    Bonding neutrals form two separate circuits?

    OP, I didn't read the replies but I'll say this: Go ahead and tie all bares together and route them back to the panel. For the whites/neutrals, treat them like they are hot and leave each paired with black all the way out and back to the box.....If it leaves the breaker box black n white, then...

    I dug 3-count em-3, huge new Yost 32C's out of a Navy dumpster 25 years ago..Gave two away and tripped over remaining one for 23 years until I finally mounted it and discovered it still sold new for almost $700. I'll post a pic in a minute of my last remaining big Yost dumpster vise....God, I...

    Damp Rising - Problem.

    RULE: If it's ever gonna be enclosed, then lay thick plastic vapor barrier before concrete is poured....If it's gonna remain an open walled covered slab, then fersure DON'T lay vapor barrier or it will sweat and stay soaking wet. Your only choice at this point is to attempt to provide plenty of...

    National Barn Co horrible service

    He wasn't happy.....That same piece of paper he intended to screw me with screwed him.....It stated he got X square feet of finished concrete for X bucks. And that's what we left him with. :) Been almost 20 years and some of my buddies still laff about it....I'm a whole lot less forgiving now...

    Free compressor

    OP, here's what you really need to do......Dig up the phone number for your local state boiler inspector's office...Tell them you got a ASME Section 8 pressure vessel you can tote to them for casual/courtesy remaining thickness inspection. They can quickly use their hand held utrasonic...

    Vehicle rotisserie deathtrap on CL

    I agree she is a death trap waiting to happen....I got this thang for brown haired/brown eyed gals with big butts....married three of them and somehow survived them all. Sure wish I'd thought of bolting them to a rotating frame and turned them azz up like he did :) I discovered too late they...

    Non-tube fluorescents for main garage lighting?

    Sorry, but I can't get behind you on this one. You got this 'real wood' look thang going yet you want a lighting solution that will somehow fit? If you want to retain the old world real wood look, then just screw a 60 watt bulb in a single center mounted socket and forget it. Hey, not trying...

    National Barn Co horrible service

    LOL, I remember when I'd retired out of the Navy and for awhile worked concrete placing slabs for houses, driveways and outbuildings......Offered my work super cheap and had more than I could do.....One guy agreed I'd excavate/form/pour n finish a 60X40 slab for his metal shop building at a set...

    Go ahead and pay them to avoid mechanics lien, then sue them in small claims court, PROVIDING you didn't sign a contract allowing them arbitration.....NEVER sign ANY contract allowing any form of arbitration.....NEVER EVER. If you lose in small claims, file again in district court but do your...

    Did I get good advice regarding my air system layout?

    It's called 'working'.....Heat it cherry red and let it cool and it's soft and easy to 'work', bend, flare or whatever........but once 'worked' and fully cooled it hardens and needs reheated/annealed again to survive 'working' it further....If instead, you further 'work' it, it becomes much...

    Garage Security "When a monitored system isn't enough"

    Harbor Freight sells a super inexpensive carbide tipped engraving tool...super cheap, and it works well. Etch your driver's license number into all expensive stuff you own-just do it.

    Did I get good advice regarding my air system layout?

    Hell, just guessing, I'd say 'tank' screw sets shut off pressure. Properly soldered copper plumbing pipe can handle well over 300 PSI all day long...just make sure to isolate it from compressor vibrations via flex hose even if it's only a 6" long hose....Copper is the perfect air line material...
