    Haven't been around here long enough to say for sure, but that's the first time I've seen a quarter pipe on GJ! Cool!

    mounting electric meter on metal building?

    My builder wrapped a mounting panel (ie, plywood) in metal to match my siding, then framed it in like a window and trimmed with J channel. Electrician strapped / bolted everything to it. Looks nice.

    4' fluorescent tubes vs. 4' led tubes?

    I don't like how LEDs cast a shadow. For body & paint work, I much prefer fluorescents.

    Right. My inspector here would never go for it. Subject to damage.

    Bored hole in stud distance question

    I think that's the best solution. I'm not drilling my 6x6's! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bored hole in stud distance question

    I guess part of my question is that I'm not running through any studs...I'm not running anywhere there should be screws...unless you completely miss the broad side of a 2x6....but I am running potentially closer to exterior siding than 1.25", so does the code about bored hole distance apply to...

    Bored hole in stud distance question

    Maybe I need to make sure the wires are up against the 6x6 so that the 2x6 maintains the 1.25" separation from exterior siding? Again, I'm not planning to bore holes in every post Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bored hole in stud distance question

    It is very clear to me based on resources I've read that romex wires that run through bored holes must be 1.25" from the edge of the wood (and if not, 1/16 steel plate cover) to prevent puncture from nail or screw. Typically, I see this distance measured from the open side of an unfinished...

    Light switch wiring for two lights

    Yes it failed, but for multiple BS reasons, not just this one. I can get to the others later... I think he's confused a) because I don't have two separate switches for the two lights b) I fed two lights from same switch box c) said something about backfeeding, which makes no sense The switch...

    Light switch wiring for two lights

    My light location is fine. His issue, while looking at rough wiring only, is he thought I was somehow backfeeding...but I'm not. The breaker side comes up to bottom of switch and then I just fed both lights off the top of the same switch using tail / yellow wirenuts. And it's a double gang...

    Light switch wiring for two lights

    Probably dumb question, but how I wired my two egress lights seems to be confusing the inspector... Per code, I have to have a light above both man doors of my pole building, both on opposite ends of each other in the building. The switch was somewhat centrally located, so I brought both...

    Eavestrough on pole barn question

    My builder talked me out of gutters due to snow / ice damage as it slides off metal roof. I know there are ways of preventing that, but sounded like a headache so I just put French drain with rock down around perimeter of building to catch water.

    Hairline crack weeks after lift anchor bolts

    I've installed my lift twice in two different garages whose concrete was nothing special and no cracks...the only thing that seems a little out of the ordinary is the 90 ft-lbs torque. I'm sure I didn't put that much on them. But I assume you got that spec from Rotary or something so who's to...

    2 post lift arrival/shipping pick up

    I remember my posts just being bolted to some angle iron and other stuff (like cables / hydraulics) being in a separate smaller box. I brought it home in my enclosed trailer after having them set it on my vehicle casters with a fork lift and kinda just rolling it up into my trailer.

    2 post lift installation next to expansion joint

    How about welding the feet of the posts to a larger plate that a) bridges you out past the joint and b) puts the anchors on both sides of joint. Some heavier duty lifts are made that way anyway. Anyway, to give you my experience, I've had my same hobby lift installed in two different garages...
