Bessies!! That's it. I miss that place. I hope the eagle family is still doing well. Sometimes I would go down at daylight and watch the parents take care of their young with my binoculars. Spectacular birds. Sorry for the off topic guys.

Yep. Pipeline inspector. We ran a few supply lines into the cracker plant in Scio and some distribution lines out. I know the area where you are. We used to slip off to the marina on Tappan lake for lunch or maybe head into Cadiz for pizza. There is a small restaurant on the left just before you...

Ok, thanks very much for the help, schematic and link to what I need. So I am back to my original thinking. I need to pull new 4 conductor wire.

Ok, I looked up SEU and that is what it is. Here is a pic I found on the net and it looks exactly like this. It is run in a 2'' pvc conduit.

Thanks. It's hard to tell in the picture but the neutral wires and grounds wires are not touching anywhere but the bonding strap at the top of the box. I looked at them close to make sure.

My bad. Now that I think about it it is not bare aluminum. It is aluminum but what it is is two black hot conductors with an aluminum shield spiraled around the two with a thick heavy sheath around that. I was thinking about what it looked like hooked to the panel and not what it looked like...

Thanks for that info. I'm looking into when the building was built. I know it was built around that time and am trying to dig up the exact date.

I am quite sure there are both 240 and 120 circuits inside the shop and there are two hot conductors and 1 ground coming in. I will look into running another wire instead of replacing them all. Thanks.

To answer some questions. Yes the 3rd wire is bare. I will have to pull the cover to see what its hooked to. My bet is ground. Yes there is a ground rod at the pole. Yes there are 120 volt circuits inside the shop. I believe the wires are 2ga aluminum. Looks like my only option is to run new wires.

I am rewiring my shop. I have everything wired up in the new panel. My service comes from the transformer into a meter box on a pole about 75' from my shop. From there it goes into a panel with 3 breakers. A 100 amp breaker that runs to my shop, a 30 amp that is for a travel trailer hookup on...

I checked out your thread. The J trim looks really nice and is what I probably will end up doing. Very nice building you have there. Thanks for the help. BTW, I spent most of 2013 in your area working in Scio. Loved the area and super friendly folks.

Hmm.. this is something I might could make work. I do a lot of composting. This is a pile I made yesterday. It's waste hay, cow **** and a couple loads of wood chips. It' 60' long, 15 to 20' wide at the bottom and 6 to 8' high. I do this every year when I clean up after feeding my cows all...

After 20 or so years of my wife watching/helping me work on stuff in the cold, rain, mud, grass we finally got to the point I could afford a shop. So we had a 30x50x12 built. It's not completed on the inside yet but is fully useable. One day she comes down to our place and I'm out in about 40...

Great idea. Just what I was looking for. I am planning on running my air lines using the rapid air system and was already wondering how to make it look nice. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I considered the J and L trim but I wasn't sure how that would look on the straight edge sides. I plan on using the foam closures on the corrugated ends. Charles. I had considered just jamming the ends into the sheetrock but I was afraid when the metal...

We are finishing out the sheetrock in my shop and I'm fixing to order white metal to use on the ceiling. How do you trim out and seal the ends of the metal where it meets the sheetrock? Do they make a specific trim for this or am I going to have to make something. I tried searching but no luck.

I guess it depends on your location but those prices sound really high to me. I had a new well drilled about 3 years ago. 140' deep, upgrade pump from 1/2 to 3/4 hp. Tanks, pump, wiring, hole all in 3100 bucks. That even included about 60' of solid rock.

Our house is on a lot with a high water table. There is an old capped off well out by the fence. I can take the cap off and water will be right to the top most of the time. The only issue we have with it is algae grows on everything. The bricks on the house, the exterior shop walls,the garage...

That wrecker is sweet! Do you have any plans for maybe some hand lettering on the door? Maybe the name of your shop or something like that?

15 foot drop in 24 feet? That's over a 2 to 1 slope. You guys are dreaming if you think an amateur operator is going to work a skid steer on that.
