After searching this forum i see plenty of "House to Garage" questions, codes & ideas.
My question may be a little more direct. Either i will do it with what i have or not
Money is tight but do have some things laying around the shed that I think i may be able to use for a simply shed "enlighting"
I have in my garage:
1 spool, labelled 141UF Underground cable, 14AWG, 600v, PVC - 500 feet single.
box of 15 amp GFCI Outlets, 120v
My question is simple. Should I technically be able to run a wire from already existing outlet on house, 50 feet to shed with 14 AWG wire and make a junction box containing 2-4 of the 15 amp outlet (build in breakers) I know 14 AWG is not ideal at all but considering i only need power to do the following.
recharge cordless drills
run a mini grinder (2.1 amp)
Occasionally other tools as; small circular saw in burst (12 amp), sander, jigsaw etc. dont plan on running any heat/air.
Smaller 5 gallon / 12amp compressor.
+ a light and a radio and little things.
Most of my work is done by the garage so it's not a necessity to have all these things there. technically a light and some various little things would do. mostly for storage but it woudl be nice to have an outlet down there.
+ a light and a radio and little things.
best regards
