$3000 cable using stock Home Depot wire...

your link is dead.


I tried some HD cable from a 12 gauge extension cord.
They lasted only as long as it took me to break out my beloved's again, and get them back into place. A wasted half day.

Hmm, it seems that I can no longer find it on Home Depot's Canadian site at all.  Very strange, in fact I can only find something like 3 different outdoor extension cords listed period.  Not like when I first posted and I came up with more then a dozen different ones.

Honestly, most of the extention cords are going to work about the same as long as they are pretty hefty and the guage that you want.  I got mine from Menards and it works just fine.
