Tom, you said the panel agrees it is only for feeders carrying 100% of the dwellings diversified loads. So what about a circuit to the garage? If you have a detached garage (with electric) the table won't apply?

I was thinking when you said shop, that maybe you meant a business of some sort. Of course if you are making kitchen cabinets in your garage and selling them, it is a business, right? Of course if you give the cabinets away then it's just a hobby.

I'll have to make sure our zoning officer checks the wiring before approving home based businesses.
