So... I've done this with a friend who moved in from the EU. He brought a 2L water kettle, Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine, and a Rancilio grinder. We wired up a 20A 240V outlet in his kitchen, and enjoyed espresso when we were done. http://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/CH/CH-T12_tripleSocket.jpg...

Forgot about the powered cables... yeah, maybe a simple end replacement won't work on a 50/75ft cable :(

there are plenty of repair kits online. Check amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H8U8U48/?tag=atomicindus08-20 The hard part is soldering small pins, in the correct order.

I'm having a kitchen sub installed and fear for the hell I am about to endure. under the 2014NEC California has adopted. I am not looking forward to nuisance tripping when I try to run any appliance. In the long run, I'd much rather have a branch AFCI/GFCI trip on me than the whole 100A...

uh huh.... like someone else said, put the cover on, it looks great! lol @ the greens

Those pictures reminded me of an old server I had installed in a rental house years ago. The crawlspace access panel in the office closet was a perfect 19" wide and I was able to "floor mount" my server to exhaust the hot air in to the crawlspace. :)

A nice plywood board works too. My place is under construction at the moment, but I plan on having, catv, cat6, alarm, etc landed to a central panel in the garage. I got a wall mount "vertical" 3u Rack, and used some unistrut brackets to mount it horizontal. This is my temp setup to provide...

I'm wiring my new place for cat6 / rg-6 in every room + eaves for future SAT and PoE IP cameras. All of the walls are open, so it's easy to include. I tried to reduce my power footprint as much as possible. My rack now has a 48 port poe+ switch, NVR, cable modem, "router" and a few...

You can find a decent quality APC netshelter rack in my area for ~$400 at most places that will sell the stuff. The problem is with a good quality rack, is you will pay quality prices. Most wire managers and PDUs that are direct fit for 19" racks are pretty pricey new. I recently picked up 4...

Not exactly. microSD cards have a relatively limited amount of write cycles, especially when considering 20Mbps video streams for HD feeds. Sure, it would be great as a local storage option when the network NVR is not online, but for 24x7x365, it's not the best option. Car dashcams start...

^^^ this If water is actively flowing out one end, or both, you have problems. Typical underground conduit will condense moisture in the air and collect water. This is why you want to use wiring for wet locations in any underground conduits.

One of my neighbors put one of these up. The floods are ON ALL NIGHT and facing the street. I am dis-liking that neighbor very quickly every time I go by.

I like this idea, a lot. I'm going to try this one once the rest of that wall's blocking is done. Thanks for the help guys!

Yeah, i probably meant surface mount in my previous posts,... sorry about that... I was thinking I want the back of the box to be flush with the siding. Yes, confusing, sorry. I'll leave the stub poking out until the electrician comes around, and I'll see if I can ask him how he would mount a...

I'm planning on dropping down out of the box. I can't keep in in the wall due to a hefty foundation wall.

Sure, and I'm trying to keep it looking neat. So If I could run the EMT in to the back of a small breaker box like a spa panel, then run pvc straight down underground... How do i get the emt in to the back of the breaker box if I'm trying to flush mount? best image I can find is something...

My main concern is weather proofing the external EMT. Any best practicies or standards on how to keep the EMT / box connection water tight?

I'm trying to figure the best way to prepare for this. I have 3/4 EMT ran from my garage through the sub floor / crawlspace and will be poking it out of the wall near the rear of the house in prep for installing a shed later. The walls are still being constructed, so I wanted to get the...

My driveway contractor did this for a NG line. He wrapped a thick foam pipe insulation around the NG line and poured the driveway / walkway. No cracks to be seen near this pipe, and it's a few years old.

Wow, the terminology gore in this thread is amazing. :lol_hitti
