I will have to double check on the screw. Of course my panel doesn't accept tandems! I'm fine with another sub panel but that Def sounds like It won't be a "stop by for two hours" and mark up my next job by 20% kind of electrician trade. I asked my son how his apprenticeship is going and sounds...

Not sure if that's readable it's a seimans 4040l1200 panel

My son is currently in his first year electricians apprenticeship. If it was something easy I would see if he could pull it off. My wife is a GC and has a few electricians but I want to be able to describe what I need and what I'm working with so they can give me a quote or do trade with her for...

I have no idea. I might have just made it up. I thought my other ACs needed a 50 amp buy probably because they are bigger

I know it! I paid 2k and I dug the trench and bought all the materials! It looks like ****. I'm sure I am mixing stuff up.

Here is the mini split. I've never heard of this brand but I got it for free. I'm going to pay an electrician to put in the disconnect but I'm trying to figure out what I need first.

Pccustoms- I remember wanting to run the aluminum through the garage but couldn't because it's not rated for Indoors or something like that. I had to go pay for the expensive copper wire and for some reason it's against code to put it in conduit in the house. The service to my homes main panel...

Thanks here is my main panel in the house. I hired an electrician to do the service to the garage. I hope it isn't jacked up. I could either run the garage on the outside of the house in conduit, bust up my driveway and dig and then report, or run it through the inside of the garage. I know it...

Here is my meter. It is split here, 200 to the house, 90 to the garage. I couldn't bury the garage wire so I ran it inside the attached garage. It's easy to access in the garage. I just have it running along the wall. It then exits and I had to change it to aluminum underground wire. I...

Hi guys! I need your help. I need to run a new circuit for a mini split in my converted porch / sunroom. My problem is that every slot in my homes breaker panel is slap full. So this is my setup. Outside at the meter my service is split by 2 breakers. One 200 amp seevic powers my main home...

I am worried about the learning curve. But if I pick up a rig for 15k then sell it after the job even at a loss I would still be ahead I think.

It's low because that's what the sub is charging the GC. Also the multiple jobs of 20 cabins factors in too. If I hired a guy to do my garage I'm sure it would be 5 to 8k probably

Lol thanks for the education. The 4500bf is the amount I need to get it 3" deep. Subcontractor wants 3k a cabin. I have 20 to do so all together she will shell out 60k for all 20. A smaller Graco machine I think it's an ex-2 can be picked up for abput 6k to 15k used from what I can tell. Take...

My wife is a contractor and is building 20 cabins out in the woods. Owners want spray foam. Each cabin is about 4500 bf I believe at 3" thick. She has a deadline her spray foam installer can't meet so she is thinking of trying to knock out two of the cabins with kits and my free labor. I'm...

Thanks. That's why I got the smaller new gray cabinet. All the reviews said it was way better than the big red freestanding one. I'm happy with it so far. It blasts ok. I figured I should pipe it up correctly since I had tge air power. Looks like maybe down the road I might upgrade the gun but I...
