Folks,
I have started the "rebuild" of my detached 1 car garage. It's a 10X20 space. So far I just have it down to the main studs, gotta get rid of some mice before I continue but I am wondering what size panel I will need for the garage.

My Plans are 1 220v plug and approx. 9 outlets, 3 on each side wall and 3 on the back wall. Probably 2 8 ft flourescent lights and MAYBE a ceiling fan. For a garage that small that should be plenty. I am also considering a small exhaust fan for any painting projects or when I sand, what CFM would be good for such a small space and what type of breaker panel should I be looking at for the garage itself?

Something like this is all you need. It's about $50 @ HomeDepot.

You can get by with the one below but you can't have more than 6 circuits without having a main breaker disconnect in a detached building. It's about $20 but doesn't come with any breakers.
