Sorry, like I said, I missed part of the conversation... (couldn't take it:drool:) What I was trying to say (albeit poorly) was that the electrical service was NOT grounded in the livestock buildings (such as shed and shelters and some of the older barns that had less electrical equipment)...

I haven't read every bit of this thread, but I did see a reference to "code exclusions for livestock structures". Are you talking about grounding and bonding? If you are, I can tell you that the preferred method of doing so is NOT on the livestock structure. Milk cows in particular are very...

No. A 220V plug should be used in place of the 120V plug when changing voltages. Why? Because: *Imagine having a 120V outlet wired up for 220V... someone comes along and needs an outlet, plugs their 120V device in and...:wtf: *Undervolting a 220V motor by putting 120V to it is likely to...

Years ago I did work for an old guy who actually paid me partially in estwing hammers, God's honest truth. I still have a couple of them in storage, I think I got seven or eight hammers from him off different jobs (He worked as the General Contractor on some big dam and powerhouse projects, he...

They work quite well, but to be honest, I prefer the softer grip of the dip-type materials, just a personal preference (my hands have gotten a bit weaker over the years and I find the soft handle coating grip my hand or glove better, helping me relax my hand more).

I worked for a guy named Art. He was a ****. Since then I haven't really had much use for art... but I do like your screwdrivers.

Just keep in mind, in a residence: #14 AWG for 15A #12 AWG for 20A #10 AWG for 30A

Don't worry about watts, just concentrate on amps, that's what everything is sized for.

No, it's not a ground wire, it's an equipment bonding jumper.:thumbup: The grounded conductor (neutral) in the sub is electrically isolated from the grounding conductors, what that means is that the main bonding jumper (or screw that is included with the panel) is not installed at the subpanel...

#12 wire is good for 20A in a residence. 20A outlets were designed for high amp draw devices so that people wouldn't plug them into smaller circuits, causing nuisance tripping and generally being a pain in the ****. You can change the breaker to 20A IF the wire is #12 all the way through to...

I found a nearly new Toro self propelled mulching mower on the local freecycle site. The previous owners dog had chewed the end of the spark plug wire and the starter cord off. He tried to fix it with duct tape, didn't get it done, so he gave it away to get a new one. The new plug wire end...

Be they "Lucas" links perhaps?

Like was already said, it's a Speedaire. I have one in storage waiting for me to get a place for it to live here, I put a 4HP 220V Dayton motor on mine, it's a good little machine. I believe the tank is a 40 gallon. This is the only picture I have of it, we were getting ready to move at the...

I'm 41 and staring down the barrel at having a big chunk of me cut off here pretty soon... and all I can think about is what kind of cool *** leg I can build in my garage to scare the kiddles with! My gramps is 81, he still gets his *** out of bed everyday before the sun has even hit the other...

One post wonder doesn't like the engine... so what? We've got a guy posting on here that's building freakin' racing engines out of these... so I'm thinking, who do I listen to: 1)the guy who's on here and posts actual, factual tech infomation or, 2)a one post wonder who posts speculation and...

I had one... lost half the bits in less than six months... it was neat while it worked, just not real toolbelt friendly.

Are they actual 8' bulb fixtures? Most of the newer 8' T8 fixtures I've seen are actual a pair of joined 4' fixtures.

Your chart is a bit misleading about the T-8's, as your initial cost figure adds the fixture into the mix. Older fixtures can be had for next to nothing, reducing your cost to ballast replacement and bulb purchase... EDIT: ****, I misread the table, sorry about that. Still, the fixtures can...

I put a wanted ad on freecycle, got a trailer within two days. Cleaned it up, greased the bearings, rebuilt the racks, new lights, had about $60 in it total. Sold it before I moved for $400... just some food for thought.

I don't like any three legged engine stands, they wait for you to slip up so they can go turtle. Harbor Freight tools? You get what you pay for. I personally love HF, I get all kinds of consumables there, and at $19 I can consider a 4 1/2" grinder a consumable! Their impact sockets are...
