    Flex conduit

    Loft build in metal building question

    Yea that’s not good. Then poles are 14 or 16 ga unless you upgraded to 12 ga. You have definitely weakened and made the steel uprights vulnerable.

    Exhaust fan motor temperature

    Is it normal for these exhaust fan motors to reach 159° after being on for about 2 hours? Was playing around with the IR thermometer and decided to check the temperature. Ambient temp is about 91° now.
