[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1541190, member: 100"] Draw an illustration of what you have- Street to each service panel and (if known) the path between each, then post a pic. Literally, worth 1000 words. Ultimately, you may indeed have to upgrade your service or run a second line from street to shop. Depending on who you talk to, you might be able to dig, lay line (uncovered) and set up everything, then let a licensed Electrician come in and connect everything, to make it all legal and safe for your municipality. Even if you don't need a permit, the advice of an Electrician might only take a couple minutes with a big legal pad of paper to copy down everything and save a bunch of money in the long run. Plan for even more use in the future- More lights, bigger air compressor, etc.. If you have to dig in line, be sure to call Okie and have them find all of the other stuff you're sure to chop up ;) A Ditch Witch trencher runs about $150/ day, or $75 for 1/2 day. Get everything ready so you can rent it, use it, then get it back. I've dug 100yd in a 1/2 day rental. Be careful, they're dangerous and evil b!tches. [/QUOTE]
