I hate you. Thats just awesome bro, you are king :bowdown:

I'd like to see pics of this installation

Bio, Are we talking GFCI's or Arcfaults? ArcFaults yes

Norcal that panel looks clean! My kind of work! :)

ACE, thats what the smart guy does! AMEN BROTHER! :) Too many times Ive had to add a circuit to a panel and the cheap @$# penny pintchen contractor whimped out giving a small panel. WOO HOO, he saved how much for a couple bucks?? Yes that small panel works just fine for the current load and...

Putting lights on the garage door in my opinion is just wasted time and money. Vibration is killer on filaments and the up and down of the door is going to shorten the life of whatever lamps that are on it. I think safety too, just too easy for someone/something to fall right on that lamp or...

The light output for the wattage used and the life of the lamp, does not make it a good canidate for general lighitng (in some cases). Halogen PAR lamps I do like for recessed cans in homes/stores/businesses, but more and more CFL's have taken the lead in the Industry for $ reasons. If you were...

I just discovered this thread! Im guesing your in "Happy Valley"? if so...Not only does Max Hall hate you,,,so do I! LOL Im Jealous, very Jealous.

So your wanting to plan on : 1-lighting 2-air compressor 3-wood working tools 4-future welder And you want to do all this on a 60A? Lets just say that your running a 50A welder and plan on 10A for general lighting, maybe a fan blowing some air around while welding and I dont know if your...
