New 30 Amp Shed Sub Panel underground electrical feed. - Should I use 10/3 UF-B or 10/2 UF-B and is

Hi BeGreen

Thanks for all the advise on the 10/3 you really got me going on the right track! I did not need the beer frige in the winter but I may be looking for one for the summer. Now that the paneling is in I can mount it in a good spot.

I made a nice wood box for the Electric Panel and wires. After that I moved the T-Stat to the outside front top of the wood box. It works a little better that way!

Also have a plastic folder on the inside of the wood door that holds the SIGNED town permit!

Thanks BeGreen

Well, here is the final Electrical Outlet. Now that I have the proper lighting with the LED warm white rope light lighting up the shelves, I still could not see the stove on the hearth for cleaning and working on. So like I have in the main house, a cleaning work light would be nice here. I found the best location is low on the ceiling in the front of the shed so it will shine on the hearth and the front on the stove I am working on.

The LED spot light works well but, there is no outlet to plug the light into!

Therefore, I founds some left over 12-3 wire and did the following:
1. Using a romex connector, I wired the 12-3 into the electrical workbox where the interior light switch is connected.
2. Then I drilled out holes in the ceiling 2x6s to run the wire to the middle of the front of the shed ceiling to a new work box.
3. Then I found a small piece of scrap 1x2 piece of pine that I cut to size and nailed it between the studs to mount the LED spotlight.
4. Using AC tester, test for proper wire connections before final assembly
5. Plug in spot and using a wire tie bundle the slack to make the wires neat!

Since I used a piece of scrap 12-3
Total cost of 20 Amp outlet and box was less than $10.00!

LED spotlight was only $24.95 at Lowes!

Now I just have to install a ship lap ceiling!

Got a kegerator? If so, you are all set.

Hi BeGreen
I finally got this on this rainy night.
I kid in town had 2 for sale $20 and $50, I choose the newer one (Only 1 yr old) and got it for $45
Not bad, this is it
It is the 4.5 Cu Ft model according to the model # so the ad is incorrect.

Emerson 4.5 Cu Ft model CR519b - has a nice rack for cans in the door!

It can be made into a Kegerator with only a few mods.
Looks like the coolant lines in the top have to be moved also!
