I would like to wire my two-car garage into a workshop. It has 200amp service (of it's own) fed from the house. I intend 3-4 220v outlets in addition to approx. twelve 4-gang, 110v outlets around the walls plus (flour.) ceiling lighting. Due to upbringing, I have had NO education in these matters and all the self-righteous proclamations of "...well you should have...!" I typically receive DO NOT help! A source(s) of information or instruction DOING IT, not lecturing/blackboard, please! Most of the tech.-stuff I do know came from books/trial and error. Owing to 12-16 hour days now this is no longer an option. Neither is hiring it done. Is there a way of learning HOW to do this MYSELF without trade-school (that I can afford neither the time or money) or getting a job as a helper, which, given my lacking of any backround, AIN'T gonna happen!? I am NOT REMOTELY interested in theory, etc.! All I want to know is HOW, in LAYMAN'S TERMS, to do THIS PROJECT; STEP - BY - STEP! THAT'S ALL!!! I find it hard to swallow that I MUST wade through all the other crap too!? Any Ideas?

Email me at mbrohaugh@yahoo.com I will guide you through this step by step. I will need to know the size of the garage, ??' by ??', # of empty spaces in the service pannel,what type of tools that will be run in your shop. I want you to email me because this sounds like a fairly sizeable project and I don't want to explane everything here and have it all backfire when you go to do it. Again, mbrohaugh@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to help.
