rethinking my water situation -OR- man plans, god laughs, man gets a bigger tank

Hmmm... especially in a wet climate (but anywhere, actually), I'd have a second thought, and probably a third, about burying a bare extension cord for long-term use. (I can also see some critter chewing through it.) It should be pretty easy work for an electrician to run conduit from an existing outlet to a new one. And, I think, a whole lot safer.

Yup, DC. Don't be silly. You're a good friend who told me, yeah, run a new electrical line up onto that new sleeping porch orchid space. Cheapest solution ain't always best. Duh.
