i have a newer bubble front machine the problem is there is no outlet in the front of the house the only outlet that is on the outside of the house in in the back yard. can you guys please help me with this problem on what i can do to get power to this machine

Bicycle generator  :glare:

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:

so every one i have talked to said i just need to install a outlet on the outside of the house where the pop machine will be, is that what you guys are telling me

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 just dont think the landlord will let me. if i put a outlet there does anyone know about how much that will cost

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.

ya i was going to hire someone to do it. we just done have a whole lot of money with another baby on the way
