I am trying to find some answers as it relates to having an 8 x 8 wood shed built in my back yard.

When I moved into my home 12 years ago, I had a hot tub and concrete slab removed. This is where I would like to install the new shed.
The hot tub had a 50 amp 240 volt dedicated circuit hooked up to this hot tub. I had a qualified electrician disconnect this circuit, and the fuses are turned off on the electrical/fuse box. This circuit would need to be turned back on if someone ever decided to add a hot tub in that spot again. I also have a key that would need to be used in order to activate that circuit. The electrician capped off that circuit.

My question is: can I safely hire someone to build a shed over this dead circuit/conduit? Is it safe? I do know how deep the conduit
is underneath the ground or how deep the shed foundation would have to be dug into the ground.

Unfortunately this electrician has retired.


I am hoping this makes sense and that someone can help.

Thank you!

Kate
