There are outdoor rated cords some with a gfci breaker built in. The one thing that I learned is to purchase the flat ones as opposed to the round. When the round get cold it is almost impossible to roll them out or coil them back up. The flat ones don't get as tangled. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee A.

Is there a particular cord that one might reccomend to run electricity maybe 50 feet from an outside outlet. I want to hook up a tricle charge on a truck we have setting for right now. what I was thinking is a standard lead or extension cord might not be weather proof or is it better than using a piece of 12-2 or 14-2 whire/ romex wire? I could also tag it into a whire I have coming out of the house which goes into my generator box. that wire provides electricity which maintains a trickle charge to a big truck battery that powers the starting of the generator. maybe putting a splitter there ? got ideas feel free to comment. thanks.Lee -- People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time. -- Norman Cousins Come and chat with me at #quietzone on irc.newnet.net ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [email protected] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [email protected]!
