many electicians will refuse to wire a shed unless they put in the lines from the house to the shed. We had it all laid out, outlets in and everything; all they had to do was connect the wire coming from the house to the box on the side of the shed. We called out 4 electricians, 3 flat out refused because the electric line, though deep enough, was too close to the water line to be to code.Hi Tom;



You did not put a time on your mail for the meeting. I need to do the Thursday Morning Skills as that is when my kids will be in school, and I was planning on heading to the office straight after that.

tch witch, but I am on glacial till with a lot of boulders just below the surface. Since it was such a pain in the butt, we put both electricity and water in the same ditch about 5 inches apart, but sometimesI had to bundle them to get between boulders. Finally someone agreed to do it, but he would not use any of the conduit and outlets we installed in the shed, he put up newones right next to mine!

Well, crappo. I have no clue what happened there!I was typing along, when all of a sudden a bunch of my type vanished and was replaced with part of an e-mail I wrote earlier this evening!
 
The school Holiday Bazaar was a flop. There were not many shoppers. My stall was in the back corner of the gym facing the wall! The pizza line passed by my table, but all the people in it were facing the pizza table against the gym wall right across from me, the line went around the corner between me and the wall. Most of the people in the line had come to listen to their kids play in the band, and as soon as the band was done, they left, and the place was dead for the last 2 hours.

I did do $45 in Artist Swaps with other vendors for gifts, and I sold another $85 in goods; 5 sales - 3 to kids buying bracelets or earrings for their moms - one of the kids was the daughter of the shop-owner where I normally sell my goods!, 1 sale and a swap to the vendor at the next table, and one to a co-worker who came to see what I had. I marked down nearly everything I sold to just over the price of the materials.

I did meet some really nice people including a young gal who makes earrings in a very similar style to my stuff. She did not do well here, but last week she did a venue in Bellevue where she made nearly $700! She asked if I could teach her how to make necklaces and do wire wrapping and asked if I would share the stall in Bellevue with her next year. She and I both have only one 6' table and the stalls are pretty empty with just one table. I think that could work out well as the items would compliment each other.

I shared my stall with a friend who makes yummy italian Christmas cookies from a family recipe that has been passed down for generations. He family has a bakery in Italy. She was taking orders for cookies. She only sold 4 boxes (2 to me, 1 to a co-worker, and 1 to a kid). What a shame. The cookies are made with cocoa and dates, and walnuts and a bunch of other good stuff.

That is cool! I didn't know those existed. BUT...this outlet has individual springloaded doors over it, and I'm not sure if they are removeable or would fit inside any of those covers.

Yes they should be removeable. There will be one screw between the doors. You would just remove that screw and the cover. Install thefoam cover hat will come with the new cover then screw the new cover on. Really it's not rocket science you can do it. Just remember go at it like eating an effenalant. One bite at a time.
