Ok douche bags. Now that you have had your pissing contest, here is how you fix your fucking problem. Jesus people, what's next; a statement that 220 uses half the electricity that 110 does?
Anyways, this is what you do.
1. Open your panel
2. Determine which breaker goes to that switch (which should be obvious as it is blowing)
3. Shut the breaker off
4. Stick a simple $4 tester in the outlet to make sure it is dead.
5. Cut that dryer outlet off.
6. install two or three or four new junction boxes. use the ones designed for outdoor use if you want to be extra safe. Just screw them to plywood that you will eventually just glue to the wall.
7. wire the outlets in a series. for 220 outlets you are wiring black to one side, white to the other side, and grounds to the ground of the outlet.
8. The outlets are going to need to be 220 (the two prongs are horizontal, not vertical).
9. Now go to the panel, shut off the main switch.
10. Make sure the breaker is wired as follows.... red and black or black and white..whatever the colors are; both go to the breaker. The ground gets screwed to the bus bar in the panel. you will see all the whites and grounds going to the bus bars.
11. Close panel, turn it on, and go to town.
Ok, on a slick, money saving side note, you can set up things a little differently to save some cash on timers and 220 plugs. This is how mine is set up. You wire in a couple outletts with the 220 outlets.. space the apart as the timers will plug into them. The cheap timers only have one plug and can power 10 amps. So now you have two timers with two places to plug in a 220 plug.
Now buy two 220 plugs at home depot. Get a two gang outlet box and wire two standard outlets in it.. the ones that are like $.39 each. 12 gauge wire here folks. Now, the wire coming out of that box will be attached to the 220 plug that you bought. Mount it on the wall near the timers. Plug the cord into the timer.
So now you have 4 outlets with standard plugs that are wired 220. You can run a total of 10 amps through it which for me is 3 600 ballasts. So with the setup described above you can run 6 600 hoods using two timers. You also don't have to buy 220 cords for your ballast. Important side note!! Take permanent marker and write 220 ONLY on the outlet so you don't get high ad plug a pump or lamp into it and fry the fuck out of it.
For all those that are going to cry "this isn't up to code" In terms of lines and loads it is up to code. What isn't up to code is that you basically have exposed wires with 220 running through them. (the wires between the timer plug and the outlets). Which is a hazard of sorts but no more than plugging in a welder or something. If your the paranoid type than wrap them in some wire comb or a bunch of duct tape to help protect them.
This set up saved me the cost of 4 220 timers at $18 each and 6 220 ballast cords at $20 each. So that's around $195. Plus I don't have to sync up 6 timers, only two.
I'll post a pic of the setup when I get back home.
