One location is a 3 vehicle carport which I just need some lights, 2 ceiling fans and some receptacles. Nothing too fancy except it might be nice to be able to run a compressor in there for working on vehicles or woodworking things. The builder already put a 50 amp service on the side of the house anticipating this project. It's 75' from the house.
The other location is where there is a concrete pad from an old mobile home. I would like to put a 12 x 20 shed on that slab and use the building mostly for storage and maybe small stuff like running a drill and maybe a chop saw. Having a 6000 btu window AC would be a dream if possible. It's 75' in the attic and then 100' outdoors to the shed location.
Because of the mobile home having been there, I found the ground rod when I was doing irrigation, so I ran my trench to that location for the shed electric assuming it would be useful.
Please look at my drawing and photo. You can almost make out the concrete slab on the right in the photo.
I happen to have a 100' roll of 8/2 romex which I would love to be able to use in the attic portion of the shed electric project before transitioning to the UF cable outside.
Because it's heading into the hottest part of the year, I just want to put the UF cable in the ground until fall when the rest of the project will be completed. I did the trenching for this electric when doing the irrigation project.
Please advise me if I can do a 30 amp subpanel at the shed with the 8/2 in the attic and ? for the 100' from house to shed. House was built last year and I'm sure I have room in the main panel. What kind of UF cable to buy and lay in my trenches to the shed and to the carport.
