June 8, 2014 Garage electrical completed today

Today I finished wiring the garage. It's a 100 amp service with 7 circuits. I installed a 220 outlet below the panel in case I ever need to use a welder. There are 12 outlets on two different circuits mounted just below the sill logs on three sides of the garage.




I installed six florescent light fixtures in the ceiling, and 8 outlets around the perimeter of the loft.


I wired in outlets in the ceiling of the main floor, One side of each outlet powers the garage door lights, the other half are controlled by the switch that turns on the two lights just outside the small walk-in door. I will install two 8 ft hanging florescent lights and plug them into these outlets.



I also installed motion detector lights on the front of the garage. I only had one problem when I hit the seven breakers in the panel. One call to New Hampshire talking to Jerry Duprey, and the problem was solved. Now I have to get busy on the stairways and the chimney in the house.
