. I feel like the 100amps is plenty. Just my opinion though 👍
They will have to run wire for the new meter base anyways. Might as well future proof it for 200amps.
get the electrician to tell u what he needs to code the codes vary from state to state
It's not likely you will be allowed to run a separate service just to the garage. Run it thru the attic and down inside the wall or on the inside of your garage, then thru near the bottom of the wall, then underground to the shop.
Check rr buildings, Kyle just had a core drill run his electric for his shop. I'd look into doing a separate 200amp service for the shop. Future proof it for ac, future pool, or resale. You can also run conduit for Internet and water to use now or future.
Not sure if you can, but ask for your garage to be on it own service, In SC where I live, this is an easy option to do. Then you are pulling wires from the street.
Have Oncor or TNMP up size your house meter to 400A. 200A for the house and 200A to the shop.
You can bore under the driveway with a rented device. This would place your conduit where your electrician can use it, they might even have such a boring device. Then you could mini excavate a ditch for the conduit. It looks like all the services are underground, is there a transformer near you property? Could run a new line to the shop for max power? Good place to use the electrician knowledge and creative ideas.
what brand is that hydraulic lift you are using on the car, I have been wanting to get one but don't know much about them yet...
I would highly recommend a key pad for the man doors otherwise you’ll tend to overuse the garage door opener.
With the shop the size it is and your intentions of usage of it you should run it's very own electric service and have it wired for commercial
No way the HOA permitted the structure for commercial use. Commercial service would be way overkill (and over budget). Would be nice, but he’s not a pro, and outside of a welder and maybe heat I can’t imagine he has any serious power requirements. Lifts and lighting don’t draw that much.
Ok I did not say he built it for commercial use I simply stated for the size of the structure and the different areas of use inside it he should have wired for commercial electrical use
Before you try to speak on this please look up the difference of installation of wiring for commercial and home
@@paulok8407 I am very aware of the difference, commercial adheres to much stricter code requirements resulting in much costlier insulation. Before replying to a message consider reading the entire message, and avoid using ‘red herring’ arguments.
*installation
hahaha that HOA song tho 😂🤣
It might be cheaper to add a new electric service to your garage. Then going from your house. Do you have a 200 Amp panel? And how much are you using on panel? Just giving you an opinion? And when you run your underground pipe you could own like 3” or 2” depending on what you do to save money
Wow just 10,000 away from 200,000 you are growing quickly live it ps I love the love for the bow tie but I think a jeep could help your channel
I highly recommend you do square washers instead of the small round washer. Not sure if you taking advice or not
FYI on the AC Delco filters, the first one you had is the new updated design. Silverados take the PF63 and there was discussion about the differences. The updated design has the dished center which is the first one you had. AutoZone probably just has old stock yet.
Figured that might be the case 🤙🏽 thanks! … Didn’t want to risk it given I was racing the car a few days after 😅
If you have Oncor or CoServ request a second meter for that building. They will come and install it typically for free. You just pay your $25/month meter fee.
Glad i scrubbed through rather than waiting for a build lapse to happen
Can you bring in electrical service from the backyard?
put the conduit in the garage com out near the bottom of the garage wall so its not down the face of your wall
Don't forget to run a conduit for internet out there in the shop
Your electrician should be able to point you in the right direction and help you make a decision on what’s best for your situation. I would say your best options would be either to upgrade your house service to a 400A and feed a 200A from there to your shop, or just build a service on your shop and meter your shop completely separate from your house.
To fasten that short base plate, you would be much better off with a hammer drill and Tapcon screws rather than using a stud gun, which is likely to crack the concrete and loosen the anchor bolt. 3/8 chuck hammer drills are inexpensive at Harbor Freight.
Only missing on the car is the double seat belts chest since you changed the seats
I’m a licensed electrician with Texas and with the amount of power you want in your shop, I would recommend getting another service that will come from the transformer to the shop. Let me know if you need any help.
