[QUOTE="Achucker, post: 226071, member: 5185"] The long answer. No. This type of wire is used for tool and appliance wiring. Not intended for underground. I dont think the insulation would last by the time you built a house. Second you are running 10 gauge wire for 300 feet the volt drop on that would be about 5 volts. This dont sound like much but will shorten the life of the motor. Third. Why would you want to dig this twice. Dig to or past an area where you think your house may be. And run some UF wire that will handle the distance. When the house comes you can always locate, cut and splice on to this wire from the feed from the house. Fourth any and all work needs to be inspected by the state in ND so make sure you get the proper permits (even temp installation). Good luck [/QUOTE]
