Ok it turns out the boiler only needs a 15 amp circuit and not a 30. So for a 15 amp circuit for that and then a wall plug and a few lights what size wire would you recommend?

Thanks for the info. I will be sure to do all that when i am ready to hook it all up.

I'm pretty sure I will have less than 6 breakers in the barn. Probably only 3 or 4. I really appreciate your time and knowledge in helping me with my project.

6-3 wire it is then. Just called a local electrical supply place and the 6-3 uf is $2.10 a foot. Ill get around 150ft of that and a double pole 50 amp breaker, 2 8' ground rods and a small subpanel. Thanks for all the help guys! Edit: Any recomendations on a panel for inside the barn?

Ok, so a subpanel is 240v? Is there a way to run power out there without it being 240v?

Ok so #6 uf copper wire and a single pole 50 amp breaker for the main panel is what i will need. Do i need a 6-2, 6-3 or 6-? wire?

I think I would just perfer to do direct bury for the ease factor. So would you go with al instead of cu wire? And can you hook the #4 wire up to a regular 50 amp breaker in my house or does it need to be a special one due to the size of the wire? And since this is only for 120v how many wires...

I have built a small 14x20 pole barn to house a indoor wood boiler and a years worth of wood. I need to run power out to it and install a subpanel. The wood boiler manual states that it needs to have its own 30 amp circuit and then I want to have one or two wall plugs and lights inside the barn...

Cool, I agree it does look pretty nice! On another note how long did you have to wait for the concrete footing to dry before placing the poles on them?

Just curious why you went with steel on the cieling instead of drywall?

Found this wilton vise on craigslist. Says it has never been used and looks to be true. I tried searching and counldnt really come up with any info on the model number that the ad says it is, a 2050. You guys think this is a decent deal? http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/tls/3746474881.html

I would recommend not doing that. If you want to build a 20x20 pole barn or 3 sided building I would go to your local lumber yard and have them put a package together for you.

You cant be too far from me then, Boyne City, was born and raised in Petoskey.

Goodwrench how did you end up insulating the sides of the slab?

Greg Smith? What model did you go with?
