I have one of the old A/V carts. I use it for a car detailing station. So, I can just wheel it around to the side of the vehicle that I am working on. Works pretty awesome

It maybe "aught" or zero. It just sounded like "alt". So he probably meant 2/0. Jackson isn't that far. Its about an hr away. I just drove up there to get my windows the other day.

Im around the Memphis area. I am not for sure on how they would ever know if I had an electrician do it for me. I just know when I first started designing my garage, and I talked to the electrical inspector, he basically threatened me with a $1000 fine if he finds out that I pulled the permit as...

Yeah, I wish I could at this point, lol. But if I get caught using an electrician, it will be a big fine. They way it works here, is if the homeowner pulls the permit, only the homeowner and family can do the actually electricity work. Since I bought the new meter box, they pulled the permit...

That is about the only thing I know for sure, is that the wire has to be buried in conduit. I believe it is 18 inches down.

Shooon-- No offense, but you totally lost me on what you were saying. It may be because of the difference of Canadian measurements and US measurements. I am a full blown DIYer, and in this case, since I pulled the permit while buying the new box, I have to do the work, and can not have an...

Yeah, the conduit has to be a minimum of 3" I believe. I know it will be a lot of fun, lol. Now I just need to find a good place to buy it from.

So I need 3/0-3/0-3/0 & # 6 for ground? I do plan on running it in conduit, underground from the meter to the garage panel.

No, I haven't bought it yet. I have been looking at the different calculators that people have been posting. So, should I look at going 3/0-3/0-2/0, then 4 for ground? Or should I look at going up to 4/0-4/0-2/0. Is it against any code to use the mobile home feeder wire to go from the meter...

Yeah, I know it is total overkill for my garage. I am running normal stuff really. Through the wall PTAC, Air compressor, maybe a welder down the road, 8-4ft Led lights, ceiling fan, and regular outlets, and garage opener. Like I said, I will add the pool and spa power as well, but I have been...

The 200 is coming off of a meter panel that is for 400. So basically I have a 200 meter and panel on my house now. I am upgrading the meter panel to a 400, and then running the extra 200 out to garage. Since I bought the meter panel, I have to do all the wiring by myself. I have the interior...

I am running a 400 amp service on the house and splitting it to a 200 amp for garage. I spoke with local electricians on what size to run from house to garage. he stated 2-2 alt, 1-1 alt, and 4 for ground My big question is there anywhere online to order it from that would be cheaper than say HD...

As far as running the wire to your bedrooms, if you have phone jacks in them, open them up and look at them. Not for sure exactly when they started, but a lot of the phone companies run Cat 5 for phone line, and they only use 2 wires. Since we don't use a home phone, I just wired up Ethernet...

Yeah, pretty sure I am going to need a platform. I guess I have the wall space for it. I would rather not, but I also don't want the steps too steep to use alot

Looking for some help, figuring out my stairs. I have tried every calculator out there, and for some reason they are not working. I am trying to make stairs to my 2nd floor that has attic trusses. Here are my numbers. 2nd story floor to concrete-- 120" Stair header to interior of outside wall--...
