I haven't forgot about you... how much space is available in the box? how big is the box? why don't you take a pic... Wiring a couple circuits isn't that hard.

what would I do with that space? As much as I could.. Thats a lot of
space you could do alot..
Im no sparky... Rives is your friend (member) when it comes
to electricity... Box looks a little old to me but may be doable...
First thing research basic electricity installation. Its not that hard.
It doesnt get hard until it becomes commercial.. lol...
Read a book, research on internet...
Next we need to see close ups on whats inside that box... ( please no comedians)..
If its in good shape , adding a couple of circuits is no big deal...
Also you said it was/may be 150 amp main?? You need to know
for sure what amperage you have coming in before even trying
to work with it... Also make sure box is properly grounded...
Once you get this info. the forum can help you out a lot more...
If you need advice, pictures are your friend...
Right now there is so many unknowns ... find out the above info
and repost..
We are here to help bro as we can....
Good luck!!

You have room in the box to add a couple circuits. You don't need a sub unless you're really gonna do it up, which it doesn't sound like you are. I have some wire you can have, circuit breakers are like $6. Its not hard to add a circuit. Watch a youtube video or 2 and do it.

Get a basic wiring book at Lowes, and read it, then try to determine how many unused breakers are available. If they are turned off, they are not in use. Then see if you can get Rives or some other sparky in on it. Just know what you are doing before you do anything. Figure 12 amps of 110 per 1k light [on different breakers], + ac [dedicated breaker], dehum, veg lights, asst. fans, heater, overhead room lighting, etc. Use 20 amp outlets on 15 amp circuits. Do not exceed 12 amps of draw on a 15 amp breaker. Never push any limits. Remember that most electrocutions and charring burns happen without touching anything. Electricity will arc to a grounded object [you]. Good luck. -granger

It says 200amps.....then the dryer washer say 30.....every other is 15 except for the garage it says 20.....so if the washer is 30 I could pull my 12 off it for the 1000 watt while the washer is running and still be all good?.....I don't have a Lowe's here only a homedepot....No car no job/seizures....but hey I would be a priest who could talk to ghosts and spirits if I was born in Mongolia.....got to turn every negative into a positive.....
Lol... thanks again for your help dude. We'll get that electric squared away soon. The house already smells better! Not much but it's not so humid anymore. Got the two large mounds of dirt off the ground.
