Depending what size wire is coming off the meter base, i would be tempted to Up the current 70 amp to 100 amp, then tap off that for the new garage, and for the trouble, just go under ground, avoid the whole over head headaches. Peronally I would be tempted to say to hell with it, come off the...

Nice looking shop so far, now you asked for thoughts, and please remember, these are MY thoughts, 18 cct panel? kinda small , 32 should be the minimum for your electrical panel, you will add on, and can really split up the plugs, the price difference is not alot more (look at home despot...

Industrial site here as well, plastic tool boxes are the norm as there light and easy to carry, anyway the fun you can have with a 1/4 inch drill bit and a few cans of expanding foam just after quitting time so the foam can cure overnight, depending on if its a we like you prank, or buddy do us...

Another idea, buy them a nice sized fifth wheel, a little conduit to run power, an easy tap into sewer, they would be set, its not a building so no taxes, and if needed or wanted take it somewhere warm for the winter, gives them there own space but still close enough you can keep an eye on them...

Now that we have a part number, here ya are, 1.20 each, beats the 8 bucks from cableorganizer place. looking for bases but they say it fits a 1 inch square hole, any chance you could cut / punch the hole from a SS blank cover plate or other metal and use that for a mounting plate? either groved...

just happy to be able to help a member out and be able to contribute, they list the part number, so you could try your local wholesalers and get them to order them in, or who knows maybe pull from the shelves

just a guess but are these what your looking for?? http://cableorganizer.com/leviton/snap-in-receptacle/

personally, i usually work bare handed for the teeny stuff ( residential ), basic leather gloves for **** work, but when forced to wear gloves 100%, lately work has been giving us the Mechanix's ( SP ) and they are decent to work with, can do joints ok with them, only issue is there not the...

cheapest way, wire it up try a set of known good tubes, simple way, get a tester, but the price? well put a pound of sand into the lube, and bend over. the nasty tar thats leaking out, unless its really really old is likely not PCB, a look on the ballast will usually say does NOT contain PCB (...

cant add much here as I dont want to look it up right now, but if we can find a quick easy method i have the 2009 CEC codebook ( digital version ) sitting here, its just under 9 meg for a PDF of it. happy to shoot ya a copy as the 2012 wont be out for a few months then they get uppity about...

only answers I can give are tube tester ( huge cost ), install in fixture, and then my smart *** answer, put on wool socks, shuffle feet of **** carpet all while holding the tube, when you are sure to give the shock of a life time, have the pins of the lamp digging into your palm, and touch the...

have to agree, his employer should have had new tools delivered a few hours after it was discovered, but since you asked about tools ( i work mostly Industrial some comercial ) I use Klein screwdrivers, all 4 sizes robertson, small, med and large phillips, keep 2 flat blades, plus a terminating...

lots of good options and idea's here, another option ( 100 bucks ) you could use a contactor with a 120 v trigger, could use a standard light switch to power your compressor or add a light like others have done, so when you walk out of the garage you just hit the switch and its dead, could use a...

my bad, missed that, yea Federal Pioneer, not fed pacific ( dont think i have even seen that one yet ) but even the pioneer can load them up well past there ratings, just cant spike the power then they trip, but slowly loading with resister banks always fun.

LOL we joke at work we can weld off a 15 amp from FP, but they are in alot of houses up here in Canada, last 4 houses I lived in all had, and every friend or neighbour I have helped out has all had FP. they will trip when shorted, but there nice / evil feature if you keep loading them up slowly...

Just to add some fuel to the fire here, maybe i missed it if he posted his panel he has, but in my home I have the good old FP stab-loc panels and there laid out different then the Square D and others, and can use 2 different types of breakers, if you use the wide breakers they use 1,3,5,7 for a...

when I am doing a panel from scratch, what I will do is strip all outer insulation back to the connector, from there I start with usually the top of the panel ( or sides, or whatever depending how the wires enter the panel and how its mounted ) anyway I group all the grounds together and tie...

the ballasts should be fine, just make sure there dry, when they were hanging there the water would drip off them and unlikely any would get in. take a good look at the fixtures you may be able to convert them to 4 lamp models just by adding a second a ballast and ends, if so it opens alot of...

so far what I have read just makes me shake my head, the item was not packed properly and is thrown around ( family works for Canada Post and I have seen the sorting room toss ) and abused, of course loose wrenches are going to get lost, file the claim on this ***** and get your refund ASAP...

Hate to say it check the codes, not sure about the US, but here in canada, we can run flouresent lights ( there fixed loads cant unscrew and put a 500 watt in ) on a 20 amp breaker upto 100%, all other loads are 80% since they can flucuate. so read the ballast see what it lists as its amp draw...
