Okay, first pic is through a structure that already existst, it will come down! The shop I want will be 18ftX25ft. In that picture the fence pole with the rectangular sign, about 1 ft left the shop will start and continue 25 ft to about 2ft past the gate in the second picture. Then 18 ft deep. It will have one roll up door for car entry and will be located next to the gate in the second picture, and also have regular door entering from the backyard. I have access to power along the side where the roll up door. Install a 140-150 amp breaker in the house’s main, run a 4 ga 240 line from the new breaker along back down power in from the main powerline right down to a centrally located sub panel in the shop and have 2-3 110 circuits and 1- 50 amp 240 circuit for welders! What do you guys think?
 
When I did my shop I run a 100 amp sub panel but at the garage I added 2 ground rods and grounded to the water line coming in like you would do for the main panel in the house an extra ground cant hurt
 
Better make sure of the city requirements for buildings to property line distance is OK. Sounds
like you might building really close to your property line.
 
78583E7E-6755-4EC6-9A19-734744973FA8.jpeg Have been refiguring and planning the new shop! Using the existing shop, just add 21X21 and have 661 sq ft of shop space!
 
I revamped my plans because I would only have 450 sq ft of shop space, using the existing structure, I can increase it to 661 sq ft with what I believe would be about the same cost, hence square footage costing less. 450 sq ft cost is about 8 k, 661 is about 7.5 k. 450 would be about $17.78/foot, and 661 about $11.35/foot. To me it’s a no brainer to build 661.
