You sir, need a wood chipper. You're throwing away good compost/mulch.

Rack mounted servers and networking equipment.

Disagree, a full rack of enterprise grade servers will outweigh just about any collection of tools you would ever want to put in one of those.

What kind of paint? Oil based? Latex? Water Based?

Ah, I don' have any x-bracing inbetween the joists, that does change things. The oval pipe is more efficient than rectangular from what my research indicates which is why I mentioned it. How tall is the ceiling? I assume a drop ceiling isn't an option. I've been thinking about using sound...

Is there any reason you can't fit round or oval duct in there instead of the rectangular duct? I've got almost an identical basement situation, wiring all over the place. Luckily my sewer line stays along he right side wall so I can box it in when the time comes. I'm looking at replacing the...

I believe its orange romex, so ten gauge. What do you all use up in Chicago?

I think I have a spare breaker that will fit the bill but if not I'll pick one up tomorrow. The only thing I see upstream of the box is the meter but I could be missing something as I don't know what I'm looking for. I see three shielded wires and one bare wire coming in from outside. Does that...

Good point, the draping wires will be cleaned up no matter what. I was more concerned if there was any potential for bad things to happen with the interior of the box that way.

Mismatched breaker? You mean the top one on the left side? I just noticed that now. Another gift from the PO I guess. A lot of the wire is draping up to 2 feet from the ceiling. The wire path is exposed until it goes up into the ceiling and enters the main house. Wire length is one reason I...

The PO left the panel for the house/garage in a bit of a mess. This is the only panel for the house with the mains coming in from the right of the box. I started by putting in a plywood panel above the mess and started anchoring the wires down however I'm worried that I may not be thinking...

Didn't work on the 72 Super Beetle today, but finally finished up the custom rip fence job on my $50 table saw. And this is why we don't try to make zero clearance inserts out of sheet metal. Yes in retrospect it was a dumb idea but I tried it anyways.

Thats another idea, leave it alone. I was planning on framing in walls so it will be hidden no matter what, Just didn't know if that was okay or not. Its flush up to the block on the other two walls.

Yeah the electrical is pretty bad. Pulling the plastic down was the first step in getting that fixed. Thats probably what I'll end up doing, Cut a little bit and get a better idea of what I'm looking at. My assumption is that this joint runs the entire length of the wall as the plastic...

That is possible however I've seen no evidence to support that theory. Like someplace for it to drain out. The house is built into a hill and that side faces the upward slope and has dirt against that wall. Its also level with the pad outside the garage so if the drainage pipe were to have an...
