    reverse engineering my readiant heat flooring, few questions

    I live in Illinois and it gets from zero to the low 100s on occasion. I don't think the attic will ever get too cold given that heat rises and there is some insulation in the garage but I could be wrong. As far as heat, well that's an issue. I have a 20x20 wall mounted rack which I am handing...

    I bought one for a standard 4" box and the bolt spacing is much wider on that. It appears this box is the ceiling fan size with a much narrower bolt spacing. There was a single A19 fixture on this box and I want to extend the box to run conduit to it to feed a couple 4' LED fixtures on the...

    Running 220, have a question re: welder current draw

    After looking at the attached specs it appears that a 30A breaker would be acceptable. Am I interpreting this correct? Do I need additional overhead here? If that is the case I assume 10AWG would be acceptable but my question is, at what distance do I generate enough additional resistance to...
