That being said, I have 200a to the house due to no longer used resistant baseboard heaters (120a worth  )
The old feed to the shop was 3 wires on one breaker plus a 12/3 to another...but it was OK because of the garden hose conduit 
Yeah, there's no codes or permits out here. |
NO CODES?? That sounds dangerous. Be careful with garden hose. It rots fairly quickly.
