porschy- There are no special requirements. Your box already has two 110 circuit bus bars going in which add up to 220 when using the right breaker. All you need to do is purchase a double pole breaker and put it in the box. If there is not a place large enough to fit the breaker then you can simply pull a single pole breaker out and put it in a different slot to make room. Then you just run the proper size wire and poke a hole in the wall for the outlet and hook the wire up at both ends without killing yourself. The tricky part will be when you try to run the wire into the box itself as there is usually very little room to crawl if the box is on an outside wall. As for the plug, just get a sheetrock saw and cut your hole for the plug. Then you will need to make an accurate measurement so that when you go into the attic you can drill a hole in the proper place in the 2 x 4 above where you cut the hole. Then poke the wire down and have someone below fish it out using a coat hanger. One more thing I'd like to add: Do not...I repeat...DO NOT lick any of the metal surfaces inside the breaker panel. It could be a source of discomfort. Hope this helps. Best regards, Elder.

PS- Give me a call if you have any questions. I believe you have my number.
