Misc Electricians

Need some help figuring some wiring. I have a 12/2 line coming from the breaker to my shed/root cellar. I want to split the source into two and have one go to the cellar and one to the shed. Both will need a single-ole switch to control a light and a receptacle at the end of the run that is always on.

Does anybody have a wiring diagram of this they can share?

something like this, but stop at just the one switch and one receptacle.

If you're having that hard of a time with it than suck it up and call up a proper tradie and pay them to do job for you. Srs.

I don't say that as an insult. But know your limitations, and learn to accept when it's not worth the hassle of trying to figure it out yourself.

Well, it's pretty easy OP. You see, the first thing you need to do is call a professional before you blow your ass up and it's as simple as that.

Understand that within electric they are huge on safety. Lots of licensing and chit involved

And a "master" you get to do work will have a license, will have to pull a permit from the county to do your work and then will have to have insurance to cover theirs and their employees butts and the work they do.

This is not advice. Maybe a theoretical framework on how you could supposedly wire this

But, stick both black wires (hot)

Onto the single pole switch.

Tie the neutrals together (white) (at switch for simplicitys sake)

Put your ground green wire on the green screw

Then put the black wire from your switch to your black screw on the outlet. And your white wire on the silver screws

Put green wire on ground screw

Also, you don't want to fuk chit up

I'll watch my house burn to the ground before I call a tradie. I got it figured, just had to run 12/3 between the switch and light.
