Default In need of an Electrician or Welder

As the title states. I need a 220v outlet in my garage to run an arc welder. I need to have it installed towards the front of my garage so I can get my trailer finished.

If you don't know an electricain maybe someone who has a self contained welder that is willing to come to Summerville to weld some plate for the runners.

I'm needing this so I can get the rest of the trailer finished and usable. As it sits right now it's beginning to rust away.

any help is appreciated

I do electrical on the side. But, I am not a Licensed Electrician. If you would like any references, just ask Darryl. Wired his whole garage.
Having said that I am headed to Zmax for the weekend and will not be available until wed. of next week. If your not in a hurry, I would be happy to help you out.

The hardest part would be getting the 4X8 sheets of 1/4" plate on a truck to transport it. the trailer is mobile.

wiring 220 is so easy, white and black are both hot. get a 50amp breaker. buy the receptical you need for the welder.
