In the not-too-distant future we would like to add a/c to our house. As we currently have a gas furnace I am assuming we will need to add a larger circuit to handle the additional load of ac/heat pump. Our current panel has no open slots for new breakers and has quite a few peanut breakers...

Got this from a buddy who was moving. It was in a tool room of an outbuilding at the cabin he was living in. Anyone have any information on this?

My FIL gave me a couple pieces of formica that I am going to use on my workbench tops. Last time I did this I borrowed a router from my brother, this time I plan on just buying something. I recently saw one in my HF email, Hercules I think, for $109. I dont want to break the bank, and I dont...

I am going to install a 240 outlet in my shop. I don't currently have a need but am going to install one. I do have a dual voltage air compressor that is doing just fine on 120. My small mig is 120. What are the recommendations as far as amperage and outlet type. There seems to be many to choose...

I will be adding a small, under sink water heater in the shop. I am looking at a 2.5 gallon Bosch that plugs into a 120 outlet. My question is can I run 12ga romex in emt conduit? I am out of thhn but have plenty of 12ga romex. The plan is to run the romex only in conduit from panel to attic and...

I am looking at installing a point of use hot water heater in my shop. The instant water heaters require 30 amp+ circuit and I don't want to go thru the hassle/expense of doing this. I am thinking of running conduit from my surface mounted led light down to the sink for the 120v, 1440 watt, 12...

I have a Craftsman 92116474 27 gallon vertical air compressor that can be wired 115v or 230v. All of my 120v outlets are 20 amp. Should I convert compressor to 230v? What is the benefit? The drawback being I can currently plug this in anywhere vs my one 240v outlet. Speaking of 240v outlet...

I am looking into 2 different options for heating my 28x32x10 shop. I am located near Seattle so temps are not too extreme. One option is a King Heater https://king-electric.com/product/model-kbp/ $299 from Lowes. The other is a Direct Comfort DC-MBR1200AA-1 from Alpine Home Air, this is...

I am looking to heat my new shop in the Seattle area - not terribly cold in winter and no need for a/c in summer. Shop is 32x28x10 pole building by Spane w/ the insulation they use for metal siding. Comp roof so I am on my own there. Plywood walls and ceiling w/ no insulation in attic space as...

I was told the other day I can put romex in conduit for up to 5'. Is this true? I live in Wa, NEC 2017. Also, how close can I put a 40 amp outlet to my shop panel? Thanks

I have my trencher reserved for this Saturday for my ditch. What are the opinions on direct bury vs conduit? 100 amp service to shop, approx. 225' from house panel to shop. If you dirt has a lot of rocks then conduit but the holes for the building poles were very clean sandy clay type soil. 24"...

This project started back in November 2017 when I called for quotes from a couple of local pole building contractors. I chose Spane from Mt Vernon even though they were a bit more than the other guy from Lynnwood, Wa. The salesman from Lynnwood was less than helpful. After some dealings with my...

I am about to start on a 32x28x10 pole building shop. I plan on plywood walls and ceiling painted white. Shop will be used for motorcycle and car work. Is there a complete fixture available or is it best/most economical to buy tubes and fixtures separately?

Hope to be starting on a 28-36 x 28 x 10 (?) pole building in the near future (waiting on HOA approval). Looking at using Permabilt for the build. Any feedback on them would be great. Will be using the shop for car and motorcycle builds. Have seen some great information on here.
