My FIL has a well pit with a sump pump. When they go south for the winter they shut off the well. The sump pump is on the same circuit. This means the pit can fill with water (they've had that happen during a power failure). FIL was going to string an extension cord from the house under the deck to the well pit and power the sump pump off of that. Then he could shut off the well and still have power to the sump pump. MIL said "better call an electrician, that's probably not code". I agreed, big time. Electrician came out and said "it'll cost $150-200 to put in a separate line but if I were you, I'd just run an extension cord out there". :roll: :roll: (I don't know what his name was, but I'd bet on "BUBBA")
