Sorry, the answer didn't appear until I wrote my 2 question.

I think I really trust him but I only question it because I had trouble getting a hold of him and I went to Lowe's and Home Depot and talked to them an they both told me two different things. I'm an Aircraft Electrician in the Navy and I have a basic knowledge of residential wiring but not to this extent. The other guys were talking voltage drop with that much feet in wire but when he told me that we'd run out of my MAIN breaker 2 50 amps to the shed... had my head scratching.

Thanks, that was really deep but I'm assuming I'm good to go with the plan.

I forgot to ask this question, If I do run 8 THHN through PVC with a run of 100 ft, do I need to run four 8 THHN wires... 2 hots, 1 nuetral and 1 ground or can neutral and ground be a different type wire... trying to save a little money... just asking.

You said the neutral needs to be a white #8, is that regular wire or THHN/THWN also.

News flash, just found a sale of #6 THHN/THWN on sale, 500 ft roll for $100, can I use this instead of #8

In the Navy as an elctrician I would say the bigger the wire the better, #6 can handle more AMPS which is better... I'm new at this residential gig.
