    hearing protection; unwanted advice for the younger set...

    I recently talked to my kids ENT about getting my son a set, he said they cost about $100.

    hearing protection; unwanted advice for the younger set...

    If you are in a loud environment on a daily or even more than occasional basis do yourself a favor and spend the $100 on custom made plugs. I shoot thousands and thousands of rounds of ammo a year and finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) on custom made plugs last fall. They make all the...

    Rogue Supply Work Benches

    It is Rogue, their fitness stuff is crazy pricey too. It is really really quality stuff but over kill for a whole lot of folks. I assume this is probably the same. way.

    Service Technicians ...errr vandals

    URD vs Conduit

    Talked to the electrician that is going to do the hook-up and we are good. I pulled a 4th wire with the URD through conduit. I went with 2" after the mention of gophers and how it would be easier to fix later once concrete is over it. Thanks everyone for the help, no way I could have tackled...

    URD vs Conduit

    As I previously mentioned, the URD was free, can I just pull a 4awg with it for my ground? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    Thanks Charles, that is why I was asking. I realize that there is usually some things you can fudge on and some things you absolutely can't. As I mentioned the URD is available for free so it is hard to pass up even if it requires another step or two.

    I am going to use conduit, decent chance that concrete gets poured over this at some point. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    Okay, if I am grounding the sub panel at the shop via grounding rod why the additional grounding wire? I don't doubt you just looking for clarification. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    So I would need a 1' length of SER just to go from the URD through the wall and into the panel? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    Is there any advantage to using conduit. I am looking to run 2-2-2 AL URD from my panel to my subpanel in my shop, the run is 100' and I will be installing a grounding rod next to the shop. I dug the trench 18" deep, there is no code where I live. Is there any advantage to using conduit...
