I'm glad my building did not require a stamp. I can understand your frustration. We literally stretched our 26x24 with a slab on leagl 8.5 paper and handed it to the inspector on site and carried that down to get a permit. Sounds like a racket.

Thanks for the support! :shocking:

Some more shots of electrical.... Wrap going on...... 8/3 on a 40 for my compressor...... To the left of that out of the picture is the 10/3 on a 30 for my split unit 24K unit. I should be able to freeze or heat the heck out of this place on demand. If you can't tell...

Wow. Looks like we made a little progress...... Electrical? You got it. 100 Amp Sub Panel fed with 2-2-2-4 MHF. Trencher saved us a LOT of time. I put it in conduit for peice of mind even though it is rated for direct burial. Tar paper up Roof matched to...

Be sure your can light are ic rated for insulation. If not take the appropriate steps when installing the insulation.

Anyone?

I don't see why not.

I have an aluminum bus in my main panel. Or what apears to be aluminum. So an upgraded copper bus for the main panel would not be a bad idea huh?

Also, If I have 6 outlets that I want to run in a series, or tie together, on the same breaker (Just as an example) that span across the entire wall, Is there a specification that states where to drill the hole at in the 2x4 that the wire passes through to get to the next outlet? I know it...

Some random questions.... Does anyone know how many wires can be fastened in the middle of the 2x4 (Within 12'' of the box I think is code?) with one staple? So in other words I'm assuming if I have three switch legs going to a three gang box, Does each of those switch legs have to have a...

Ok cool. Thanks a lot for the help. I did notice the homeline brand at Lowes.

What is a QO brand? Is GE/Seimens ect no good? Or is it just consumer grade junk? :) I'm sure it's best to go with the same brand breakers as the panel?

It's a 200 amp panel that was updraged fro 150 amp service about a year ago. It's a GE PowerMark Gold Panel. What ever that means.

If someone could help me out I have a few more questions. I trenched 85 feet of 2-2-2-4 and finished up running my cat5 and RG6 today. I went to get a panel from Lowes and kind of got confused. I asked a guy what he recommends and he did not give me any good suggestions. He mentioned...

So the 100 amp main breaker in the garage is basically just serving as a disconnect while the 90 amp in the house is being matched to the conductor that is feeding the garage?

So i should have a 90 amp beaker in the house panel and then another 90 amp main breaker for the secondary panel in the garage?

Thanks a lot for the response. The run is right at 100 feet. Both panels are in exterior walls. Do you have any suggestions on what type of panel to get for the garage?

When you say 75 or 90 amp breaker, do you mean the main breaker? I would be ok with 90 amp. Would 2-2-2-4 be a good choice ran in conduit inside and out?

Mobile home feeder wire. I know I need something along the lines of 2-2-2-6. But I'm not 100 percent sure.

I have no idea what I am doing and may pay an electrician to do the job. I would like to learn how to do this the right way. I know the very basics of electric. Wether I do the job or not, if i can learn anything then it will be worth the little effort I put forth. I want to run mhf 100 feet...
