🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video I install the electrical to help convert a storage shed into an off grid battery powered home office for my brother's gas business. The backbone of this project is the BLUETTI AC300 with two B300 batteries and Power Transfer Switch. Let's go!

God I wish I had you as my brother Sam. You are a huge blessing! Merry Christmas 🎄

You gotta love a nice clean installation. Cow outside at 13:00 , take care.

[@sam-and-angela]

It was nice to see the space finished without having to do the work, too! :) And you've got a great eye for the cow! This building is next to one of the several pastures.

Hi Sam Angela & Boys,interesting video.👋

Glad you enjoyed it

[@steveferguson1232]

This was very informative Sam. We are starting new kitchen In February and you showed me which can lights to use. The mobile home has only one light and I’m going to put6 or 7 in kitchen and 3 in pantry. We are enlarging pantry and kitchen is 21’ galley style kitchen by 11’7” wide. Being an old retired cabinet and furniture maker, I’m building the cabinets. Great as always and your brother couldn’t keep the smile off his face. He’s one happy man

[@rebeccahendrickson8003]

When you get this building done are you going to put siding on your home? You talked about that when you first moved there. You are so talented are you going to build a house some day? Thanks we love watching.

Absolutely a beautiful electrical installation

Thank you kindly

Super informative video, my head is swollen from all the smart stuff you shared 😳, good to meet your brother !

[@AlmostHomestead]

You do good work buddy. Just subscribed to The Juice Box.

[@mattsara2802]

Looks nice. Off grid man cave I like it

[@rubberdc]

What an amazing job you have both done , well done .

[@cmarshall108]

You can mount that box in between the wall studs for a flush look with the drywall (or whatever you plan to put on the walls inside)

[@sam-and-angela]

Yes, but you loose any insulation R-value when flush mounting to an exterior wall. Mounting to a backer board was the best solution for this install and always my preferred method when possible.

[@lisam145]

You both have good "video presence".

[@paulinesmith61]

Sam, you are so talented and do an amazing job on your projects. Hi Sams brother! 😊

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks so much!

[@tracymankey9314]

What amazing job Sam

[@cantgetright742]

Maybe consider putting some shade on one of them sides of the building so you have a place to pull in cool air. Pull out hot air on the sunny side.

[@shaniaa9287]

Great job Sam. Love it❤

[@sharonromer6606]

Nice job guys👍

[@douglasvamateurradioandmore]

These help me with ideas for my office/workshop/ham shack. Could a generator be wired up as if it was the grid power?

[@gary-gilbert]

Also I should have put an entry door awning on mine. I have the same 9 light door and rainwater blowing in on it in less that 5 years rotted the bottom of the door and the door would have been covered by warranty but my painters did not paint all the edges of the door. Amazon had a $49 polycarbonate awning that may be a nice addition too. Cheaper than a storm door.

[@feathers352]

Nice neat job.

[@robertdknight]

Derksen buildings? 8' walls? I like what I see on the build quality on this video. Nice job. Looks great.

[@sam-and-angela]

The building is actually from a local business who build and sell the sheds -- a family owned business. :)

[@buckpowers4837]

Everything looks and performs great. I just wish I understood how it all work

[@tnridge]

you can tell the company is proud of their product I sure can't afford a Bluetti. LOL

[@wadetyler5056]

That’s a pretty nice Man Cave/office! What kind of business is your brother involved in?

[@sam-and-angela]

It sure is! He has his own gas piping and service business. "Anything gas" is his motto. (propane, natural gas)

[@skyhawk36]

Hi, nice work but question, doesn't he need metal plates going on the studs that wires are going through? I know for North Carolina that is code.

[@mikewatson4644]

I couldn't tell for sure, but it looked like they used a sleeve that fits into the hole. Serves the same purpose and doesn't cause the bump in the drywall. Available at Home Depot in my area

[@gary-gilbert]

Something I wish I put in my garage and in my storage build are ceiling fans. While you’re helping your brother you may want to see if he wants you to hang a ceiling fan for him too.

[@douglasvamateurradioandmore]

In the sub panel, why do you connect some of the wires rather than insert them into a breaker?

[@ninabooker2904]

That’s not an office, with a flat screen tv it’s a man cave ! 🤫 I won’t tell. It’s good to see brothers helping brothers.❤

[@sam-and-angela]

He already has a recliner in there too! I told him if he gets a couch we'll have to start having regular "business meetings"! :)

What about his mini split outlet?

[@cantgetright742]

Do you know where to find the extension cables for them halo lights. I can’t find a 3 prong that fits on those

[@JohnPrendervilleJr]

Sam if you eventually put some solar panels up to be the "off grid" side of the system can you use the generator as the "grid" leg or does it have to be AC from the road

[@sam-and-angela]

If a generator is feeding power to the main load center (breaker box) to act like incoming grid power, then the transfer box will operate just as shown in this video. :) You can easily switch from off grid to generator.

[@michellelaclair]

HOW SAM? is you so smart?

[@sam-and-angela]

Lots of educational video watching on KZbin! :)

[@michellelaclair]

I am unable to comprehend how to wire up a box the way you did so I am sure your aptitude is superior if all you have to do is go to KZbin University >Props kind Sir

@ 12:31 Hope that your not mixing 14/2 (white) and 12/2 (Yellow) Romex and connecting them both to 20 amp breakers. The other thing I don't like is the sneaky imbedded commercial @ 10:51 Which I turned the volume all the way down!

You two sound alike

[@kenactofkindness4017]

nice, how old u must be wear ur hat normall lol see 85 yr old looks good for u, congrats on new office ,

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Any breakdown on the costs? Not down to the penny, but a basic overview. Obviously, there is no labor costs, right?

[@sam-and-angela]

No labor costs between family. :) All of the electrical components including lights, outlets, and trimmings cost right at $800 at the local hardware store. The BLUETTI unit and Home Integration Kit (transfer switch) are not included in that figure.

[@kirktruman6707]

You did insulate the walls did you not

[@rhales3577]

Sam did you insulate between roof rafters if so did you use any spacing between roof and insulation?

[@sam-and-angela]

I (happily) didn't insulate anything in this building! :) He hired contractors for that and the drywall install/finish work. I doubt they installed rafter vents as the roof of the shed is not vented, but that's an assumption.

Are you and your brother twins? You sure look like it

comment

[@mikejarvis7701]

Why did you put 200 box on the outside of wall? I😮t would have been better in wall so you can pit up drywall.

[@sam-and-angela]

Several reasons: allows the wall to be fully insulated, easier to connect the transfer switch box conduit, easier to add in items in the future, allows the conduit to run straight down through floor without hitting the floor joists.
