    feeder entry height above ground

    Fair enough. But I think we can agree that there are a lot more factors in the pull than just whether one is using a rope? I wasn't saying that it can't and won't happen, or that mule tape isn't better. The rope just works well for me and what I have available for a puller.

    feeder entry height above ground

    Same way you know that they didn't when you used mule tape. The standard practice here for underground residential services is to use type USE "triplex" or "urd" (both local slangs). Which is direct burial rated, and also sunlight rated. So if, in fact, a 90 "got burned", it really doesn't...

    Addition Estimate

    I wouldn't "share" the new roofline with the existing. Let the new one run parallel a foot higher or lower, so you don't have to marry the roofing. 1. It will save some money. 2. The break in lines will look better. As far as cost, your location means a lot. Here in MA, you'd be $20 -...

    feeder entry height above ground

    I've been pulling through pvc for 20 years with round rope and my Maxis puller. Never had a problem. Not arguing the mule tape point. But the puller doesn't grip the mule tape as it does the pulling rope. And I have a very old Greenlee puller that was designed for pulling rope.

    Grounding

    The rebar must be encased by at least 2 inches of concrete and within the portion of foundation or footing in direct contact with the earth. NEC 250.52 Also the term CEE (Concrete Enclosed Electrode) is what is being discussed. I know it has often been referred to as a ufer ground.

    Heater for 26 x 34

    I have a 28 x 24 with 15' ceilings, 18x10 door and 9x8 door. I also have the Modine HotDawg and it is amazing. R19 walls and R30 ceiling. Heats super fast. Install was a breeze as well. I think mine is only a 45,000 BTU. (I'll check) The 60K will do the trick nicely. I wouldn't use...

    Rough Plumbing a Bathroom: What do you wish you knew before you started?

    I'd hire a plumber based on the questions being asked. I've done my share of plumbing and layout. But it's not easy if you've never done it. Sure cutting, gluing, soldering etc are not difficult. It's seeing the whole picture, and venting, draining, cleanouts, etc. Along with the legality...

    Does anyone make a trim ring to cover up a hole cut too big in a ceiling?

    Maybe try a trim ring from a 4" recessed light trim. The kind that has a separate baffle and trim ring.

    Knockout Capacity

    Everyone here is spot on. Plus I highly doubt you will get a third NM cable in one of those without damaging it.
