We've been cleared to convert our garage to a bedroom with 1/2 bath (possibly a full bath). With electrical, I'm guessing I will have to have someone licensed do the work, but what can I do to keep the costs as low as possible. I have added circuits before, but doing an entire room with bathroom seems overwhelming. My building inspector said I need to tell my electrician to sue NEC 2008 and tie in the smoke detector to the existing ones (which are only battery operated), so I'm not sure how that will work. Suggestions?
(The garage does have a subpanel, but uses fuses not breakers)
