My shop is metal siding - vertical master-rib, r-rib, whatever you want to call it. I am running electrical to it, 2.5" conduit up the wall, thru an LB, thru the wall and straight into the back of the panel. Due to distance, I am working with 4/0 MHF, so going high on the outside wall to...

My new shop is going to be right at 550' from the main disconnect on the house. I am planning on 100 amp service. (Current shop has 60 amp service, and that has been adequate for the past 15 years...there is only one of me, and I can only do one thing at once). Figure another 15' or so...
