I did this exact same job a couple of years ago. The worst part of the job was
digging
the trench from the house to the garage. :-(
He should get the "Pocket Guide to Electrical Installations Under NEC 2002,
Volume 1: Residential". This will not explain how to do the work, but it is a
very
good reference to make sure that the work meets code, and it's much cheaper than
a copy of the full NEC ($26 instead of $65).
