Hey guys does anyone have a coupon for the black 4 drawer roll cart at hf? Looking to pick one up this evening

Drill a hole, then use a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade....easy as pie...or just use tin snips

Dutchtown? Where is that? I'm from Lake Charles..

Larry this is my exact thinking...I've met plenty of electricians and I have yet to meet one that seems "gifted" (i'm sure they are out there but where I'm from there is much larger jobs than pole barns). I'm a collision tech by trade and have done extensive auto wiring in the past (harnesses...

Hey guys I'm looking for some basic knowledge on circuits to wire my pole barn. I had planned on buying a book to get started but figured I would ask here first. Are there any references/diagrams online? I have electrician friends that have been dragging their feet on coming to do the job so I'd...

Ok so I can save a good bit of money using 14/2 for my t8's. I haven't made it to that stage of my build yet...I tend to do my research last minute, Plus I'll have help from an electrician haha

Guys, I know I can just google this stuff, but what is 14/2 good for? I figured I'd be looking at a spool of 12/2 to wire my shop....Gonna put a bunch of 110 outlets, run a bunch of t8s and then 2-3 220v outlets for welding machine or compressor if needed.

I need one bad all these miscellaneous items are either in the bed or backseat of my truck and its killing me lol
