We have to pump the concrete up for my slab. The pump cannot use 3/4” aggregate. I’m stupid on all things concrete so I thought I would post on here to get opinions. Everything that I have read is saying that 1/2” is “stronger” though not by much. Is that correct? Is there anything I need to...

Took a while to find the right guy to do the dirt work. Bout 3 days 2k. 40x40 pad used a compactor as he built it. I’m drilling 3’ holes for 6-8 concrete piers so the pad won’t move. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I live in the country/county in Oklahoma . Don’t have to pull a permit for any of the work where I live. I just want it to be done right and safe. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Yeah, it was pretty cool. So to your statement earlier about hooking up a disconnect to the second set of lugs. Does the 320 pan have two sets and would that work for my purposes? I’m just trying to get information so when I find the right electrician to do the work I don’t sound like a...

What I currently have The new 320A meter pan Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Ok so here is one of the main reasons why I felt the electrician was trying to hustle me. The PSO engineer plainly stated that the meter pan I have is a 200amp. However my service running to it is 320A. He said that I could come by and pick up a 320A meter pan for free. The electrician said he...

Trying to Learn here. Why and what’s the solution. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

Sorry had to get 5 posts in to post pics! Downstairs main panel Upstairs sub panel:

So I was probably mistaken about the size of upstairs sub panel. I do not believe it is tapped to the meter at all. It looks like it was fed from the 200amp breaker panel down stairs. I still need to pull the cover on the upstairs Serb panel to be sure. So here are some pics. But to what you...

That’s a good idea. Thnx for the tip on the review.

3000sqft home all electric. 2 3.5 ton ac units 2 floors. So yes my biggest concern is that middle of summer in OK both ac’s running wife cooking TVs and lights on. I’m out in the shop and fire up some **** and push 200. Second to load calculations. I get that if I was splitting off the...

Ok so here’s another question. the main breaker panel is 200 amp if I split off from there with a 100 amp it doesn’t matter what the service is. If I push 200 amps with the shop and the house I could have problems correct?

My house service is 320. I have two 200amp panels. 1 main and 1 sub upstairs. I need to feed a shop with 100 amps 250ft from the house. A electrician told me I couldn’t split off the meter can and feed the shop. Said I would need to add a 400 amp panel to feed the house and the shop...
