Welcome to this week's Project Update Thursday
This is speed PUT: 15 minutes before I close up, so speak up if you have any updates

Well, planning my Eletrical Upgrade right now, 20 Amp circuit for a workshop in the basement, upgrading the garage from a single 15A circuit to a 60A subpanel, probably two branch circuits for starters, 1 20A for air compressor and 1 15A for garage door opener and lights
Hopefully by next week I'll have finished the basement wiring and have at least half a trench dug

@BigHomie Are you upgrading the service as well, or do you have enough spare capacity for all that extra stuff?

@NiallC. Painted the first coat on my living room this week,

@waxeagle Doesn't count until you've gone through three colors and then settle for the last one because you're tired of painting. :P

@NiallC. I should have enough, I only have 100A service but the dryer is gas so that saves some juice, the only load being added right now is my Air Compressor, which is what started this whole garage upgrade fiasco, and it's only a 15A

My gas utility did some work on my gas line on Tuesday, and inspected my furnace and water heater. The T&P discharge tube on the heater has to be replaced, so my PU this T is that I bought a new one. Stay tuned for next week's episode, where I install it

@NiallC. you should see our hallway, there are half a dozen tester colors on the wall in there. We finally settled on a color for the living and a color for the hall, then went to get the living room, started slapping the paint on and realized it wasn't the color we asked for :(

@waxeagle "Not the color you asked for" or "not the color you expected when it's covering a whole room, not just a little patch" :)

@NiallC. not the color we asked for. Not sure what happened, the tester was a different finish, can't decide whether to live with the mistint or take back the other gallon
(we don't mind the color we got, but it wasn't what we were going for and may not match the hall color we picked

I guess that's it... apply a handful of stars to make it look interesting in the transcript...
