Well, this year's trip is Canada/Alaska...next year's is Nova Scotia & all of US between here & there...we're gonna visit Kim & will need 30amp service for our Airstream motorhome.....so, Gary: reserve enough for it & whatever RV you buy...
...oh, Chevy 454 is better than Ford 460!
 
Not a chance Tony!! I don't know if you have ever had either apart, but I've had them both!! A 454 is like a glorified 350, and a 460 is like a light diesel!! If a 454 has to work, they don't last!! A good friend of mine has a work boat with a 454, it never lasted 100 hours!! I will agree that a 454 produces more horsepower and breathes better, and will last a long time in a car, but not in a 12,000 lb vehicle!! Just my humble opinion!

Geez, you guys, I wasn't even gonna check the end of this thread because it was getting so long, but here you are building my garage for me, and you've got it almost done!

The house is a modular-built all-electric, and we definitely want to tie into it. Converting to a gas stove is definitely an option that I know Chas. would love. (But would add to the expense of the overall project, of course.) We've got 5 empty circuit breaker slots left on a 120A subpanel, but we filled up the 200A main panel when we finished a room upstairs. (The electric baseboard heat takes up a lot)

Don't know what that means in term of remaining capacity without going to look in a book, but we definitely need juice for the compressor. Don't have a welder yet, but Chas. has every other tool known to man and Craftsman.

By the way, I do the wiring on our home improvement projects. I'm a rank amateur compared to you guys, but nothing's burned down yet. OK, so I almost electrocuted Chas. once when I didn't turn off the right circuit breaker (a double-switch job), but it could happen to anyone

Anyway, guess we'd better get going getting this project designed if you guys are really going to come help with it. Hmmm, MG2004 will be in this neck of the woods . . . Maybe we could time it for then? But that'll be in the summer, and Gary's trip will be in the fall, so maybe we'd better stick with that plan, if a plan it really is...
 
And here I thought you were ignoring us!!

A 200 amp service is good!! I would be really suprised if ther wasn't room!! Yu, we gotta' build you a garage!!
cheers.gif
 
the main thing with the service is you gotta remember not everything is gonna be running at the same time. Code here let's you run 40% over the service size. I ran a 70 amp sub panel out to my garage, which is plenty
 
we have the longest thread ever?

Naw...what happens is that you are now on page three...

It only shows as two pages for me BTW Kim Gary and Chuck I can swing a hammer and pull wire this sounds like it could be an old fashioned garage raising done many times in the great state of PA by the amish who are some of the best and pickest builders I have known

all we gotta see is when we can all get together and if Kim will put up with us all. about 10 more posts to page three (I think)
