I have three strands of 6 gauge wire, green, white and black, each is 60 feet long. Wire was given to me; problem is I need 70 feet to reach from circuit breaker panel box in the garage to a new 60 amp sub panel circuit breaker box in a newly built shed. Twenty-five feet of this is run underground through a 1” conduit, 18” below ground level. It will be used only for 120 volt circuits for 4 outlets, a ceiling light and an exhaust fan. I have two choices: splice a 10 foot piece of wire onto each 60 foot piece or buy and run a whole new wire 70 feet long (210 total feet). The splice box will be located inside the garage, above the ceiling, 9’-9” away from the main breaker box. It’s a matter of economics, 30 feet of wire at $2.00 a foot is a whole lot less expensive than $420.00 for 210 feet of new wire. To hire an electrician to do this will add an additional $475.00 (least expensive bid of three) for a total of approximately $535.00. True, I’m not an electrician, but I am retired and funds are limited. As an experienced handyman, I consider this within my capabilities; but I don’t know what to look for to make this splice. Can someone tell me what I need to make these splices? Also, what kind of box should these splices go into? Yes, I know there is a great deal of harm potential inside the breaker box. Thank you for your consideration and help. Dock

I have a GE Powermark plus panel in my garage, I want to install a 50 GFCI breaker in it. There is plenty of room for more breakers.
