I wouldn't run 2 1000s on a 20 amp maybe a 1k and a 600
but that won't cover the area I'm trying to do! I think if I watch heisen video a few times and study this for a few weeks I should be able to wire up my own dedicated 110 or 220 it's only about 7 ft away from the box!

Man it really is super easy , I could walk you through it over the phone if you had trouble. I agree with Heisen I would just use a spade bit and run it through. Then puddy em back up or pull off some trim and drill behind it.

I dont trust anyone.Helps me sleep at night.If it really came down to it dude could get rid of everything for a day and have someone come over and wire up a 220 spot for an air conditioner.Just tell them its for a big window unit that has built in heat.you can put more shit on 220 cause the amps drop in half.a ballast that runs on 8 amps in 110 will run 4 amps on 220.they still pull the same wattage but you can get more shit on that circuit.
Wiring up extra breakers is super easy
Can't be too careful, that's for sure.
Marijuana has made me the DIY guy I am today.

Running 220 volt is cheaper as well.
I can run 2000 watts of 220v through the cheaper 12 gauge wire vs running 10 gauge for the 110.

I run 2000 watts off a power 3-way, on a cheap 220v hydro digi timer.
I'd never run 2000 watts of 110 from a cheap timer.

I honestly might just do that to be safe, my original plan was just to duck tape it along the ceiling but I'm worried it might just cause problems, I'm best off doing it right the first time!

Lower the gauge thicker the wire

Just make sure to never touch two wires at the same time. I used to watch my uncle's wiring up light fixtures and stuff and be touching hot wires and im like how you doing that without getting electrocuted. As long as your on wood floors , have rubber soles you can touch a live wire, just dont touch the other live wire ,or ground, or neutral. You'd be like a bird on a powerline. But don't go touching live wires, period!
