I know. The best part is that's what the electrician pulled before I bought the house, and that's what passed inspection. During my research for something cheaper I realized NM-B wasn't the right thing anyway. Gotta love how code enforcement is really a matter of interpretation.

Another thought- What if I add to my conduit so it makes it to both panels (not just to the buildings). Could I do 100A over individual AL conductors XLP/USE-2/RHH/RHW-2? 1-1-1-2?

I've just been steering away from AL due to the extra work it's going to take. My conduit doesn't go all the way from box to box just building to building so I'll have to do a j-box and transition to a different cable at both ends. I don't necessarily "need" the extra 10 amps, but I can see...

Thanks for the responses guys. Everything I'm finding says TC-ER is fine for this purpose. The cable I'm looking at is 3x #2s, 1x #6. Run is just over 100ft panel to panel. I see this as proper for 100A. Am I wrong? Price of the wire is steep but I havent found anything cheaper to...

I hope no one minds that I resurrect my old thread. This took a back burner for a little and now I'm getting ready to order cable and do this. Can I run this through the conduit underground to replace the 6/3 I have now? I know I'd need to drive a ground anode for the garage because one...

:bowdown: Thank You!!

Just as the title says, do you guys know of anyone making a low voltage/electrical box with 2 gang of electrical and 1 gang of LV? Plenty of 2 gang out there, can't find a 3 gang.

I like that. I wish mine was that clean. I'm rewiring and sheetrocking. Looks like a warzone.

I live in the woods, work weird unpredictable hours, and I utilize the 2nd amendment. Also: A solid door that stays locked, high quality cameras, lights everywhere, guests in the shop are few and far between leaving it's contents elusive.

I need something light and portable to drag around my house while I do all my trim work. My shop is detached so I don't want to run a line to it. Was hoping to keep it relatively cheap so I was looking at HF. I'd only use it for nail guns/staple guns, and occasionally blowing out...

I've had the same issue. My shop has 11' ceilings so I wanted to maximize height. I also want 8' tall steel racks, wasn't able to find anything affordable so I'll make wall shelves starting just above my 6' cabinets.

I really like the Seville Classics UltraHD cabinet. I have 1 and I'll be buying at least 2 more soon. I had them in the machine shop I set up at my old job. Great for the money. Used to be able to score them for around $199 at Sams if you're a member.
