I completely understand. Better to assume the norm than assume otherwise, as the way it was done in my panel is wrong in most cases. Thanks for the input!

Hey guys, Quick back story... Purchased our house here last summer, had the exact house layout my wife wanted and came with a 12x24 garage for myself. Fast forward to this spring...once the snow started to melt, it proceeded to flood my garage, then promptly refreeze, leaving me with 4 inches...

Called a buddy who is an inspector just to be sure and you are correct. Being my meter has the dual lugs, I am ok to run the neutral and ground off the same bus bars. Same with the URD, it runs from outside directly to the box and is allowed. Thanks for the help. In most people's cases, they...

Are you sure on that? Inspector signed off on the box installation in the garage... Hired that out through a reputable electrical company in town. They wired the box,one 15amp circuit to a light and one 20 amp circuit to an outlet. I'm seeing it done both ways, with a separate ground bus bar and...

Thanks for the info. The first few bids I got were in the 9-$10k range(ridiculous!) to build up the yard about a foot and get the slab poured. Got a pair of comparable quotes yesterday that are more in the range I was expecting so the project is officially a go! Found out I'll have to get my...

It'd only cost a couple hundred more by the looks of it to go with 2x6. Probably going to end up going that route. If you don't mind me askin, what'd it cost to pour your slab with the excavation work? Garage looks good btw!

I'm planning on not having partitions at all. Going to be one open shop. I'm actually into the human powered bikes! That's one thing I am still figuring out. Planning on some sort of dust collection system down the road. We'll see once I have the place up and running.

Hey Guys, Finally got the go ahead to build my dream garage. Going with 28x32 with 10 ft walls on it. Currently getting bids on the slab to see if its worth doing on our own or hiring it out. Have quite a bit of excavation work/fill that will be needed to get the garage high enough off the...
