Wizard,

I ended up burying in conduit #6G copper, 240 v sp. That will allow me a lot more power (10kW) in or out.

Got lots of 12x12 pavers already here. I buy them by the truckload as they are cheap ($1 each) and can be sealed with concrete sealer.

Remember where I am at (Oklahoma). Our frost line is maybe 18 inches and the piers that I put in are clearly overkill.

And yes, a 30K mini spilt would be perfect. But that will have to wait a year or so . . . . .

Pictures coming!

Steve
