I recently had an electrician come out and do some measuring for installing a 60 amp subpanel outside on the back of house. Our main panel is on the side of house in the garage. They plan to install a 60 amp breaker in main, run 4 wires from panel and come out the back of the panel, through the wall and to the outside of house behind panel, then run along the side of house to the back of it and land into a 60 amp subpanel. They will install a GFCI outlet beside the panel until we get our deck installed. Total feet from panel to subpanel is approximately 25 feet. I am supplying the subpanel which is simply a boxed subpanel with main breaker inside, everything else (conduit, wire, labor, receptacle, etc) they are supplying. They quoted me $625. Does this seem fair? Ive only had one electrician out here 5 years ago and that was to fish a romex (Already run 80% of the way) up a wall 5 foot and connect to a breaker... paid $180.

I was cutting several slabs of stone for my fireplace using an exterior outlet to power my saw. About 2/3 the way through the cutting, the power ceased. There was no short and blackening of the outlet. I checked my breaker, it was not tripped for this circuit. Still I flipped it off and on for good measure. All other outlets (4 total) associated with this circuit I came to find are not working anymore. Do I just need to replace the outlet that I was originally plugged into when I had initial issue(are circuits usually wired in series?)? Could the breaker have gone bad, do I need to replace the circuit breaker? Thank you for your time. -Matt
