[QUOTE="sleek98, post: 16091353, member: 144145"] Forgot to answer a couple of your other questions. Build what you can afford and live with. Some guys dont care if they are looking at a metal building because they are cheaper. But they can end up more expensive if your planning on finishing the insides. Either metal or stick built can have issues with humidity if you are in a humid part of the southeast. Running a decent humidifier can solve that problem if you end up with one. I did not have an issue before I added the mini split. You will need to move a 2 of the breakers to a new sub panel and then run a line from the subpanel to the garage. Depending on how far your going and the amp you want at the detached will determine the size of wire. If your insurance company already comes with a detached amount it might not go up much. My policy came with 20% of the value of the house for detached buildings, that covered the detached building. I had to add a little when I put solar panels to cover them, via adding additional cost to rebuild the house. I think it was 50 a year to add 30k in coverage. If you dont have the next 3 days of your life check out garagejournal.com I have bounced ideas off those guys in my build thread and they have helped a ton. [/QUOTE]
