Thanks everyone. Very simple circuit, once around inside of building, few drops, excess of junction boxes for future add-ons, RV shore power box close to main breaker box. I need to put it on paper next and start the buy list. I like the idea of PVC too. Especially since everything I am...

Duh...sometimes the obvious escapes me. Turn it over. Genius!

I'll check it out. Thanks!

40x40x16 metal shop building I built in 2009. STILL not wired, mainly due to quotes I received, each seeking to **** my retirement and fully fund theirs. So I guess I'll do it myself. Can you please point me to any how-to videos/links on how to run/bend/secure plastic conduit, and other...

Use it as my primary work surface, very little oil or grease, no tear-down, mostly clean reassembly...automotive, yard equipment, electrical. However, I would like it to be resistant to oil and grease, easy clean-up, probably not a metal like stainless due to the area and cost. Thinking...

Hey all. For thirty years I have had a work bench in my shop made from a solid oak door. Big thick one, HEAVY, one of two, a double door previously, entrance to a psych unit at a hospital...doors AND frame taken out by a massive guy on meth. As my wife ran the maintenance tool room at the...

Hey guys, I really appreciate your input! I'll confirm with the contractor that they only put a curing agent down. I was here when he was measuring the slab to cut it, but had to meet a client and was not here when his man was to apply it. Yes, I am planning on using a slip...

I like that plan! Can I run it backwards and start with #6?

Hello everyone, I've read this BB last night and most of the day. God help me, I have more questions now than before I started reading...all I was looking for was a good epoxy flooring product. Now, I'm not sure of anything. Your studied advice is truly appreciated. Okay, so far all that...

That color is called Pegasus Red and it got me more women during my college days, to whit: My dad was a maintenance supervisor in the Mobil refinery in Beaumont, TX for 34 years...it was one of the largest in the world until Exxon built their mega-refinery. The have a storage tank farm that...

?How long are the deisel engines good before overhaul when used on a genset? That was one suprise that I had with the Generac rep came to the house. The 20KW he quoted had to be rebuilt every 2000-2250 hours, generator AND motor. That sounded a little short on lifespan to me...do the deisels...

Been there, done that. In the end you will tire of getting up in the middle of the night to fill the gas tank, syphon gas, find gas, store gas, change the oil in the heat of the afternoon, etc. I priced and will install a Generac 20KW standby generator when the shop is finished. Installed...

Hello everyone... Ray here from Village Mills, TX. Don't ask where that is 'cause you can't get here from there...nor would you want to. Just found this forum, and just in time I might add. I just poured a 40x40 slab for my 16' metal building. They start building in two weeks. Stuck a...
