      Yeah, total right at around $1,200.00

      All things considered, I really can't complain. Biggest expense was wire. I bought the material, and got through coupons and price matches things like the 40 circuit 200 amp main panel for $129.00 with most of the breakers included.
      that's a real bargain. in my area, electricians get $1000 to $1500 (p&l) for a main panel upgrade from 100A to 200A (which i assume is what you got). a new sub-panel (looks like a 60A sub from the size of the black wire feeding it as shown in the last photo) and 5 home runs would just add to that, probably another $500 -$1000. the NY tri-state area is a nice place to live but it can be pricey.
      there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it.

        Looks great! You may want to consider installing nail plates on the studs where the romex goes through. It's done correctly but in a shop it's just a little extra safety.

          It passes inspection without the nail plates, but absolutely I am adding nail plates...
