My DIY Power Distribution Center.


Just finished up my Power Distribution Center. The Center contains 5 timers and 13 recepticals with a 0n/0ff switch for each receptical. Once I got involved in building the power dist. center, It cost ALOT more then expected. Here are a few costs on the parts, The prices are not exact, but close to it. Cost was about $275.00 to build, give or take.

Steel enclosure 18x18x4- $23.00
Power bars- $4.50 X3
On/Off Switches- $4.00 X13
Recepticals- $3.00 X13
Wire- $30.00
Wire Acc.- $25.00
Timers- $10.00 X5
Can of Wrinkle Paint- $7.00
Zip Ties- $2.00
20amp plug- $10.00
Main Wire to Center- $10.00
20amp wall GFCI receptical- $12.00

and more time then I have wanted to invest in the unit, I think a power strip would have be ALOT more simple.....
