Mind you I'm still working on my deer stand not on an old folks home or day care center.
I was at Home Despot today and noticed they have 10' sticks of 1/2" cpvc conduit for $1.59 a stick. That got me thinking about some THHN wire I bought at an auction about 15 years ago and haven't used much of it. Most of it is 12 ga - some stranded some solid. 500' rolls.
So if I used two (or 3) strands for the hot and similar for the neutral and also pull a ground through (I'll even tape it green on both ends) would that work to power my hut?
Probably could use less on the neutral couldn't I? Or would you make them the same?
This would get me the 200' I need to go pretty cheaply.
As always thanks for the great advice on these boards.
