Subject:Any electricians?
Date:Wed, 14 Jun 1995 10:36:43 -0500 (CDT)

I have a VW related question for you all.  :)  The garage at my new 
place is perfect except for the lack of electricity.  I bought a big 
extension cord to run out there from the house.  So far all I plan to 
run off the thing are lamps.  All of the power tools I have right now 
are cordless.  So, before I go burn the place to the ground:  Can 
somebody tell me how many 100 watt bulbs I can plug into this cord?  
It says "Use this medium capacity outdoor cord with garden or power 
tools and appliances that require 10 amps or less."  It also says 16 
AWG on there and down by the little UL sign it says 10A 1250W 16/3 
SJTW-A.  It is 100ft in length.  I recently consolidated my household 
with my SO so I have about as many lamps as I could want for plugging 
in out there.  Last night we pushed and turned the bus sideways in 
there so I have more room at the rear for getting the motor in and 
out.  All I need is to order a few more parts and get myself a little
work bench built.  Thanks for any help with the electricity thing.
