    Sub panel to shed?

    Hi. Wondering how bad (or OK?...doubtful) of an idea it is to run some 14-2 from an existing outlet, underground in PVC to a new sub panel in a shed. The run would be about 20 feet total. I just need one circuit in the shed. Will be running 3 outlets and 2 LED strip shop lights.
