I have a confession to make: I owned an older Portland home for many years before I felt confident to park in the garage. The small detached garage, facing a narrow alley, seemed like it might be tricky to maneuver a car inside. Years went by, and I used the garage mainly for storing outdoor furniture and garden supplies. It was only when I purchased an electric vehicle that getting the car inside became important to me. Why? EV Charging of course!
My second challenge: the garage had no electricity, and was 30 feet from the house.
For a moment I was unsure of how to begin. However! Having navigated dozens of inspection/repair contingencies, pre-listing home preparations, and unexpected challenges, I knew that the goal of charging my car at home was likely easily achievable.
The Preparation
First, I called an electrician. (If you ever need a referral for a contractor, painter, plumber, roofer, electrician, window person, etc- ask your realtor! We will have suggestions for you.) My licensed and bonded electrician gave me a bid, and explained how the project would work, and to get started, asked me if I knew someone who could dig a trench: of course I did!
Whenever a project requires digging, call before you dig! The utility companies will come out and mark any utility lines on your property. This is a critical step, to prevent digging into a gas, electric, sewer, or water line. Call 811, or 1-800-332-2344 a minimum of two days before starting any digging project. In my case, this are area was free of utility lines.
The Trench
To dig the trench, I hired a trusted landscaper and his team. Although I considered doing it myself, or renting a trench digging machine, letting professionals do it proved to be fast, reasonable, and efficient. It took just a few hours for a few people to dig through the rocky soil by hand, with picks and shovels.
The plan is hatched.
It’s amazing how quickly this trench was finished.
and here it is… ready for a new electric line.
Finally, the Electricity
Once the trench was in place, the electrician returned to install a conduit and the electrical lines. He installed a subpanel in the garage, along with a light (let there be light, for the first time, in my garage: it’s fun to appreciate small things!) and a couple of outlets, including one 240 volt outlet placed to accommodate an EV Charger. I mounted a new EV charger on the wall of the garage, plugged it in, and was all set! It felt like a transformation to be able to not only turn on a light, but also charge my car in the garage.
*in case you notice that the roof of the garage looks rough in the photos, that was the next project!

I have a group of friends, in fact the majority of my friends, and some of their friends too, who all seek out the DREAM GARAGE. Many often state, “I just need a little house and a BIG GARAGE.” Whether its to house barn-finds, restore furniture, fire pots, do art, or tinker on toys, everybody needs space, especially in these times. In this case Paul was no different. But what’s more, this home is on a huge, flat, right angled lot with a pre-existing 2nd driveway apron, and so much room to build the Garage Mahal! Need I even talk about the house? It’s great too, with a cozy front porch, open plan modern kitchen, bright living room, and a huge basement and a door to the beloved…GARAGE. You get my point here.
Congrats to Paul on his new Garage, with Attached House.
