    Yup, better to go bigger if the box and wiring will handle it. Just like a safe, you will always be able to use more capacity

    Damn straight. All 110 circuits in my shop are 30 amp. Can't run a 3hp router and a circular saw at same time.

    You know what's super easy to bend? 100' of extension cord.

    I agree but its sloppy and non permanent. Looking for something to do in an afternoon and for it to look nice. I'll spend the $100, lol.

    Remember, when you run the rope (Rolex) to drill holes in the studs and thread it through, don't try stapling it to the stud faces. Also staple it to the I side of the studs within 3ft of the outlet boxes.

    If you have access to the area above the ceiling, you can run MC up in there and fish it down the walls where you want the outlets. Unless of course there is a room above the garage.

    I know that was just a joke. I have the stuff to run romex to an outdoors outlet at my place, I just haven't done it yet.
