You are a crafty one George ! How do you get all this stuff done ? I'm getting tired just thinking about all you have been up to.
 
Its been years ago but when we built a pole barn equipped with a concrete floor our local county electrical inspector insisted all the receptacles be GFCI protected, so we obeyed lol

I got 3 things accomplished today. last one is on Tool talk.

I might be old, but I can still get it done.

Tomorrow I plan to cut a 10 ft wide strip of sod. Then before I dig trench for 100 amp electric line from house to pole barn, I'll roll the sod back, dig trench, put wire and red caution tape in trench. Cover it up and roll the sod back.

I have 100 amp load center mounted. Dug under founder for house. Drilled hole inside wall to run wire to 200 amp load center in house.

George...... Seriously speaking..... Have you stopped to relialize how much money you have saved over the months of doing projects yourself. And
us other YT followers too. It's amazing to think about the talent involved as a whole group because if we paid someone to do our gardening, electrical work, farm work, mechanical work etc. we'd all be broke. Wingnut
 
Wingnut,
I grew up on a farm. There wasn't much my dad couldn't do. He overhaul engines, welded, brazed or soldered things that broke. Did electrical, refrigerator, built his house, built a milk processing plant. I grew up thinking that what normal people did.
Dad never watched TV or sports. He worked every day of his life. Can't take time off. Cows had to be milked twice a day. We made hay, grew crops, made silage. Raised pigs and chickens.

Working is all I was taught as a kid.
We did go to Church on Sunday. Mom made fried chicken. Church was my only time off.
I usually worked until 10 pm on school days. Had to get up at 6 pm to work before school bus picked us up at 8 am.
I didn't realize until later city kids missed a valuable education.

You sound like you could be my brother. Except we never had a silo. Every thing else is just like when I was young. With dairy there was never a sick day. Cows had to be milked twice a day, before and after school. All the city kids would talk about where they went on vacation. We went from one hay field to the next. And other kids told what they got for Christmas. We might get a new pair of jeans complete with iron patches already installed on the knees. But growing up on the farm like that kept me out of trouble.
 
We had a silo. Used neighbors silos.
Dad even made a trench silo, concrete floor and sides.
We used silo blower to fill the trench then used a JD D to pack it in.
Used farmall H with a pipe loader, armstrong power steering, to unload silo.
Cattle feeder was close by. Wasn't the greatest tractor, but better than using a fork.

Hope you have better luck with lights than me. This week I will have to replace the same light for the third time in a month for a customer. The photo eye on the two lights I've put up so far broke keeping the light on during the day. Going to use a different brand this time.
 
It all looks so good. But what keeps the weather out of the hole in the siding where you mounted the light? Seems awful loose in the hole. then the electrical plug right below the hole.
 
Sometime in the future I might have to replace fixture. I want to make it easier to trmove6.

The pipe is inside the fixture. No way wasps can get inside fixture.

A little silicone works just fine.
