Hi new to this site. I have a small cabin 400 sq. ft.
My builder installed 3 power outlets. A light switch
that will turn on fan with a light. He is not a electrician.
There is wires hanging down under my cabin, I want to use a generator now and then. How and what do I need to set this up pictures would be great.
Thank you HHH

Also, if its not finished on the inside, I would suggest a small inside panel, run circuits from that to your lighting and outlets and then feed the panel with an input from your generator using an inlet.

You have to tell us exactly what is there now. Pictures will help a lot. The better the info you supply the more accurate the responses can be.

I will wait to see what you have now, and we can all pitch in and go from there.
