Around here each out building panel also needs two 10ft ground rods driven at least 10 ft from each other. The main service panel has the neutral/ground bonded.The "pony panels" all have the neutral/ground open. The two ground rods are connected to each other and to only the ground lug in the pony panel. If you don't go at least 60Amp in the out building you will always wish you had. My code book isn't handy but I think TWU #2 or #3 aluminium or copper buried 3+ ft deep will work with the 60 amp out panel . Use a 4" plastic drain tile as a raceway. If there is ever a fault the whole run can be easily pulled out. Out side receptacles must be GFI and it's a good idea if all inside 120V 15-20 amp U-Grounds are as well. If you find the meter base rusted out a Ronk transfer switch/meter base works well and is reasonable $. If supplying the out building from a pair of breakers in the exisiting panel. A panel change to a Reliance Control panel puts the transfer switch for a generator right in the main breaker panel. Or you can install a feed through transfer switch mounted between the existing meter base and existing breaker panel. This weather proof feed-through panel also has four full sized breakers. The new shed panel could be fed off it. In for a penny, in for a pound. This is the time to upgrade when everything is already torn up.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
