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. Jim -- James A.
