Anyone install an subpanel in their workshop?
I have 1 15 amp circuit that powers the entire garage. Yes. I have tripped the circuit. Too many times in fact. It will cost me $800 to $1200 to get someone to run a line for the subpanel and a couple of circuits. OR I could do it myself. It looks like a fairly straight shot to the garage without digging up anything or destroying multiple walls.
Is it doable? Is it reasonable to think a "Handy" man can do it?

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the quick replies
To answer some earlier questions....
I have a 125 Amp panel with 6 slots available.
The biggest thing I have at the moment is my table saw. While it's running at 110 now, I want to switch to 220. I need to be able to run my dust control unit at the same time. Then I have the normal assortment of power tools.
The run to the garage is about 25 feet.
I don't necessarily think I absolutely need a subpanel. Just trying to think ahead.
Any and all advice is welcome.
