Hi All and thanks for reading.
I am moving a 56X26 Stick built house to my property in Northern Michigan.
The house came off a Basement/Crawl. I am Going to be putting it on a PWF (Permanent Wood Foundation) I am in group 1 for soil meaning excellent drainage. I have applied for the Building Permit and have the basic plan.
I am doing 4 foot walls out of 2x6 treated 16 on center this will be set on a 2x8 PT on top of my 8x16 Footing of Pea gravel. The house has a 2x8 Sill plate that I will be attaching to the foundation. From there plumbing Electrical, remodeling, A new roof, and heating.
My first question is with the electrical even though that is a ways off I need to start planning it as right now my Circuit breaker box is under the house, where it was in the basement at the old location. So now I need to move it up to what was a fourth bedroom that I am putting my Water heater Elect box and an office. The Furnace will be put in the space where the Stair case was.
So my question is can I put a big Junction box in the crawl screwed up to the floor joist under the house? I will be putting the box in a new wall in the utility/office room so that it is easy to work with and I can get to it front and back.
I will be having a friend electrician doing the work when it comes to it but this is early in my planning.
Any tips or advise on the whole project will be appreciated.
Thanks Kevin
