Bump

Hi all. My pole barn is coming along well, I'm just looking to add a few finishing touches to the electrical. I wanna add a few outdoor lights and outlets, but I'm trying to find the best way to install them, since the metal obviously has ridges and no great flat areas. I would prefer to recess...

Thank you for the answer. Quite relieving, because drilling holes through my ancient floor joists sounds even less appealing than trying to run the conduit.

I attached some diagrams to illustrate what I'm doing. The Mobile Home Feeder will be in entirely in conduit for the entire run from the sub-panel, underground, up to the J-box.

Well, back to the drawing board, sort of. Trying to feed 90A to my detached garage. Was originally gonna use 2-2-2-4 MHF in conduit all the way, but trying to navigate conduit around my cramped and overcrowded (wiring and pipe wise) basement just isn't feasible, so taking a suggestion from my...

Coralnut is correct. We still have two or three post holes to fill, but rock solid dirt, so we're just waiting until the skid steer gets here to get the floor ready for concrete.

Hah, not a spec of insulation in my 90 year old unfinished basement. That's part of the reason why there's so much I have to navigate through! :scared:

Roger. I found a few options at the local store. Gonna consider my options and will update back once I start and complete it. Here's a link to my build thread with some pictures in it, including my wiring so far. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=296013

Some more pictures.

A project that has been two years in the making between myself and my father finally came to fruition last month. It's still a huge work in progress, with electric and the concrete being the two major things currently in progress, but it's getting there. It was built on the site of our 50+ year...

Re: XHHW-2/ or Mobile Home Feeder in Conduit Run to Sub Panel Question After again looking at the run in my basement, this is sounding more and more appealing. Any other input on this, or anything special I should know if I choose to go this route? Could I make the joint in this puller fitting...

Solar powered dusk-dawn security light. Harbor Freight sells them for $30. As stated before, you'll turn down the road and hit that one pothole and know, house is up on the right. :beer:

Yeah I was planning on conduit the whole way for the exact reason of if it ever need to be replaced. And the more I see everyone recommends 2", I'm probably gonna return the 1" I bought for data cables, and get 2" for electric and use the 1 1/2" for data. Is there any preference bringing...

Just did my 30x40x14H garage with 12 of these, split into three strips of four. You can't beat the price at $40 a pop and I am extremely satisfied with them, not to mention bulbs are much easier to transport since it uses 4 4' bulbs instead of 2 8' bulbs...

I have no problem spending the extra for 2-2-2-4, and even if I could get away with a 4 neutral, no real advantage other than cost savings. As for the conduit run, it's kind of a rough area I'm running through with roots and rocks and what not, so same deal, for the additional cost of the 50' of...
