Overhead was an option and I think it is a little cheaper. However - it looks pretty hillbilly and I have a decent neighborhood and this is close to the road so I dont like that option. It wold have to go 12-18' overhead and I would have to trim the hell out of a bunch of trees.... that option...

I have a trailer to get it to the house. GE Load center is what was spec'd I do stand corrected - trench must be 24" deep.... For $1,000 maybe its worth it. It's hell being a tightwad.

Trench is going to be 18" deep. I will ask about the loadcenter....The house is a Square D, but I am not going to assume its the same brand, etc I am pretty sure its worth $1,000 in savings to dig the 18" trench myself. Anyone know what a meter base and disconnect run? Locally they are kind of...

After research with the power company and an electrician the best option for me is running a new 200 line to my garage from the pole. I might be a cheapass... but here is the bid: 1 200 Amp meter base / disconnect 1 200 Amp 32 Circuit loadcenter Trenching (70 feet), conduit and wire $3,500...

I am attaching a layout of my garage - It is being framed and roofed right now. My G Contractor quit on me as he screwed me on the bid -So I am now the GC and have no clue about electrical. I need to save money so I need to do the ordering of parts, material, etc. Any ideas on a typical layout...

Size was based mainly on materials. I started at 22X34 (or around there) and then I got to looking at the stakes before we dug and said "I think we could go bigger". So the next size I could go with minimal waste was 24X34. THEN, my contractor (who now quit) accidentally dug an extra foot +/-...

got some progress working now...even though 1 of my 2 contractors quit on me yesterday.

Finally the rain stopped and we have a floor!

I had just purchased the 1500# car dollies, the casters arent too awful bad...They are actually pretty decent quality and the locks work - but under a load they are hard to get unlocked. They assemble in 2 minutes For the price - when they break - I will buy new casters to put on it.

I'm sorry...but did Norm Abrams join the Garage Journal??? Looks nicer than the new Yankee workshop!

I would pay $50 w shipping for the 3 ton jack if you would consider shipping to 65065

When I went to HF and looked at the US General for $899, there were a couple of things that I just wasnt comfortable with. On the Motors duty rating - it was blank....tells me they are hiding something. In the back of my mind, I just had a feeling that the few hundred dollars I was saving was...
