Finally decided to bite the bullet and run a feed to the shed. Its approx 125-150ft away.
-Separate Neutral/Ground in 125a Sub Panel in shed with main breaker installed (DP 30a also)
-15amp breakers for the existing 14ga runs. GFCI outlet already installed on exterior.
-2 8ft ground rods with #10 THWN- Min 6ft apart- Below ground
-3/4" PVC Conduit 18" Deep
-80ft #10 4 Conductor (H1,H2,N,G) THWN Underground
-50ft 10/3 NM Splice in J-Box going to panel at house
-30amp 2 pole breaker in Main panel
All this sound kosher?
Questions:
1. Is #10 THWN suitable for the ground rods since that is the feeder size? Should it also be in conduit, or can it just run through a small hole in the floor outside?
2. What is an easy way to drive a ground rod without power tools? I heard a hole, water, and hammer is simple? LOL.........
