Kinda don't care about code beyond the garage. Won't be selling the property in the foreseeable future, and the wiring was always makeshift.
That old house had the fixtures with pull chains on the sockets, along with an outlet. My dad routed strings through eye screws to these sockets so we could turn lights on where entrances were rather than having to walk to the socket to turn them on.
So, it sounds like the project cost might be nothing if the section of 10 gauge can be used in the existing conduit, and assuming we've already got a sub panel. I'm sure we've got a spare ground rod laying around somewhere too.
So, if 10 gauge is acceptable for 30 amp service at 100 ft distance, does that mean I use a 30 amp breaker in the house2 main panel?
