Moving forward with the planning of a new 750 sq ft dirt floor; metal siding and roof poleshed/garage/workshop.
Went to the parish office to find out about a building and electrical permit. The reason I enquired about the permit in the first place is because I want to put a separate meter pan and breaker box on shed. About 100 amps; to run my welder; some lights; ect. Was told that if I build what I call a carport (post and roof only) I do not need a permit for the building. No code to follow build it as good or poor as you want. If I put sides on the carport I need a permit; flood elevation; wet stamp plans; follow all 110 mph wind codes; ect.
So I have decided to build a carport only for now. hint hint.....
Now all I need is the electrical permit. Inspector was not in office for me to pick his brain so I figured I would get some "preliminary" advise here. I want to install a meter pan and breaker box; and maybe a plug for a welder and some over head lights. Nothing over board but just enough to justify installing a separate meter pan out there and get past this electrical inspection.
By code I understand I can put a meter pan and breaker box on the post of a carport; I just need to use a water proof outside breaker box. I understand that I can put a plug for my welder on a pole as long as I install a small waterproof box to put the plug in and run the wires in pvc (grey) pipe. I understand I will need to run the light wires in pvc and install a waterproof light switch.
What I am not sure of is what kind of light sockets he will be looking for since this will be under a roof but not in a closed in building.
What kind of electrical box is code for the light switch and light socket. Will metal boxes like the sell at hardware do?

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
