Yall are weirder than I originally percieved [sic].
Got the fascia boards up, primed, and painted ahead of a roofer coming this week. They are also doing the gutters and downspouts at the same time, so it's best to paint fascia while still accessible. Also finished ALL the sheathing nailing finally, and about half of the housewrap. I should still be able to frame and attach the soffits with the roof on.
I am leaning towards pay the electrical man the minimum to pass inspections, get my final inspection done sooner, then take some time off this project. I am pretty tired and my cars are crying for attention. I can always pull another permit to insulate and add more circuits. I am WAY too familiar with that process now.
Curiosity got the best of me when you said you'd have to move your existing meter base. Is this based on the state, county or city requirements? Nothing in our code that say's that. Now the state, county or city might require that but not sure why. I've replaced a few 100amp to 200amp meter bases and panels and haven't ever had to move them. Only time a panel ever moved is they were making the spot it was in into a bathroom. That means it couldn't be where it was by code.
Multiple locations on the same circuit for the welder is what I'm doing as well. I have a 6 gauge cord 40' long that gets me anywhere I need to go. I find that my machine still works better with no extension cord at all.
I have enough plugmold to circle my entire garage but don't need to. So the quad outlet setup mentioned is a good idea as well. Keep the lighting and outlets separate.
That's the one thing that 02 electricians do that I can't stand. Just being cheap as eff even when you don't need to be.
I'd run surface mount unless you like drilling a berkeley ton of holes in that building of yours. That and nailplates.

I think the meter has to move because the A/C unit is right in front of it, but not totally sure. I want siding up on at least that corner before electrical can start punching holes for conduit.
Might actually be cheaper to move the A/C compressor. Also how did it get passed in the first place? Inspector should have caught that right off the bat.
Too bad you're halfway across the country. I love helping do these little projects. I can always find something to trade services for these little ones.
Be careful with adding a building as they sometimes spawn another building......
Been waiting on this for going on 5 months, my shop on the right is full and no room to store finished cars, client cars or projects. Wife does not like parking out in the driveway all winter so got the green light for a storage garage to replace my HF tent, old wooden shed and move the TR3 and Scorpion out of the garage in the house to keep the wife happy. They got about this far before it started snowing, so they will be back later this week to finish it.
I hear you on getting the basics done for the electricity now so it is over. Once it is done right, you can always add circuits as needed, the hard part is getting the sub panel done so you can expand in the future. Shop looks great, I am sure you are ready to get that roof on this week and out of the weather!
This is the week of paying the pros. Yesterday got a roof! They're coming back soon for gutters and downspouts. Should have electrical rough and garage door by next weekend.
It's suddenly very dark in there! I can take my time with door, window, siding and soffits now. And move all the construction crap out of the other garage.
The other garage. Haha. I like saying that 
Awesome! Going to be able to start working in it soon.
Getting lights on in there will be a game changer
Got a 10-pack of those 8ft Barrina LED strips. This is 2 of 10. I am running 3 rows of 3. Also got the door and window installed, and enough siding in that corner for the electrician to install the feeder and subpanel, which is happening right now.
I have the power! 100A sub panel, professionally installed.
Looking great!
It's coming along quick and looking good!

It may be the perspective, but what is the grade away from that downspout? It looks like it grade up before it drops to the street. Could you possibly retain water between the house and shop if it flows towards the camera in this shot?

Sweet, power!!!
In reply to hobiercr :
Must be perspective. It's sloped for that downspout to go all the way to the street without flowing into either garage, and seems to work well.
Garage door company brought the wrong parts today, so that will be rescheduled another time. Hopefully I can knock out electrical and framing rough inspections early next week. My last inspection was after the slab pour.
Happy for you. It will make a big difference in your work.
Electrical passed. Framing inspection later this week. Then all that's left is building final? Being dried-in and wired has greatly reduced my stress level lately. I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. That tunnel has 12ft ceilings and a gorillion lumens shining down from it.
Looking great, always a good day when you pull a car into a new shop!
It's crazy how a slab makes it look so large when getting started, then quickly starts to look tiny with even a Camry parked in there. I built a 24x24 years ago and had that same thought. HUGE and then seemingly small.
Congrats on the progress.
Dude, it's almost been a year since I busted my ribs on your car . . .
