Getting power

We have pretty much decided that I will wiring the shop on my own.  We will have an electrician install the new box and put in a circuit for the garage door opener.  Beyond that it's up to me.  I bought a book to help me get through the electrical code so I can get it right.

The electric company will be out, hopefully next week, to decide whether the power will be delivered overhead or underground.  I would like underground but expect it will be too expensive to be an option.  Overhead is just ugly.  The shop will have 200A service and it's own meter.  Once we know how the power will be delivered my electricians will come in an setup the box.  That may be all that gets done right now depending on how much it costs to get that far.

It's a slow and expensive phase that is driving me nuts.  I just want to get out there and get it done.
