    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    What did you use one the inside of your roll-up doors? Looks like bubble insulation. How is it attached? Does it make a difference? Lots of questions, but very interested to do the same to mine, but just don’t know about how to do it.

    Home surge protector

    Don’t know who hooked it up. Between the ISP’s bringing in cable or fiber and my new electrical underground service upgraded, somebody cut the wire somewhere along the way. I’m not going to fuss at anyone, just going to install 2new rods and if I get a new #4 bare to panel, i will do that also.

    Home surge protector

    I checked my #6 bare tonight. I was able to pull it out of the ground, it was not connected to ground rod. I’m going to start over with repairing the grounding In a couple of days. I’ll put in 2 rods, but I am open for suggestions.

    Home surge protector

    I have no telephone, only cell phones. Got rid of cable and am now on fiber, but I will check on the cable (ISP). I totally forgot about adding a grounding ring at the house. I worked with an electrician 20yrs ago and helped him install a few. He swears that they work, couldn't really...

    Home air conditioner sub panel

    The sub panel is 240v w/ground, no neutral and is mounted to the exterior brick wall of my home. I put a ground rod in yesterday, but I got thinking that was probably not necessary, since the panel is attached to the home. That is why I am asking here, is it necessary or not? Is it ok to...

    Home air conditioner sub panel

    I have two condensers I have a sub panel feeding them. The subpanel is mounted on the outside of my house at the condensers. I am getting new condensers installed but I have to move the subpanel to have the working clearance in front of it. I am moving it about 4’ to the right. I am just going...
