Electric Half Done/Garden Update

[robby]

I ran the electric cable though pvc pipe to the shed, connected to house power, and then back-filled the ditch. Tomorrow I need to buy two metal boxes, a switch, and two light sockets. I have some nice light fixtures that came from my Dad. He bought them years ago, but never wired them, and it will be good to finally put them to use. The next step might be to lay paving bricks on a section between the house and the shed.

I weeded the garden. The peas, broccoli, lettuce, green onions and red and yellow onion sets are all up. No freeze yet, and the forecast is for a week of mild weather.

Are you pulling straight off household current or do you need a transformer? You have to use hefty cable?

I just connected to a 20 amp GFCI plug on the side of the house. I used 12-2 cable that is rated to be directly buried, but ran it anyway though underground pvc pipe. This is for what will be my kiln shed, and I'll wire just two lights and one outlet. I just ran a big natural gas line there to fuel the kiln.
