Today I put in a 240v outlet and breaker.  What, you don't believe me? Here's proof:

I agree! Luckily I was at the hardware store when I got this notification. Thank you!

I'm a 220V outlet installing machine! Waiting for the rest of y'all to catch up.  Here's another one:

Can't let Kyle be the only one doing 220 outlets.  I thought I'd give him some company here, oh, and I wanted to be able to run my new welder off 220 instead of 110.  So this required me to install an outlet and breaker to do this.

It was a fairly straightforward job, though I did need to remove some wall paneling to add the box and wiring.  It's out in my pole barn so it's not like things need to be beautiful.  The wall panel is OSB after all.  I was able to mount the outlet box right near the breaker box so that made it easy as far as wire runs go.

My breaker box had two spare breakers in it already that were right next to each other.  Perfect, I just pulled them out and could install the 220 breaker in those slots.  I also first tried using some 6 gauge solid copper ground wire I already had.  It ended up being just way too stiff so I abandoned that and used more of the wire I was using for the hot leads after running to the hardware store to get a roll of green electrical tape so I could properly mark it as a ground wire.

Here are the picks for my BB submission on this project.
