300ft 120v run through cinderblock wall.
I've done some minor electrical work around the house but nothing really substantial so I'm not too sure where to start with this. I'm planning on building a cinder block w/ veneer and wrought iron fence in front of my house and wanted to top the pillars with lights and add a few electrical outlets for yard decor. Should I run conduit through the concrete footing or alongside it and put a junction where the conduit goes into the pillars? I'm also thinking I'll have to run 8 awg stranded for that distance, should I run a ground as well or would I be able to use the rebar in the concrete footers? Probably a stupid question but am I able to tap into an existing outlet or should I have my electrician run a separate line off my electrical panel I can pick up at the start of the fence? submitted by /u/Fiendseligkeit [link] [comments]
