    One of our doors (purchased independently of our builder) was delivered and installed. Now waiting for the other 3 roll up doors and concrete drive.

    Great progress! May your doors not take as long as mine are taking; still waiting since April. I heard if you choose white you don’t have to wait…

    Thanks! I bought the wire from Lowe’s 4/0-4/0-4/0-2/0 Aluminum Mobile Home Feeder Service Entrance Cable (By-the-Foot) Item #: 70262|Model #: 28714401 And I installed it in 2” conduit. Don’t forget the cable lube! It pulls easy through the the straights but add bends and the lube is needed.

    This is a mock-up of the install. I plan add some quickcrete as a footer for the post but waiting to see if Hurricane Ida is going to bring us some rain.

    Yeah I was too. I liked the specs and light distribution on the CPHB

    Ok that's what I thought. Does anyone know the best way to secure the riser portion to the building? By the way, I wish this board had a sub forum of piping/plumbing for water, air, etc.

    I guess I’m not understanding where the extra 6-10 inches would go. Are you meaning having 6-10 inches of galvanized pipe on the horizontal section before the 90 degree elbow? Please explain. Thanks

    This is what I may do in the future. At the moment we run a few gas appliances so the 200 Amp service we have should allow me to add a double 100 amp breaker to the existing house panel. If we ever need to get more than 100 amps, the setup will allow a double lug to be installed and reconnect to...

    My house service meter is mounted on my house. The newer homes are ours here have a pedestal with meter at the front property line near the service (road). My options from MidSouth were either a new meter service or a new double lug meter on my house with larger gauge wire ran from the...

    MidSouth can put a double lug meter at your place unless you want a second meter for separate billing/tax reasons.

    The color combo I went with is charcoal grey for the siding skin, black for all doors and trim/gutters. The roof is galvalume, as I understand it to be the most durable finish (and I can’t see it enough to have the color contrast bother me.) waiting is the hardest part. Once my slab went in, I...

    Yeah I’m not sure when this will catch up. My builder finally returned my call and said my doors are ready to be installed. But he said they are not painted black as I ordered and will have a crew come out and airless spray DTM paint them black. I am on the fence with on-site painting vs...
