    Help! School me on power tools

    If lug nuts are torqued down by an ape in a Mom&Pop local shop a 1/2" breaker bar _with_ an extension (cheater bar) will be necessary. Count on it. The advantage of the battery powered tools is in the ease of dis-assembly, re-assembly. And the time you invest in getting to "the problem". Sent...

    Help! School me on power tools

    I would start with HF and graduate to Milwaukee 18v if you prosper. (I currently have 20v DeWalts). Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Romex nail plates & exceeding code

    We did a 30x40 barn shop with plywood walls. So they were wavy, so what. Had I wanted flat I'd of spent ($$$) for 3/4 ply or tongue and groove shimmed out. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Will sulfur water damage a pressure washer?

    I doubt it would do immediate harm. That being said I drain the pump throughly and use the pump lubrication/cleaning fluid I found in HD or L's after use. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Multiple Breakers Flipping

    In my limited experience - for instance the house we are living in now - whether the POCO service line is aerial or buried the low numbered breakers begin at the physical top (left) and and labeled in order L, R and down. I have never seen it any other way. If you have, great. Sent from my...

    Multiple Breakers Flipping

    Huh! I zoomed in on the picture. That panel is installed upside down? Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Multiple Breakers Flipping

    Isn't it odd that the panel, as pictured, has a breaker in every slot and they're all the same physical size? Usual practice ( I've not look at a new-built house) around us, in Florida, is 2 main doubles at the top for HVAC, water heater, etc, then 20 amps and 15 amps for circuits. Sent from my...

    Water and electricity in one trench.

    We called to get a locate before putting up a run of field fence. Guy came out, traced 3 lines - telephone, tv cable, and power. He never mentioned personal versus public utilities. Ergo ask and keep mum. Sidebar: TV cable and Power were right where we expected them. Telephone (don't use it...

    Water and electricity in one trench.

    Thanks guys. To do the water and power out to the barn I will have to trench and the water line will come from the well house but power from the main house panel where there's a double breaker, disconnected, that fed an in-ground hot tube we are removing. Also the well is on its own 220 breaker...

    Miter Gauge ID

    Probably a Craftsman. If memory serves, one of the "higher" end saws. My 60s era 10" contractor saw did not come with a white arc or the yellow pointers. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Water and electricity in one trench.

    North central Florida, Marion county. I"ve had a shop building (tin shed) installed to replace one that was here when we moved in. And we had a small horse barn&tack room set up (also tin sheds) as well. Next effort, this spring is to put electric out to the barn and water as well. Previous home...
