I have a shed about 30 feet from my house and main panel. Here is my plan to get electricity to it. Please advice if you am doing everything correctly.

-Install a 20 amp GFCI breaker in my main panel
-Run 3/4" grey PVC 18" deep from my house to the shed
-Use 12/2 THWN cable in the PVC
-In the shed I will have the wiring first come into a switch (standard toggle switch)
-After the switch I will install an outlet and a couple of lights.

The electricity in the shed will be used for lights and the occasional power tool (circular saw, hedge trimmer, etc.)

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
