I'm dug a 2 foot deep trench approx 23 feet long. Starting at the main panel on the outside of the house to the storage building 23 ft away. I will be running #4 burial cable into the storage building. What is the lowest point of entrance allowed to make entrance into the building? I currently have the breaker box positioned inside at about 5 feet above the floor. I would like to go in low into the building with an Lb 1 1/4 inch and then bring the cable up along a stud in conduit will this be okay. I'm doing this so it looks less noticeable from the outside.
My second problem is and I don't know the code very well on this. When I bring power up and into the storage building I will be approx. 9 inches from the doorway. The door swings out and the LB will act as a door stop. I was told to put another door stop to prevent the LB from damage. Again the problem is I have already dug the ditch and need to know if the inspector would frown at the LB being so close to the door?. I could have gone underground but when I built the building when didn't run a pipe in the concrete so I would need to chip away the solid concrete to go under ground to much work but would eliminat the LB. Can one of you professionals help me out on this. I can also email you pictures of my project if needed.
3rd will someone explain the inspection process to me I understand a rough in and then a final. Will the final mean all the wall need to be cover in wall board before he okays the electrical? I was hoping I didn't have to cover the walls to pass inspection just another expense.
Any help will be appreciated.
