Just total ignorance on my part, except BGE simply said no/go (and as I noted originally, its about a house garage situation) - and your point is????

Okay, got the answer - its simple as spit and has nothing to do with pigtails, amp or breaker differentials, whatever. I called BGE and asked them - the immediate answer was because the residential code only allows 15 or 20 amp internal circuits; there is an exception for RV ports and generator...

sberry":..As for 30A 120v RV, this is followed with additional protection, usually a 15 and a 20A breaker, it does not get wired direct to outlets or other equipment but goes thru an additional panel." Suggest you contact BGE and tell them they don't know what they are doing. The 30amp circuit...

"You are an amateur using "a home brewed adapter on the circuit backwards", the electrician tells you this but because you do not understand you go looking for a way around it." Yes, I am an amateur and NO, I'm simply here asking for clarification, is that not what the Journal is for??? Re...

Hey Folks, I've got a 30 AMP 110/115/120V circuit (no clue what the actual voltage is) on the outside of my garage. I had it installed for my now sold RV. The circuit is covered by my backup generator. Note: I've often used a 30/15 pigtail for a leaf blower/hedge cutter/electric lawn mower etc...

Yep, you're dead on correct, but not a big issue for me. I've put together some handyman gift kits for my daughters, SIL, stepsons and am good to go. Anything decent left over will go to the high school shop class. Don't want to be bothered with Craig's List people or trying to sell stuff, not...

[I] Mainly because over the years I've lost the socket set, wrench set, drill bit set, etc. containers and just don't want to be bothered with organizing all of it. Figured I'd just buy a complete new set of tools w/containers and be done with it. Most jobs I do around the house take me more...

Hey Folks, Finally finishing up my garage project. I've got a ton of mismatched sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers, plier, drill bits, etc., etc. collected over the past 40 years. I'm going to dump my existing stuff and buy a complete set of new gear. Wanted to get your opinions about who makes...

Got it, many thanks guys!

Hey Folks, Got a dummy question for you before I call an electrician. I've a 30 amp socket from my RVing days on the outside center of my 2 car garage. It was handy as an RV port, but we're done with the RV and I don't think I need anything other than a 15 amp outdoor outlet for general...

Update: Got my properly sized replacement tiles from Armor Garage. They went down nicely and its looking pretty good. Armor included prepaid FedEx shipping for the return of the misfit tiles, so no ***** in that department. The Armor tiles are great for folks with really uneven floors (like...

Nope, can't go that route. I seriously tested RD on my floor (bought a sample order of 10 tiles and tried them out). While the tiles have some capability to deal with imperfections (bumps, etc.) they are not really flexible enough for my situation. I've already got serious money (for me)...

Yeah, I looked at RD and tested it out, definitely a good product. I choose Armor because its softer construction fit my uneven floor better.

Hey Folks, I bought Armor Diamond Garage Tiles last fall after reading a lot about them.(http://www.armorgarage.com/armortiles1.html). Just finishing off the garage redo now and got a problem. I got dark grey, light grey and black tiles - problem is - the black tiles are not the same size as...
