So, I just moved into a single story house and I want to run a 220v, 30a circuit to my garage for a heater and welder (one at a time).
The garage is attached, but there is a breezeway between the garage and house (with no basement under it).
Here's what the wiring looks like.

Main feed from outside feeds a 100a box.

Which feeds a 60a sub panel, through the basement.

Some wires run up, into the floor, through the attic, and down to a few different places in the garage. There's this box thing...

One corner of the garage (Designated G1 in the first picture) used to have a bathroom installed. They ripped the wall out and just left the outlet dangling.

And the back wall of the garage has a few outlets. (G2)

Now, for the fun part.
I bought 25 feet of 10-4 armored cable, a 30a 220v breaker, and a 30a 220v outlet and box. I just got out of the attic and it's a fucking mess up there. After that, I'd much rather try to use some of the existing wiring, rather than try to pull wire vertically through the whole house. That would really not be fun.
So, what do you think? What information do you need to walk me through this? What's my best option from here?
