The Twistlocks are a great idea, I was already considering them...

The inuse covers are also expensive, and may not be necessary as per 410-57(B)(2) like you suggest.

Is SO cable the likely temp cable I can use?
It's very plentiful here... What with the mines and all...

What's the best way to guard the cables? Walkways (beer will be present...) will be hard to control, it's a big concern right now...I'd rather trench and bury everything, but you know how that i$.

I think I'll get to talk them in to trenching out to at least a few areas that will require more than a single 15A 120/240V circuit.

How much of a voltage drop can I accept?
The voltage is on the high side in most places here, usually 122 or 123V per leg.
Plays heck on cheap light bulbs... But gives a little headroom in voltage drop. Can I go as little as 115V? Or even 110V?

Many more questions will follow... Probably more and more with a hint of panic too!
