Ian,
I don't know what the others will say, but you might want to have run more
power to the garage. When we did my dads house, I think we ran either 100
or 200 amp service out to the garage.
Power is like computer memory - there is never enough.
But if you stay with the 60 A, what you've laid out sound good to me.
We also have a generator in the detatched garage. We back feed the panel
in the garage from the 240V socket for the arc welder. We open the
mains in the house and close the mains in the shop to backfeed the house.
Just becareful not to over load your feed point by pulling too much
power in the
house and garage.
