What I'd like to know is...

- How deep and wide of a trench do I need to bury all of this safely? I
don't think there is a minimum distance between gas and power here in
Calgary, but I haven't looked into that.
- What gauge wiring do I need to use and what size breaker in my
basement?
I
figure an Edison circuit from two 30amp breakers on my main panel.
- Do I need to tie the ground from my main panel in the basement to my
panel
in the garage, or do I need a separate ground stake at the garage?
- Should I just get the a gas contractor to come out and dig the trench
for
the gas line and leave it open to drop the other lines in? (ie, should I
try
and dig the trench to save some costs?)
- Will my ideas for the water line work?

There are codes that tell you exactly how deep and how far apart they must
be. Codes in your area may be different than in my area. Call the
utilities and your local building inspector to get the FACTs, not
supposition from a bunch of us that have no clue what your town may want.

I will, but I was looking for general thoughts on how this should be done.
City code is not always the best way to do things, so I might want to go
"better" than code.

You can rent a Ditch Witch for some of the trenching though.

I called around... $250 to rent for four hours!
