That's correct, never know what the future brings. :lol: Everyone has different standards, perhaps she's the most useful nail in the toolbox?

LOL, great conversation here fellas. I'll go ahead and update everyone on the project. I decided to go with 8-3 wire, I'm going to do the line drop tomorrow and hopefully have an electrician here shortly to do the panel connection and hard wire the compressor. My question for you guys is, is...

Sorry about not including information on the compressor fellas. Its a Kobalt TQ3126. Actual HP ratings are a little hard to find, I'd look in the shop but I'm presently away for work.

Perfect, thanks for the suggestions fellas!

Removing the drywall for the install is an option as well. Basically I'm just irritated that the electrical contractors haven't given me options based on appearance and cost. The garage I'm adding the line to is roughly two years old, unattached to the house, and has a panel inside it...

Perfect, thanks for the help! Looks like I need to climb up there and fish some wire. Now's a great time to install that ceiling fan I've got laying around too I guess.

I think this statement hits the nail on the head. The attic is open, with the manway located on the inside of the ceiling. The area is open, and clear of debris. Thanks for the replies guys... the shop has two 240v lines already installed, one for a welder and another for the 4 post lift...

Great photos there guys. I was wondering, do any of you know of a vendor that can ship a lift to Alaska with minimal costs associated. Last vendor I spoke with was quoting somewhere around 1k for shipping. Thanks again!
