Thanks Rob. Oh my. LOL. Maybe I'll have to put in a red pinstripe or something :headscrat .... I'm definitely not the corporate type. I guess I don't see PPG often, if ever. But maybe I just haven't been paying attention. Maybe they can use my picture and pay me some dividends? The color...

jwhcars - :)Thanks and... Exactly! 65EFI5.0- Thank you... well, you can tell I'm not in the industry. Very good. I'm not even sure of what PPG stands for- but I keep wanting to say Pittsburg Paints (G?) The blue is very equivalent to the bright blue masking tape.

I was worried after the first pic, but the one with your Jetta gave scale to it. Nice work and it looks great.

Great comments. Thanks Rob. 65EFI5.0 - Great first post.:beer: If I only knew to ask this question before- lol. It looks like this thread/question will be benefiting others as well and I think that's pretty cool. I know not everyone desires stripes in their garage, but I thought it would...

Right-on Fueler. Makes great and simple sense. That goes in the permanent memory folder. Thanks. 5wndwcpe - lol. Naw, I'm retired. It's just that I tend to get to "Point B" by taking a straight line in the opposite direction... por72911 - Exactly. I've got a little more to do and will go...

I guess my goal here is to invite criticism and give a little bit of what I think is advice when painting stripes on a wall. I planned this out pretty well, using a photograph, then modifying it on the computer with different colors, stripe configurations etc. Well, I was pretty satisfied with...

Ya, I'm kind of falling in love with the 212. But I do that with a lot of equipment- lol. We'll see about tubing the Jeep. It's possible though. Or should I say, it will be possible now.:beer:

Ha, I was thinking the same thing exactly:FIREdevil- lol. The shop here is now wired up for 40A. I haven't read or heard anything directly about the cheating/intermittent theory because this is a rather new development for me, but I've been thinking about it :shocking:, duty cycle in mind.

Going by a wire size/capacity/use chart, that is what I'm limited to. Increased resistance over the 'longer' distance will lower that figure also. I looked on the net for a decent photo, but couldn't find one. You may want to give it a search. I have a number of different home and Jeep...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the welders and 6-50 hook-up. I've been eye-balling the Miller 212 :drool: , but don't want to actually over extend the max. amps (40) Yesterday I talked with a local "reputable" electrician and he said no worries with the smaller neutral...

OK. Maybe I should do a little more research before asking this question, but what the heck. So I have 40A service to the sub panel and I'm interested in something like the Miller 180 or 212 welders. (I think I'm pushing my luck here but...?) The Miller plug looks like a NEMA 6-50 but I what...

Thanks for that suggestion. I pondered that earlier but didn't know for sure I could do that until looked at the unit again. *The wrapped neutral wire is a #10 :( so it looks like I'm back to square one. Maybe square two since I know what's going on now- haahhaha.

Well...- lol. It's good to have several pairs of eyes looking at this thing. It appears to be just as interesting as when I first posted it. I'm not in the garage, so I'm looking at the original photo. 1.) The neutral/white wire doe's appear to be smaller, but it also looks like it's wrapped...

Thanks a bunch. Everything I've seen/read here is making things clearer. I appreciate the help I got as PM's also. The wire sez - "8 Type THW OR MTW 600V E14656K UL" It didn't have CU marked on it, but it is. It should be good to go for a 40A / 240 circuit which boosts the welder...

Thanks volvo. I've been enjoying running around all the threads.

Thanks everyone for your comments and information, and for clearing that up. It just struck me as a strange arrangement because I hadn't seen it before. Again, I appreciate your help.

Hi. I'm in Salem Oregon- retired. We moved here recently from Albany and I get to "start fresh" working on an empty garage. Our old place isn't sold yet, so I'm keeping the garage stuff there until this one is ready for moving stuff in- which is kind of nice. Projects were coating the floor...

It's been a little while since I've done circuit breaker work so I picked up a home wiring book yesterday. After comparing pictures/notes I came to the conclusion I didn't understand what I was seeing from my own subpanel:headscrat . I have both ground and neutral wires going into one bus...

Nice office JohnZ. The floor here is Rust-oleum. It's just about a Navy-gray in color. I wish the garage was as bright as it appears in the photo, but it's not quite that bright. :eek: Once I move the tools, stuff, junk etc. over from the old house the garage will look a bit more normal-...

Thanks for the comments. I haven't really looked into putting in another stove, but you have a good point. I had kind of counted it out, but maybe it's time for a little research. The pic was taken in between floor coats and is grayer and not quite as slick as it appears here. I've been...
