Run to Home depot & get a 100' 12/gauge 20 amp extension cord & run it around the house & plug it into the machine, now wait for the next local Coke distributors delivery driver to pull into your driveway & confiscate "their" machine when you are not home ( oh & they'll take the extension cord too...)   tounge



Or move the machine to the back, seriously ... Oo

Pretty much - you need a heavy extension cord if you are going to run it around.  Do it right and put in an outlet.

I have no idea, perhaps less than $50 of parts & wire providing you know what you are doing.  or check over at electrical-outlets.com's website (kidding)  If he wouldn't like you running an extension cord, he's really not going to enjoy you drilling a new hole in his garage to install an outlet. let alone parking a 650lb bubble front Coke machine in front of "his" house. why not just slip it out under the front garage door off to the side were the machine is going & plug it inside. (the garage)

word to the wise...DON'T put "Adult" beverages in the machine...Cop's tend to frown upon contributing to the delinquency of minors, ( they would call it an "attractive nuisance" let alone they'll drink up all of your beer.

good luck

Honestly check with the Land lord and see if you can do it or not, He may want you to get pro to install a new outlet.
