I'm not either lol...

I called a couple electricians in the area but nobody was interested in such a small job, so I YouTube'd it and learned how.

I have 10 gauge wire going from the panel's 30A breaker to this outlet. So I used 10ga. wire from the load terminals on the first GFCI outlet to the new, non-GFCI outlet that I added.

Yeah the outlet only handles 20A and the breaker is 30A.

Yeah, a 30 amp breaker would require 30 amp outlets ( which typically have a different plug setup and wouldn't allow you to plug in). You probably should put a 20 amp breaker on it (or at least do so before leaving the property). Also, you can (and should) wire the non-GFIC outlet downstream from the GFIC outlet. This will serve to make this GFIC, which is code for a garage.

That's awesome! I would love a setup like that. Do you have any issue with the foam cannon and the lower power pressure washer? I've been wanting to get that little pressure washer but I've heard it can't power a foam cannon well. Any input would be appreciated.

Cant you use just the vac n blo instead of having two machines?

Awesome set up! I've been milling over as to how I can safely store my AR pressure washer off the floor! I gotta say though, bringing a free flowing water source that close to your main panel makes me a little nervous.

I'm totally getting this ASAP. Thanks for sharing!

You're looking at this backwards. The breaker rating is matched to the wire size, not the outlet. He's got 10 ga wire which is cool for 30 amps. (The main purpose of the breaker is to protect the wiring)

Although the Vac n Blo is marketed as both a vacuum and a blower, I find that the output of its air leaves much to be desired compared to a dedicated blower. I compare its output to that of a warm hair dryer.

The master blaster is the way to go if you have the money to dedicate to it, otherwise a Blaster Sidekick is also very handy and will also be much more powerful than the Vac N Blo.
