I've got  no "good" way to run 220 to the shack as I'm not permitted 
to drill holes  to run line but what I do have available are outlets 
on different sides of  the 220 coming into the house.

Are there any good arguments why I  shouldn't tap off of the hot side 
of two separate line sources which gives  me confirmed 220 and use the 
ground common to each outlet for the line  ground wire which both are 
connected to the block? The breakers for each  leg are 15 amps, the 
wiring is for 20A at 110V. I'll be running legal  limit so there's no 
excess draw as a heating problem for the  wires.

Thanks,



Hmmmm.....not good, but at least rearrange the 2 breakers that you want to  
use for the 220 and put them on a 2 pole breaker, that is better than not doing 
 anything.
