New old subpanel

A couple of weekends ago I finished re-running all the house connections to the main breaker on the main floor. Which then allowed me to run the new wire for the 100amp sub panel in the basement. It is the same old panel, but I moved it to the " furnace room" ( what I call the operations room). I had to run a 3AWG wire which is a bitch. I drilled 1 1/4" holes through the joists with the occasional 1 1/2" It took 2 of use the push/pull the wire through.
Drilled onto 1/2" plywood.

All the new basement connections will be made here. Allot of power will be going to the studio room. With full lighting and effects the basement could be drawing up to 80 amps. Weight: ...maybe 70lbs

Main breaker. Most difficult hook-up ever. the wire simply does not bend. I tried to have a little bit of a loop within the box. nearly inpossible.

More grass.......holly crap

We are finished with the landscaping, some irrigation systems and gardening still needs to get done, but all the concrete has been poured, all the walls are up, as well as a bunch of random posts.

As for the exterior lighting, we have gone with a lot of small garden lights from homedepot, and Kichler. The Kichler ones of course being more expensive. Kichler is one that we bought the 300W transformer from through a local irrigation and landscaping store.

Before I go anyfurther her is a photo of what the landscape was going to look like,,,, it is very similar to what turned out. Just replace the new extension in the back yard with grass.
Many many years ago, we ran teck wire from the panel to behind the hot tub as well as a couple other locations. It wasn't necessary for us to use tech wire, we could of simply run lumex wire shielded within a pvc pipe. But what is done is done. Since we have fed wire to behind the hot tub, I have installed a receptacle and switch ( for a post light) to power some garden lights in that area that can be switched on from inside. This is separate from the rest of the lighting that is being fed from the main 300 W transformer in the front which will be on a timer.
