garage


Yes its been a while.
For the last couple months I've working on plans to rebuild our garage. Its had a roof leak that is getting worse. Mold is spreading. What started as a plan to repair the roof has expanded to tearing it all down except for a cinder block wall that's adjacent to the neighbor. The grand plan is to make the space more usable as a shop/studio. At the moment the only electricity to the garage is a single(blatantly not code!) 15amp circuit that's also on the same breaker as the bathroom and a bedroom. Currently that line runs in a conduit overhead spanning about 12 ft from the house to the garage. I'll be cutting a trench this week to run service to a sub panel underground. I've decided to do this now because I worry that once construction starts it won't be enough electricity to run power tools.
