Hi all,
We have a shed that resides roughly 50ft away from the back of the house.
We also have a weather proof outlet in the backyard, attached to the house.
I'm pretty tired of using a flash light when looking for things in the shed at night, and wondering if I can safely (safely being the keyword) run an extension cable some how to the shed.
We just spent $2000 getting electrical work re-done on this house (new owners of an old house), so I don't have budget for electrician.
Is it possible to run an extension cable on a permanent basis to the shed from the outlet attached to the back of the house?
My intention should be to run a 7w LED bulb inside the shed, and possibly some 3w garden lights.
This is what the casing on the electrical outlook looks like on the back of the house:
I realize power needs to be run 2 ft under ground and in conduit piping. I'm ok digging up the grass if need be.
Thanks for any input.
