Not sure if I will do that underground or through the garage and a short trench tot he house, or over head. Need to talk to a sparky for that part of it.

And ya, gas for sure. It's a short jump from the meter to the garage. I'll also run some conduit form the house for ethernet and whatever future needs.
Yeah, I moved my meter to the garage, then ran the main power for the house through to the end of the garage. I only had to dig a trench 10' long to my house, so it wasn't that big of a deal as my house and garage are very close. I did have to upgrade my house panel since my panel was from 1969 and tapped out for power. Nice not having power lines run over my yard anymore.
