Well, we were one step closer.... Electric co-op informed me today they are having supply issues with transformers, and apparently the box I need to have power pulled from needs an upgraded transformer.
So now it appears I am at least 2 months out to get power.

Looks great! I’m still trying to add to my garage to increase my shop space. 12x12 is cramped.Leave a comment:

My little shop is 12 x 20 and I have at present three circuits in there from my garage panel which is adjacent to the shed. When we bought this house we had the old service upgraded from a 100 amp fused panel to a 200 amp circuit breaker and a few years later we took out the overhead wiring to the detached garage and had a 100 amp CB panel installed there and fed underground from the house. When I had the shed put in for the shop I located it immediately to the right side of the garage and I wired it to the garage panel.
Since I'm the only one working there, about the only two things running simultaneously are the shop vac and one tool at a time. I have my overhead lights (all LEDs) on one 15-amp circuit and two separate 20 amp circuits for power tools (one circuit along each of the two 20-ft walls (table saw, drill press, RAS, and router table on one circuit and on the other wall where the benches are, outlets for handheld tools and my small band saw. The fourth 20 amp circuit is for the future, perhaps the 3D printer if it ever arrives. I also keep a couple of smaller lights in the tool circuits.
The idea is that you want your main lights separate from your tool circuits. You don't want a tool to trip a breaker and find yourself in the dark.
