I agree with Jimmie, as far as getting a cord, I have gotten all of mine from Home Depot.

Yeah, I think the 12 gauge will be the right one for me, and outdoor

walmarts? No way No walmart, home depot, sears, lowes etc..

Lets see, we have Byggmakker, Jernia, coop bygg, maxbo ++ All of them is hard ware and building stores

But I need a US cord, so need to buy it from there

pirex I agree with togwt on this one and spend the money and get a cord with a GFI. GFI's are the safest way to handle electricity when using an extension cord especially in areas that may be wet. If you don't already have a GFI outlet to plug it into then get a cord with one and 12 gauge like everyone has said is the way to go.
