    compressor wiring help

    Maybe someone would be tempted to if the compressor malfunctions in way that builds pressure beyond its normal operating range. I had to kill power to my dad's compressor for that reason. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Best way to cut existing drywall to add Romex?

    I worked at a restoration company for a awhile doing tear outs and rebuilding after sewer or water damage. We would often cut the drywall at either 2 or 4 feet from floor.

    Light Fixture Sources in Canada

    Where abouts in canada are you. Are you close enough to the USA border that you could have them shipped to usa and go pick them up? I use a ups store in detroit to have things shipped to and I go pick it up. It's $5 a box or $30 a skid. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Question about 240v air compressor.

    Ok the tag on the motor shows 110/220v I assumed it could be run on 110v but since all the wires are black I don't want to start taking it apart Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

    Question about 240v air compressor.

I'm looking over the electrical side and doesn't seem right to me. The current plug in cord has 2 orange 1 yellow wire. Yellow seems to be ground as its...
