    Hardhat Headlamp recommendations

    I use the Milwaukee. It is rechargeable and the battery can be charged outside of the light if you get the holder. That way you can swap a fresh battery in. Also, that battery is used in many other items. Too bad they don’t really market that feature. The headlamp likes to pop off the...

    Flexible Conduit ground?

    Is this a wet location? What size breaker and what size FMC. I don’t have the 2014 NEC but whoever does may need those questions answered. For 2020 NEC, can’t be a wet location, 20 amp or smaller circuit, 1 1/4 or smaller, and you can use it for a grounding conductor if total FMC is under 6...

    Conduit Size

    I agree with this. That is why I like capstans. The OP should look into at least a pulley system. I have pulled more wire than I care to admit. For the bigger stuff, we always use a pulling basket, a swivel, and bull line. Never once had a problem. For the smaller stuff, a rolling hitch, a...

    Conduit Size

    I like the way you work :thumbup: Funny how it seems to always go smoothly when a lot of knowledge and a little foresight are involved. If it is in the ground (direct-bury, pvc, concrete, Tesla tunnel, ninja turtle’s home), I will only use copper. For me- aluminum only goes above ground...

    3 phase power to new house - not sure what I have

    Exactly. When the ends are made up, the concentric neutrals are connected usually connected to the bracket that is holding them up. The brackets I am familiar with- we call fan brackets. That bracket is grounded to the pole ground that travels down the pole and is joined in to a ground rod...

    Stripping wax of your vehicle..

    You obviously take care of your stuff. Don’t use carb cleaner or any thing else. As a a former detailer- I would 3M adhesive remover with a clean microfiber towel after a thorough wash and clay mitt session.

    Exposing buried line without damage?

    Yup. This is spot on. If you are not comfortable doing it, maybe a friend or neighbor has experience exposing utilities. It isn’t rocket science but there is a technique to it. Really depends on the soil and if the utility put sand on top on the gas line. No guarantee there is sand on top...

    3 phase power to new house - not sure what I have

    Sorry- I thought all the pics were the original poster. I am on a small phone and it is rather tricky to read the screen names. So yeah disregard like 80% of my post:lol_hitti It is hard to see if the 3 aerial transformers feed anything on my tiny screen. You have a nice set-up. So I take...
