Need some advice on wiring up my detached 4 car shop before the inspector shows up. I just powered up my 100amp sub panel for the first time and have 2 outlets installed for the garage door opener. I have been using an extension cord the last year (hit it with the plow 3 times). I dug a 4'...

I bought a house last year and the master bath is also the first floor bath. Not normally a problem with just the wife and I, but if people visit or stay over, then they are looking into our bedroom while doing business. Time to build a door. Options are short with a 66" wide opening, radius...
