   Now that it has rained and the ground is soft, it is time to dig a 
trench and run some electricity to the fountain I installed in the backyard 
during the summer.  Its been running on a extension cord since 
summer.   Its a small water fountain and one 40W light bulb.

   What are the rules for running wire underground ? I was thinking of just 
running romex a foot or so deep but now that I am ready to do it I think it 
should probably done better than that.  Is romex ok ? or should it be wire 
in some kind of conduit ? I assume plastic conduit if it is.  I figure it 
only has to last 5-10 years before we move and we will take the fountain 
with us so there is no need to bother with a permit and making a extremely 
busy inspector come out just for this but that does not mean I don't want 
to do it right and safely.
