I may try to bang out a quick MHF run to my shop before winter rolls in hard. Do you guys have any recommendations for online vendors? I am not seeing much available locally but see Nassau cable sells it for about 2.39/ft. I need about 80 feet. https://nassaunationalcable.com/products/2-2-2-4-****-quadruplex?variant=27475865763940

That may be the best price you're going to find, depending on shipping. Wire and cable your way is over $4 per foot and my pricing at the local supply house is $3.40.

Edit: I actually clicked on the link. That isn't MHF, that is URD which isn't allowed inside a building unless it's dual rated. The description doesn't say if it is or isn't. 2-2-4-6 MHF is $4.15 A foot.

Thank you for clarifying, I appreciate it.

Man I wish I had the time to do this 2 years ago when the wire was 1/4 of the price.

I forgot to put the link to the MHF in my other post.

Is shipping included? I have to add a minimum of an hour of what I pay my helper every time we need to make a trip to Home Depot or Lowes.

Amazon Prime saves me a lot of money. I order from my desk and it gets delivered.

Shipping for 80' of cable was $25 when I checked out the estimator.

I'm able to pull power right out of my meter socket, and I could junction outside my detached garage to remain code compliant. It's hard to ignore the huge price difference on the URD. I need to figure out what the junction box would tack onto the overall cost.
