Yeah, that kinda thing doesn't bother me. As long as it works!

I think I can. I will plumb it in above the sill plate and the LB should just protrude from the drywall for the all-important "access". I thought about that, yeah, just really don't want that massive ugly LB at eye level :sick: Yes, sounds good. I'm still a little miffed the options are so...

2" LB won't fit in the wall :( about 80' closer.

I guess I can slap a junction box at the bottom, seems like an awkward way to turn wire, though.

2ga wire and a 90a breaker, yeah, that could work, I guess. The conduit is a problem. The path the subpanel needs a sharp 90 to stay in the wall cavity.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense. I ran the 12-2 wire to the rough in, now: the big question! I need 50' of cable to connect the main circuit panel to the subpanel. I am going with 1/0-1/0-1/0 Aluminum SER Cable w/ 2AWG Ground...

No, lol, I bought it from an electric supply place in Freeport, TX about 6 years ago. I had a camper and a 70' run and my friends scolded me because I was using 12-3 wire for 50A service. All three conductors are black.

Hey guys, I've enjoyed this forum and the many helpful users. I bought a rural property 3 years ago, came with a small 20x20 garage. I started a 14x20 expansion. When I got to the electrical part, I thought, "I better check with the GJ guys on some thing". :)

Great build, any updates?

This is it. It has 3 insulated wires.

You guys rock, thanks for steering me away from my janky idea. I ordered this Senville Aura unit, I will use 12-2 wire and a 20A DP breaker.

Ok, very good, thanks! I had not thought of it needing to be a dedicated circuit only for the AC. The wire: I already have the 8ga wire left over from a previous project, somehow I am losing sleep over not using it :) I haven't bought the mini-split yet, I am leaning towards this...

That made my day!

I've built out my attached garage an additional 14'. I am adding a 100a subpanel, running 1/0 AL lines from the main to the subpanel. I have a 220v circuit for a 18,000 btu mini split. According to the manufacturer, it draws about 6.82 Amps. I am planning to run a 30a breaker and 8ga 3 wire (2...
