Quote: If he wires it and uses an extension cord to go from the house to a plug on the outside of the building, it would be considered temporary wiring, not unlike plugging in a tool. This would remove any chance of trouble when not actually using the obs. I did mine that way to avoid digging a ditch.
This is exactly what I was going to do until I talked to the previous owner of our home and found out that there was viable wiring already running directly under the spot where I'm erecting my observatory. I think the extension cord is a simple and effective solution.
