I think my existing electrical service should cover the shed. I have 200 amp service. I am running a totally electric house with water well pump off that 200 amps.
The reason I was opting for the second meter pan was distance.
So lets go there. Lets say under 100ft but very close to it. Maybe 80 to 90 feet away from house meter pan. What size service can I get away with running a welder; air compressor; lights; and may be a heater or window a/c in the future. 50 or 60 amps. 60 amps is #6 times 4 strands at $70 a strand. Then I need a breaker box (sub panel) either way. A ground rod either way is also a good idea.
So for the price of meter box; the rain cap and pipe to get up to hook up point; an electrical permit; I can get 100 amp service to the shed and save $280 on the wire to run from house to shed.
But keep the ideas coming because I am still in the drawing stages.
