Well, at least you can get something done. Probably haven't had any time to play with your shop, have you?

Well, you'll have time eventually. I need to get one of the guys from here out to the house, to see about getting an aux. service box installed, so I can get power to the garage.

Yep. There are 2 outlets, but neither one is where I need it, and if you plug something into them, the lights in the garage flicker. So, I want a seperate box for the garge, for 110 and 220 power. When I get the building up, I'll reroute that power to the building. Won't need it in the garage anymore.

Now that would scare the hell out of me! When you get your elect guy over, have him open up those receptacles and check them out. Sounds like a loose connection or the circuit is tied into another and not it's own. Something is NOT right...

Check to see if it's a old zinsco breaker box, they are pieces of crap and have lousy buss bars, mine is going away as soon as I can afford it.
It's the ONLY thing that got cheaped out on this house, and it needs to go.
