I am going to go look. I am way over my head with this one, but I am down to not much choice but to do it myself.

Man I looked at the panel also, It sure doesn't look that way. It's a GE panel.

So..... I am confused, not about the wiring buy about the multi breaker. It's been said that if I want to run a multiwire circuit that I should get a double pole breaker that would kill both circuits that share the Multiwire. I understand that I would need to have one black wire that was on...

Thanks Charles. That hardly seems worth the risk of not using a GFCI and it seems I would still have to run two "whites" for four circuits. Is it okay to run one ground wire (green) for all the circuits and just branch them out at the conduit box? It;s got 3/4" conduit so with one green it would...

After the bum got fired for his botched wire job, I really need to run a 110 circuit to power my sump pump. The conduit run he put in runs about 50 feet and was supposed to be for three circuits, one for the sump pump, one for the lights and one for the wall plugs, well actually it was supposed...

Well, to add to the drama, He did call me back and apologize and tried to resell me into letting him finish the job. When I told him no, he started telling me how I was stealing food from his family, his lights were being cut off etc. Yuk. I had another guy look at his work and he said...

OMG! Man it took a turn for the worse today........ I agree and I didn't think his wiring was up to par. .... He has done just a lot of bullshitting me over the last couple of days, always late, always got some BS story. Well He got to what he said was his halfway point and was very rudely...

Yea like a ******* I paid him partial up front......

I also noticed that he doesn't have a ground wire in the conduit. I don't know if he is deleting it or he plans on grounding it to the metal box. The metal box is screwed to a metal beam that runs around the shop and also the main panel is mounted to and grounded to the same beam. Can you do...

Well I decided not to try and wire my garage/barn myself and hired what I thought was a competent electrician. His work so far has left me wondering and his pay me first attitude now has me worried. I told him that I needed a (2)220 volt outlets at the far end of my shop. One 30amp for a...

No, Its a metal building, I would basically be building a room inside that building. 5" thick re-barbed concrete with a concrete beam(?) around and crossed. Built inside of this:

Well I got my Garage Assembled or at least paid someone to do it. My kids want me to build an office aka "the Boys room". I mapped it out on a floor plan and decided to make it 14'x21' including the bathroom area. Upon looking at it, That's going to take up about 300 sq. ft. of my 3200 square...

Also It took the guys I hired about 8 days to get it assembled, but it was a rainy mess and they dealt with lots of mud after the rains stopped. This is a picture of them trying to unload it. I had to put down a lime and gravel driveway just so they could get back there. I want to finish out...

Sorry for the delays in getting back to questions, I am up to my neck in busyness with the house barn and work. I bought the Barn from Rhino Buildings, turns out they are a wholesaler for a bunch of metal building suppliers and can sell it to you cheaper than the suppliers will. My building...

I have a wiring book from the box store. I rewired a house and really didn't have a problem. I just never started from scratch before. I am pretty sure I can do it, just probably won't be the most efficient wiring done.
