[sdiy] OT: Anyone ever build a backyard workshop?

[Nate Reeves]

i use my parents tool shed for my bench!

its got no power so i have to lug out a power extender every time i do  
SDIY!

lol

its not the best but i am not sure how to run power out there without  
violating county (state?) electrical code....

that is for another list!

home depot (and i am sure lowes) sell tool sheds that they will  
assemble (not sure of the cost...)

cheers,

nate
