I've decided to finish out my basement and don't quite know how to do some (what might be very simple) wiring. I left my wiring book at the other house and am stumped. The light fixtures in the basement have pull chains. I'd like to change out the fixture, and add a switch to the light in one of the rooms. I've found all sorts of references for runs of lights, but not for just one single light. Question: How do you wire a single pole switch to operate one light fixture where the feed comes into the light and the switch is at the end of the run? Is this correct? connect Feed white to fixture white. Connect Feed black to "out to switch" black. Connect fixture black to "out to switch" white that has been marked with black tape. At the switch, mark the white wire with black tape and attach. Thanks for any help here!

Greetings! I am in the process of converting my garage to a workshop. Unfortunately, I have only outlet. Actually two, but the one on the ceiling for the opener doesn't really count. :) I also have incandescent light. I have an existing 200amp box with 4 full slots left. It is located in the basement and my garage is attached and I would say my Main is about 20 ft. away from the garage. So the runs would be fairly easy from a subpanel. I am fairly new to running wiring, but I believe competent. My needs will be a dedicated circuit for a lightweight table saw router, sander and some assorted power tools. I really don't have any plans or the need for a 220 circuit(s). I am looking for recommendations on size of subpanel I should use? What type of wire to run from main to sub? What size breaker for would I use for the main to jumper to the sub? Would 12/2 romex be sufficient for about 6~8 outlets? thanks in advance!!
