Would it be possible to put this on a switch in addition to using the light sensor if you wanted to turn it on when the sensor isn't activated?
Would you have to wire it like a three way switch with the light sensor acting as the second switch? Or is there another way that I'm missing?

[@handydadtv]

You could definitely wire it with a switch but not a 3-way. The switch wouldn’t override the light sensor.

Great job

Thanks 😊

Should the conduit from the outlet into the ground be sealed so that insects don't make their way into that wall box?

[@handydadtv]

I always leave it open, so water can escape down the bottom.

[@secretagentbrewsky]

do you have 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit?

[@handydadtv]

Yes. Nothing wrong with that. Just can’t put 20 amp outlets on a 15 amp circuit.

[@Eric.Mercado]

I can’t believe you or they got rid of that gorgeous blue spruce! 😢 As well as some of the other mature specimens. Were they diseased or unhealthy?

[@handydadtv]

They were all overgrown.

[@KeatonWarner1]

Direct burial cable must be 24 inches deep unless under concrete or in conduit per NEC section 300.5.
18” if using pvc conduit and 6” if using rigid metal conduit.

[@handydadtv]

True for non-GFCI circuits.

Look at column four, 12" for 120 volt GFCI protected branch circuit.
