I built a wishing well a few months ago, idea is to run a pump in the well up to the bucket and have the water run out of the bucket and splash back into the well.
I need to get power out to the well.
My plan is to use a 3' 6"x6" post in the ground about 18". Mount a weather proof box on it, Then run gray conduit underground from the post back to the house.
Problem I face is, How to finish the run back to the house.
The house has a gfi electrical outlet close by, but is in 6' on a wall surrounded by a concrete patio.
This means, I bury the conduit all the way to the house and end of patio, bring it up and run it over the top of the slab for 6', then to the existing gfi exterior outlet.
All they really want is a extension cord style plug in to turn the pump on and off.
Plug in the cord when they want the well running, unplug it when not.
I am trying to think of a attractive way to run the wire across the patio, and maybe add a switch to turn it on and off.
Any creative ideas here?
