    My next problem is who has still 220 V in their home/residential property??? This is like saying I bought gas for $2.20 when I really bought it for $2.40! Put a Test metre on what you really are getting, and give me the facts. You should know longer have 220 V. You should be on a split phase...

    I guess I didn’t know it was a complicated question. I have a shop that’s only got 100 amp service for a while. I want to wire up a welder only dedicated 220 plug. I want to be able to safely run a Tig welder. I am looking at an Alpha AHP as I am just a hobby welder. I just want to make sure the...

    Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post. I’m a bit overwhelmed with your utter knowledge and raw science behind your answer. I’m asking because I don’t know a lot about 220 and wiring 220. Anytime I’ve welded with 220, I’ve just used the machine. What questions do I need to ask...

    I only have 100 amp service run to my shop. Long story short, I couldn’t put a pole in the ground and I couldn’t get approved for a disconnect. It is what it is. I don’t run mills and lathes out there while running 6 hair dryers at the same time. I have all LED lighting out there. I can put the...

    The concrete guy came out immediately upon my calling him. He's an hour away. He is paying for everything to be fixed. He said he uses a product T1000? Before I let him use his fix, I'm trying to get some more people out to get another opinion.

    You couldn't roll a floor jack with a car on it over the craters. Same for my boat tongue wheel. $10,000 is a lot to me, needs to look like a $10,000 slab. Or $12,000 whatever it was.

    It might work out here too. The spalling IS in all the low spots. So some super duper filler would level the low spots and I guess grind and polish it to match the texture of the good stuff. I'm trying to be positive about this $10k crash.

    It's very smooth, I posted Pics of the spalled area, not the good stuff.

    It's already in the low spot, and some spalling is 1/4" deep... Going to look like a taco if they grind that much off the center where it's damaged huh? Plus rock will show if it's ground correct? I don't want to look at ground rock. I've got a couple of "well known" concrete repair places...

    I didn't mind and don't mind the low spots. He got one spot very close for my scales. I have race cars and need to have a good flat spot. I've never seen a perfect pad. I did not want crown.
