## Minimum Wire Size for Small Garage Buildings

Relevant to [[electrical-takeoff]] and [[fixtures-takeoff]]:

[[hilltop-gardens]] has 3 separate garage buildings,
each with 12 isolated bays.
The buildings are about 70ft long,
with all runs less than 100ft.

I asked [[joel-jansen|Joel]] if it would be necessary
to use minimum 10 AWG
as is [[conest|ConEst]] standard for [[pdi-breakdowns#Bid Item Garage|Garage]].
He said it would not be,
and confirmed 12 AWG is acceptable in this case.
