We're moving here in the next several weeks and the new workshop will be a finished, attached three car garage. The house is new and already finished so all of my electrical modifications will be after the fact. For reference, the house is full two stories so I don't have attic access above the garage to run wiring.
On the 220 outlets, what are your recommendations to add 220 outlets around the perimeter of the finished garage? I'm trying to do this cleanly without tearing into the sheet rock so I've considered installing wall mounted boxes and running EMT back to the panel. However, how will I run the wiring into the panel if I'm coming from the inside of the walls?
Similar on the outlets, there are only two, four foot strip lights in the garage now so I want to add a number of additional four foot, T-8 fixtures. I believe the light fixtures are on two different circuits so my plan was to just jump off of those for the new lighting, splitting it as evenly as possible based on location to the existing fixtures. Here again, what's the simplest way to use tap off of the existing inside the ceiling for the new fixtures? Or, should I just run new wiring and circuits for the new fixtures?
Thanks,
Brett
