    Gotcha. Some one at work told me about a buck fitty if I had the breakers. Sounded a bit high since I just wanted the outlet right at the breaker.

    That sounds about right. I'm assuming that's without the extension cord to. If it were that would be a killer deal. I paid about that much in materials(including the extension.)

    Never thought about the extension so I was assuming that was just labor with my switches. I guess Lowes would have 220 rated wire and a male and female end that I could get and do myself. I suppose 20ft or so should do me.
