Well, yes those limitations are for ethernet of course.. Sort of a given based on our current conversation.. 100/1000base t sort of eliminates anything other than ethernet from my explanation.. This post edited by the NSA

If you are referring to the typical 1000' pull box or spool, they aren't intended to be used in a single length. It is just a bulk method of buying cable. Depending on the application, bandwidth used, installation, etc it is possible to get runs over 100m to function. You won't be able to...

It definitely depends on the connector and cable you are terminating.. Nothing more fun than terminating plenum shielded cat6 with RJ connectors! I've found over the years that my favorite connectors are the Graybar smoked #2224 connectors. They do also make the type that have a sort of...

Yes, I should have phrased my question more specifically ; when I asked "what was feeding it", I meant the downstream breaker. This post edited by the NSA

Yeah, solid for punch down blocks (110). Stranded is used for patch cables because, among other things, it is more flexible than solid. Ideally an installation would be : Device--->patch cable-->block-->solid cable-->block-->patch cable-->device...

What size wire is that? And what is feeding it? That wire seems undersized for 100A.

Kevin is correct and I also noticed that my picture cut out the view of the bar itself; make sure you trim the inside tabs, not the outside ones...

I think this has been mentioned a couple of times, but pictures help; Just trim as indicated on both sides with a Dremel, file, hacksaw whatever.. Should give just enough room.

Looks good. I like the idea of removable ramps... Glad to hear everything worked out this winter!

Cool, thanks!

Very cool! If it were me, I'd use LED for low power consumption and heat.. Should be able to find something that works for you... https://www.superbrightleds.com

Good point, I do use quite a few of their cordless tools including grinders, several different sized SDS drills, hole hogs, and circular saws.. I've not had an issue with any one of them.. I think I use the cordless stuff so much, it is the first thing that comes to mind.. This post...

So shopping around is being a PITA? That makes no sense at all. You're crazy if you think soliciting a price from only one contractor for a job like this makes any sense, fiscal or otherwise. If we were talking about installing a sink, yeah probably not worth shopping around, but a building?

I would just tie off the top off the ladder, which is generally a good idea anyways with an extension ladder. I was up working on a flat roof a couple years ago and one of my guys didn't tie it off (I know, I should have double checked) and the wind blew it over.. We were real lucky it...

Hmm, that's a great idea.. I have to bring in several boxes of glues and other things that shouldn't freeze inside every winter. So far it hasn't been an issue, but I should probably be doing the same with all my batteries.. Do you have any links where you picked up the items? I could...

That's not common though. I travel with mine all the time just tossed in a Pelican case with no issues..

At home and at work we pretty much use dewalt exclusively with no real issues; both new 20 volt and old 18 v stuff. As mentioned they do sell some low grade versions for cheap at HD and loews, I wouldn't bother with it for anything more than occasional home use.

If it is reliable enough, and it works for you now, I guess there is no reason to mess around with it anymore.. Unless you need a hardwired port for something that doesn't have wifi, then you will need to put in the link. If you don't need any hardwired ports and the wifi seems flaky...

If I am not mistaken, typical solder used for plumbing has a melting point around 360 degrees... I would braze the connections instead.
