Just installed a new Ingersoll Rand 2340L5-V and it's got some serious vibrations. I anchored it to the floor with vibration pads and you can feel it through the 6" slab. I'm going to reach out to IR about it because I can see the mounting plate the pump sits on flex and the top of the pump...

I have GB70. I’ve only had one issue with it but I blame the funky electronics of the car I was jumping. I’ve used it on a wide variety of different vehicles. It’s jumped a 7.3 idi, Oliver 77, Ford 2110, a Cummins NHC250 (in a M939). The M939 is 24V and uses 2 sets of batteries in series. One...

yes, message me.

They are indeed trusses.

I don’t have time to reply to every specific question but heres more details. Any load that would be suspended, would be temporary. The whole purpose is to allow me to hoist an anvil up to either weigh it or move it from a dolly to my lift cart. Nothing would stay hanging more than a half hour...

Hello, i wanted to attach an eye bolt to the ceiling of my shop so I can lift things (Nothing more than 300lbs). The garage is 30x30 with block walls. The ceiling is sheathed in bc plywood and the roof is made up of 2’ OC trusses. I’ve read previous threads about how some argue its not safe at...

Lights have been installed. 3 x 5 grid of Lithonia IBE 15k lumen high bays. It sure is bright enough. I'm happy I had the electrician put each row on its own switch. The electrician did orient the lights perpendicular to the length of the building but it seems to be fine. I might rerun the...

I reached out to another electrician who asked what my budget was. I told them the only other quote I got was $26k. His response was "I did a 30x30 pole barn and I can tell you it was way above that.".

Our other barn built in 1906 with mostly 1970’s wiring is still working. And it’s got rats.

I’m still holding out that it was a mistake since they do most of my commercial work. My family has been doing business with them for longer than I’ve been alive. They are union so maybe that has something to do with it.

Their words were that they couldn't give me a firm bid without drawings, only a budget. It's either a mistake, a worst-case price, or an I don't want the job price. I think it's likely a mistake but I will find out.

The second bid (actually a budget for it) came in at $55k. I need to get the sealed plans to them for a proper quote. DESCRIPTION: - Providing electrical service, complete rough-in wiring, and finish-out electrical work of new barn. SERVICE AND SUB PANEL: - (1) 200a service to new barn...

$26k. Some of you were close. Thats the bid from one company. I’m going to get bids from 2 other companies.

Here are the specs we've come up with. We're having plans done to get permits right now. The plan is a 200amp panel at the rear corner and a 100amp sub panel at the front. All outlets are GFCI protected. 18k lumen floodlights at the front and back. Guess the quoted price. It's high due to 150'...
