There is an overhead wire extending from a junction
box above my back door to the garage which is twelve
feet away. The existing wire which is frayed provides
power for a small flourescent light in the garage and
one AC outlet. What is the proper type of wire that
should be used to replace the overhead wire? A brick
patio between the house and garage make burying the
wire infeasible. Thanks.

Sunlight resistant UF cable supported by a messenger wire will work.

if he has a basement, you drill underground, while standing in
basement, its really easy.

my best friend went 30 feet in zero weather to run a replacemnent
power line underground.


That is true. If you can get a good shot at the end of a pipe you can
bore with it easier than you would think.
