HI, I just built an 8x12 shed over my well. The well had an existing A frame
cover over it. It is 5' x 4' x5'2" deep. Has a jet pump wired straight from
main panel at electric pole, 3 wires directly wired to pressure switch. 220 ,
I think.

Here's the question, is there any way to use the exisisting wiring to supply
110 power to shed? All I'm looking at is a couple of lights, a couple of
plugs for minor tool usage.


With a transformer. Otherwise, you need four wires: two hots and ground (which
you have already), and neutral (which you don't).


Isn't a stove 220? and it gets its 120 from one of the hot legs and the
neutral.


Yes, of course -- but, as noted, he doesn't *have* a neutral. He has two hots
and a ground.
