Hopefully this is the correct subreddit to post this on. If not, could someone or the mods direct me where I should post this question please.
I have a 12 by 12 foot prefabricated shed that was given to me that has been converted into a playhouse for my child. The shed has 1 overhead light, A wall mounted air conditioner / heater, a small television, as well as a dorm style refrigerator. The person that converted the shed (or rather remodeled the shed) currently has it wired using standard indoor 12-2 copper wiring that is connected to a grounded plug so that a standard extension cord plugged into an outlet will power the entire contents with no problem.
I have decided to run outdoor 10 - 2 copper wiring to the shed. This brings me to my first dilemma: Should I install a small fuse box inside the shed or simply tie it into the existing wires that connect each appliance as well as one wall outlet. Or, if I decide to use my original plan with the outdoor wiring, would it be safer, easier, and just as sensible to attach a plug on the end of the wiring and connect it to the existing plug on the shed from the previous owner.
I plan to connect the wiring to a fuse box to my existing shed that is fed from my house. If this is a logical way to wire up the new Playhouse then what amp breaker should I wire the Playhouse to? However I would love feedback on alternative ways to run power to the Playhouse if you think I am wasting my time, being unsafe. Etc.
Any feedback and or tips would greatly be appreciated. Thank you
