Ron Richardson: Yeah? Are you gonna make it all 220?
Chad Tower: Yeah. 220... 221, whatever it takes.

You could take a 240V breaker from the house panel to feed a small distribution panel inside the shed.  At the shed distribution panel you could have both 240V and 120V breakers to run whatever curcuits you want.

The cost difference between running a 240V and a 120V should be very small.  Run a 240V curcuit out there, you will eventually have something in the shed that needs it.

It's ironic how Ron thought he was being the smart one, but the standard has been 240, not 220 since the 70's
Gonna have to watch that movie again...think we have it on DVD

Let's get real technical and call it 115/230, since that is what is always actually flowing in the house.
