actually i am only going with a 110 welder now, i have friends that weld better than me, we trade skills ! compressor is the 2hp ,would like standup one some day, i mainly wood working and car restoration hobbys, sounds like a 90 amp feed line could work, is the 60amp line realistically/box...

welder , air compressor, wood tools, small kitchen area , gas stove and water heater possibly to keep the amps down, Am i thinking too big for going 100 amp, i thought that was a good minimum to go with. thanks

So i know understand ,i think, the previous owner put in a substandard cable in the ground to feed the 100 amp box that was in the old garage. I need a 3 #copper to new garage, is aluminum ok for this purpose, for the cost element ? I am going about 30 feet. do i tie this into the home...

yes ,grey outer jacket

wire to garage is copper, 6-3 with ground, underground cable, is this suitable for 200 amp service, if i choose to go bigger than a 100 amp service in garage. is it better to go that big "just "in case, donot want to redo again

i need to refresh my memory tomorrow on the guage

detached garage , 4 wire and an underground wire feed

I am about to finally construct new garage,opinion is needed on two things . Garage depth, I work on studebakers, Larks and a new arrival is a 1960 Hawk, with the longer hawk is 32 ft ample for front room work space. Obviously 34 is better, but may not be easily possible. Second opinion...

The garage at our new house has a toilet plumbed in ,we had never had a stool installed, when I did I find a slow drain after the flush, too slow. appears to not be vented. Could be something in drain, I have flushed with a hose. the sink drain is draining to accept the hose at full...
