fox update: the original hole for shop vac exhaust has been deleted. i had some leftover concrete mix i put in a 5 gallon paint bucket with a tight sealing lid this spring and made an incredibly thick batch that could hold itself up for a vertical edge. after about a month, or perhaps all the way into next spring, i'll give it some caulk around the edges and then primer and paint.
also added a second vacuum inlet on the other side of the workbench and hooked up the semi-rigid spoot with the blast gate. next inlet will be all the way on the other side of the garage and i gotta think through any other stops i want in between cause it's going through the ceiling in a way that won't allow a pipe cutter to rotate around it, so at the very least i'll need to add a wye or sweep tee with a cap over it.
fox update: more data conduits in, as well as the fiber for future use. it can just stay coiled up in a 4-11/16 square box until it's needed, surely multimode transceivers will still be around by then. no pull strings yet, ran out of time to get to that. the joist bay above is getting mighty crowded with conduits to various places, there were already two up there going upstairs before i started adding any for the garage.

on a side note, has anyone ever used a roto-split for anything but armored fiber? do they start becoming useful for like 10/3 and larger solid conductor MC or something that winds up being difficult to squeeze into splitting?
