Will do Dave soon as I get a chance. We got snow Sunday night into Monday, my blower threw a rod. Putting on another motor now more snow tonight.

Not sure Mike, but it is buried. It has a gray colored jacket and is in 1" conduit at both ends. Ground is now frozen now so not digging it up till this spring. Kind of odd panel under the meter, is part of the meter. It has the 100amp breaker feeding the house with 2 120 legs either side of the...

Ok this is what I've found so far. Garage is fed from a 12/2 on a 30amp breaker, into a 20amp gfi outlet on the outside wall. It's in a weather proof box. That feeds 4, 15amp outlet inside. Plugged into the first 15amp outlet is 15amp power strip, which powers 4 led 4' lights. I've lived in this...

Thanks for the welcome. Sometimes best to hear what you don't want to hear. Because of the heads up with the issues in my garage, I've started tearing it all out. It's worse than I thought.

Thanks for the replies guys. Not what I wanted to hear, but I'm glad I asked.

Man did you just put a damper in my day lol. Yea your right.

Dang it. Now you got a point, about the gen. inlet. Didn't think about that. That's why the only dumb question is the one not asked. Always better to have another set of eyes. I'll have to rethink the interlock. The main breaker in this main panel is at the bottom of the box. Like the panel is...

The inlet box is used to hook my generator to the house. That is also how it was done when I moved here. No lockouts, or transfer switch. Have to shut off Main breaker at the meter, turn on breaker for the generator when power goes out, reverse when power back on. I know it's not ideal, it just...

Yes Mike, The lighting and 120 outlets in the garage are on a single pole 30amp breaker, at 120volts. That is how it was done when I moved here. There use to be a swimming pool on the property. PO took out the pool and ran that line into the garage. It is run off the box under the meter. The...

My garage is only 18'x20', more a shed than a garage. I have a single 120v, 30 amp breaker feeding power for lights and a couple of outlets. I've been given a Lincoln SP 170T mig welder. The original plug was cut off and replaced with a 250v 30amp twist lock plug. My question is can I run a 10/4...

Just getting started on this forum. Am now a retired, home schooled redneck, backyard mechanic. I know enough to keep all my fingers and toes, and have not blown anything up in 62 years. Hope the new year has started off good for everyone.
