Still in the brainstorming stages for the electrical work on my garage. First have to get the upstairs work done (paint, floors, and trim) so we can stop living on the 1st floor only. We've been sleeping in the dining room for the last 3 months 
...long story. Anyways it's an attached 20' L x 24' D x 9' H 2 car. Has the typical 1 outlet in the ceiling for the opener, 1 light fixture near that, and 1 GFCI on the wall that you see in new construction.
Right now my plan is to add a box extender to the single light fixture and run EMT out to 4-6 LED light fixtures. That should meet most of my lighting requirements I'd imagine. Currently thinking I'll do an H configuration down the length of the garage unless someone has a better suggestion.
I'm going to need to put in a sub panel, more than likely to the right of the main panel, as I only have 3 slots left in my main panel. As of now I need 1 dedicated 15A circuit for my upright freezer, 2x 120V circuits down each long wall, and I want to have future expand-ability to have dedicated 240V circuits for a welder, compressor, tablesaw, and/or dust collector.
I'm debating between a surface mount panel vs an in wall panel. I'm planning on running all the circuits with 3/4" EMT to allow for easy modification/expand-ability.
The odd plumbing stuff going on there is the solar heater the previous owner installed in case you're wondering.
