Run the 220v….its worth it.

This is all very interesting. I’ve spent a lot of time over the years dealing with very large wildfires, but always in very rural areas. I’d never considered the loss of pressure due to leaks from burnt homes, etc.

It has been at least two days since the last thread discussing the obsolescence of air compressors. If you need one, you know you need one, and you can’t fathom not having one. If you don’t need one, you feel compelled to as others if you really need one.

Everybody's different for sure...but there are so many scenarios where an adjustable is as handy as pocket on a shirt.

I think somewhere between “none” and “all of them” is likely the right amount.

The idea that folks here, who typically have very well equipped boxes, have one or two…or even zero…adjustable wrenches is wild. I have a drawer that it nothing but adjustable and pipe wrenches. I have adjustables in every road and portable box. My main box has two adjustables each in sizes...

That would be cool if they weren’t in Canada. I was excited.

We have grid shutdowns for fire mitigation during wind events. That’s been a thing for a long time. That, in my opinion, is not remotely the same thing as giving the utility access to my personal thermostat or appliances at any point in time. There is not a scenario on earth where that would...

I have never heard of such a thing… and there’s no way in hell I’m giving the utility company the authority to dictate what my thermostat is set at, let alone shut it off at their discretion. That’s absolutely crazy.

Install a thermostat that allows the utility provider to set limits on functionality…or allows access in absolutely any way? Perhaps I read that wrong…

Why in the world would someone do this?
