THHN can be run indoors without conduit? Or do you mean SER cable?

Yeah, I'm actually in the SA area! I'm so frustrated that they installed this crappy Eaton BR main lug panel, but I understand code allowed it as long is it takes less than 6 breaker throws to shut off all power. My last house in the Dallas area built around the same year had an Eaton CH main...

Yeah I thought I read somewhere it can be in conduit sleeve to protect it but shouldn't be in an end to end run of conduit. You're right, looks like it's OK, which would make more sense to me. True, I'd much rather deal with THHN or something here, but was thinking a conduit run all the way...

Yeah, I agree it would be ideal to do the new panel swap first. It's just that I pretty much need the receptacle right now, and I could see the new panel not getting installed for another year or two. I pulled the dimensional drawings of the existing Eaton BR1224L125R and the planned...

I'm sure there are a couple ways of doing this, but wanted to get some thoughts on it if possible. I've got an N3R main panel on the outside of my house (no main breaker which pisses me off, but here we are), and I'd like to install a 240V 14-50 receptacle on the other side of that wall which...

Yeah that was one of the design compromises I had to make without laying a row of block or something - the detail at the bottom is not finished and will have trim closer to the slab. The slab is slightly out of square and beyond the 8' dimension by about 1/2" in some places, so it would have...

Well, one thing I've learned is that no matter how precise I am with cutting and placement, framing lumber isn't perfect. I bought #2 KD SPF 2x4s from a local lumber yard thinking that I would get better quality than a big box store, but I was sorely mistaken. A good 10% of the boards were...

Thanks again for the replies, everyone! I'm going with a custom built door for a couple reasons: I already have the materials and hardware, prehung exterior doors are kind of pricey, my rough opening is already sized for it, I don't want a threshold into the shed, and (most importantly) my...

I’ll reduce it then. I did plan on using a rubber door sweep to close that gap too.

I gotcha - 1/8” sounds a little tight for a custom build shed door though? I was slightly worried about any small amount of shifting that could occur in the future. I planned on the door being a sandwich of 7/16” OSB on the back, 2x4 frame, and then LP smart side on the outside - so about...

Thanks again for the help y'all. A little bit of shimming and pushing got things squared up well with the paneling and doorway! On the subject of doors, what do you think a good amount of clearance would be to leave around all sides of the door? I was thinking 3/8" on the top and both sides...

Cost will be right at $1,700 not including taxes or slab. As far as I could tell, a Tuff Shed with similar features would cost significantly more. Has studs 16" OC (except for that front wall), 7' tall walls, LP Smartside panel, LP Smartside trim, 25 degree roof pitch (5.6:12), 8" overhangs on...

Thank's again for the help everyone! I've got some composite shims I'll use to deal with this.

Haha, I really need to remind myself that. I'm sure it will turn out good enough no matter what.

Thanks y'all! I'll try some shimming and hopefully that get's it fixed. Just wasn't sure if I needed to use some mortar or some other load bearing material to fill the rest of the gap, or if it even matters since it's just a shed. For the door, I'd just planned on building it. It's going to...
