Not sure if this is the correct forums but its the closest i could find. below is a drawing for rebar and concrete work i need to do. i just wanted to see if someone could confirm I'm reading it right. holes is 18x43 rebar is #4 with the 4 top sections spaced 4" apart and the lower 2 at 12"...

So I'm slowly wrapping up wiring my shop and and was planning a small under sink electric WH. i ran the 6/3 for that as i had it on hand and would get the job done. while thinking about how i would need to connect this romex to the WH i realized that i may be able to reroute it to the space...

I'm beginning to wire my shop and need to get light in there before anything else. I was pretty set on getting those hexagon lights because of the brightness and the look. i also figured they'd get me good coverage because of the design but after reading posts here I'm reconsidering. the shop is...

Well sub panel should be signed off this week so now I'm going to pull the trigger on some roll up doors but had some questions. I found 2 places with similar prices. i think they might be the same place with different names honestly, its odd that when i selected "pick up" instead of shipping...

So last weekend i missed out on a BenkPak lift that i really wanted and was only $1600. this week I find this XPR-10AC. hardly used and would be my second choice when selecting a lift. got this and the compressor for $3k. now i just need to hurry it up with the electrical.

I thought it would be easier to just make another thread that only has information. so i currently have a 220' roll of MHF 2-2-4-6 which i was planning on using for my shop. discussing this in the other thread it looks like it might be an issue with the distance I'm trying to cover (198' panel...

So now that the shop is done I'd like to add sub panel and a couple of outlets. I was told, by damn near everyone here, to run MHF. I believe i read that this is good to 90A which is fine for what I'm doing. The issue now is that my architect has retired so he would not be able to do the...

Well after about 2 years of planning, city bs, changes, contractor troubles, its finally done....for now. we had to electrical in the plans so that's next. 34x37 with 16' ceiling and 14x14 doors. I spoke to my architect today and he told me he no longer does drawings as hes old and eyesight is...

So I noticed Costco sold 14/2 NM on big spools from a company called Spectra. never paid too much attention as I'm going to use 12/2 but now it looks like they might be selling that. My question is, has anyone used this? I'm not trying to cheap out, especially when it comes to fire safety, but...

So have a dual swinging gates with Liftmaster LA-400's. system is about 15 years old but works fine. just recently my exit loop went out and found out that the wires broke right where they come out of the concrete. its broken off flush so i can't even repair it. Its something i could probably...

So the framing is underway and I'm thinking I'd like to get the electrical permit going. I defiantly don't know where every single outlet will be at the moment but would like to at lease get the panel in and maybe a couple outlets that I do know. I spoke to my architect and he told me I'd have...

Well after 2 years of going back and forth with the architect and city we finally broke ground. Foundation and slab are done, lumber arrived today and framing should begin Monday. Trusses are on order, just need to sort out the siding and roofing. it will be 34x37 and will open into that shed...

Quick question for you guys. i'm deciding on roofing and siding at the moment and I was pretty set on 26ga figuring a little heavier material would be better until I contacted a local supplier. 1. the colors available depends on the gauge of the material i go with so in order to get the color i...

hi, i'm looking to buy a used 19' scissor lift and wanted to see if theres anyone here who can share their experience. mainly looking at Genie (gs-1932) or Skyjack (3219). i've been watching my local auction for a few months and prices are down a little bit right now, i'm assuming because time...

So i'm looking for a single room 18k mini split and see that there is a pretty significant price difference between units with higher/lower seer units. For example, an LG 22k 17 SEER2 is $1600 vs a LG 18k 24 SEER2 for $2800. I understand that the 18k would be more efficient but is it really...

I'm sure this question has been asked here before but I wasn't able to find any solid answers, or i'm not searching the correct terms. We're finally getting going on the shop build and they are in the process of setting forms. I would like to dig out a deeper pad for where I would be installing...

Hi all, so getting ready to start work on the new shop and had a question about the electrical and what size panel and wire to run. This is a home shop (36x40) and will, at min, have a 2 post lift. 240v compressor, Hobart 210, and your typical smaller tools such as bench grinder, drill press...

So after over 9 months of going back and fourth with the city, our shop plans are approved. Cant wait to get started but unfortunately the weather here right now *****. I'll get with my concrete guy and see when he wants to start and go from there. I'm also really considering doing the framing...

hi, this seemed like the most appropriate place for my questions. i just installed a outdoor kitchen on my deck and need to plumb gas to the BBQ and stove. I had a gas line run out under the deck when it was built. i now am going to Tee it off to each thing but i need to know if i need to...

hi, have a question for you guys more knowledgeable than I. i installed a energy monitor on my main panel about 2 years ago and since then i've noticed that 1 of my 2 condensing units is constantly drawing current. its only .3A on each leg but its 24/7/365. i used my amp clamp to see where it...
