Just a suggestion but you might consider sheets of osb all the way around at ground level. I can here you now if you rip it somehow.
I’ve thought about it, but not sure it would be worth the expense of doing the whole thing. Maybe part of it. But at 4’ height, I’m not clear on what purpose it would serve.

Here it is, about to be summer, and not much has happened with the garage for a while.

Time to call Miss Utility again. I scheduled them to come out to locate my existing power line, so that I can dig the trench to the garage, but they never showed up. Anyway, the trench is the next major item on the list, as the garage apron can't be put down before that happens.

In the meantime, no progress on the electrical plan, other than having decided to go with EMT instead of PVC.

I need a clone!

If you need assistance, I'd be glad to help. Although I am not a electrician, I have taken classes at my high school for three years and taken an internship last summer. I've sized panels and conductors, have experience with single phase and three phase, worked with MC and romex, bent conduit and am familiar with Code.
If you have a list of what you want installed ( appliances, receptacles, etc ) I could possibly write up a panel schedule (I can include code reference numbers as well if you would like to fact check).

That is very generous of you! I'll get together my list in the next few days and send it to you via PM.
