Well I can at least park in it now.
I need to start looking into insulation, electrical and water. Actually I should have already been into it more but I've been too busy with work this month.

Two days later, we have a helluva rain storm and it's totally full of water...
After it dried a bit, I drilled through the foundation, installed a PVC sleeve, and then the water line...
End of the sleeve, at first turn
Sealed up the foundation before covering it up
Busted through the wall in the garage to run the wiring through the conduit...
Started hanging the PVC for the electric...

Got the water ran from inside the basement over to the corner of the foundation
Finished running the water line, hooked up the hydrants, and then bury them (after successful test)
Here is the inside where the electric sub panel is going, after the conduit is ran...

Finished up under the deck, just need to bury, grade, and replace the decking...
Ran an extra 2" for communications... will finish running what I need at a later time, but it's ready to go when that time comes.
Say goodbye, finish buying conduit...
It then sat for a couple of weeks while we went on a family vacation. The electrician then came and we got the sub panel installed. I ran a cheater outlet underneath it for temporary use over the last several days have started running electric.
Trench is settling some, too
Panel setup as I'm working on it....
First outlet (mounted on rafter for garage door opener). Successful test!
Last night I put two lights in the back on one curcuit (had planned on three but it was pretty bright as it was). Then hung up three in the middle, and one over top of the walk in door.
Now that I gather the pictures it seems like it was a lot easier than it was. I assure you it was a lot of work with this one man, sometimes two/one ladder operation! Funny how that works.
