Well I'mnot sure how helpful this will be but when I wired my shed I used a
book by "Creaive Homeowner" called Quick Guide Wiring, 3rd Edition. ISBN 1-880029-83-9. I can't remember where I got it but it might have been the BORG. The price was $7.95 (slightly higher in Canada). It is pretty basic an covers all the usual stuff. I liked the fact that it had pretty good illustrations. Also, if you live in a small community is there any chance that there is someone else there who has done their own wiring and can lend you a hand? "Ralph" wrote in message ... I have the code book simplified and it's pretty straight forward but the problem is I have never wired. I need a good up to date book that shows how to hook up A to B. The little details that make up the work. Some tips on the best layout for a small shop (14x20) would be nice as well. I know I want as many plugs as I can get in here. I also would like a nice panel of switches (6-8) at the door that allow me to turn off stuff like compressor, air purification, dust collection, fans, lights, etc as I leave. I'm putting in electric heat (simple overhead construction heater) as well so need some advice on 220 as well. I may convert my tablesaw to 220 as well. Please don't tell me to talk to an electrician. I can't afford one and living in a tiny community doesn't help. If I can't do this on my own it's not going to get done. The electrical inspector is a great guy and has offered to make an extra visit or two to help me out. I'm a very quick study for most things, it's just that I have never had to do much electrical.
