After Curly helped me figure out wiring I am about ready to tackle my next wiring adventure. When we moved into the house the wife bought a used hot tub which runs on either 110 or 220. There is a large 220 outlet in the garage that is labeled welder in the breaker box and is on a 40 amp fuse

I like that idea. Here is my other problem. In 1 of the rooms there is not wiring to the ceiling They have track light installed which simply plugs into a wall outlet that is controlled by the wall switch. Would eventually like to run wire to ceiling to install fan/lighting the proper way.

+1 Get the fans with remote controls to turn them on/off/speeds/lights and you can just use one regular power feed. I put in some, they work well, and you can either have a handheld remote or one that goes in a wall box that sends the signal to the fan over the power wire. Look on build.com

Yes, I have figured that out, which right now there is not. I am figuring on putting the sub panel inside the garage, which would be just inside the back door from the tub. Its either that or locate it outside on the other end of the porch. You would think this electrician would know that.
