by the way thank you guys for all the help, im no electrician, just like to try to do stuff myself, i wont be touching that box above though!

im gonna just go for it, the home depot guy said i didnt need a 90 amp breaker in the picture above, he told me to tie it down to that 200 amp that the house is connected to as you see in the picture. where did he come up with that one??

Gotcha, also the home depot "expert" said i can tie in to my disconnect breaker outside near the meter, as in pu thefeed to thehouse and feed to the pole barn together, sound good? Heres a picture of what im talking about

Well that *****, of course i already bought the stuff, and yes it was a big box "expert". Where i am located i have no code to follow, but safety is #1, seems like everyone i have talked to about mobile home feeder look at me like im crazy, even Loeb electric which is big around here. is mobile...

thanks for that info, going to buy the stuff today, there selling me 2-2-2-4 URD, the guy said it was pretty much the same as mobile home feeder

so if i run the 2-2-2-4 mobile home feeder, is it ok to buy 100 amp breakers? and do they need to be 2 pole or 3 pole? sorry for all the questions but my electrician guy thats helping me is out of town

Ok got another question, while i was outside today i seen below my meter, there is a disconnect box , 200 amp breaker in it and open spots for more. Can i run from this disconnect box to my barn with the 2-2-2-4? i dont plan on conduit, just burying it except for where it comes out of the...

Copy, thanks for clarification man!

80-90 feet to the barn from the panel, where i live im not subject to inspection but still want it safe obviously. And do i didnt know that about the wire at all, thanks for letting me know about that, and my barn is only 576 square feet so that means i would need 21 of those lights!!??

so i just got up the pole barn, by no means am i an electrician at all, but i do like to DIY. From the house im gonna run a 2-2-2-4 direct bury line to the barn with a 100 amp sub panel. I would like to have 1 or 2 220's for air compressor and welder. Other than that i just want good lighting...

Also crushed my thumb with a hammer putting on the last wall girt :/

Well i had a whole day with my dad to work on it yesterday, we managed to get everything but the header and all the purlins on up top, ended up going 4' OC for the trusses so plans changed a little bit, everythingis in the yard waiting to be put on

essentially what im getting at is, my corner posts are set for 24'x24' right now and the 16' gable end garage door posts are set, nothing else im thinking about turning what i already have started into a 30x 40, any thoughts or ideas? the trusses are 30' that comes with the building that was...

Just got a call from a buddy, he disassembled a 30' x56' pole barn last week, comes with everything but the posts $1000 :[ I thought about buying it just for the metal to side my barn, says its all in good shape and its 10' eve's so its perfect size, what are your guys opinions?

Gable end so i dont think its load bearing, now im trying to figure out how much metal i need, i jumped in over my head lol, oh well its a learning experience i guess

Another question i have before i set the posts where the garage door will go between, im doing a 16' wide garage door, so do i set the posts with exactly a 16' space between ? Or doesit need more or less?

Looked over my receipt is is southern yellow pine says SYP behind the size of the lumber

Holes dug, corner post set and concreted, gotta work tomorow so until my next day off this is it

I didnt buy a kit but i got preferred lumber, didnt say what it was made of

What is the difference between pines?
