Getting power to my shed...good or bad plan?

[Diamondpilot]

We had no idea when we built that we would clear this spot and put the shed on it. It is actually across the creek and away from the house but connected to the front of our long drive. I like the idea of permanent power there in case I eventually put a bigger shop adjacent to the shed.

Yea, its hard to think of everything. I was just stating a good electrical contractor would have got you thinking about future needs by asking you the questions. I though it was overkill for us to have a 200 amp service and a 100 amp service but now I am glad we did.

not always. Ive been an electrical contractor for a long time, and let me tell you there have been alot of times i have tried to convince people to think about future projects and upsize their service and have been told flat out that im trying to rip them off... so i stopped trying to tell these people... and i bid what they want.

now if they ask me my opinion, well thats a different thing
