scooby wrote $400 just for the electrical help?

Not just the help. The conduit, the wiring, the post, the box, the burying,
contacting city, the permit, the inspection.
It is all what your market charges.
My husband is an electrical engineer and wanted someone who knows city codes,
etc. (He can build you a safe nuclear reactor but he relys on electricans for
work on our home.)

The reason why I suggest this is you sounded a little wonky on the whole
electrical business. Don't want to fool around with electricity if you don't
have a clear understanding of it. With as many children, now teenagers, around
our yard we felt that safety was our highest concern and cost wasn't an issue
when you consider the consequences. I was the before and after-school care mom
on our block so we're talking a lot of kids ;-)
