I have a very similar setup to you in Southern Cali. We have a full bathroom and a "Kitchenette" setup. I installed a 13kw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001LZRF9M/?tag=atomicindus08-20 heater. With an inlet tempature of 60F during winter, this still runs a shower around 2.5 gpm hotter than I can...

I use an old crappy pullover sweatshirt (the kind that are like $5 on clearance). I cut the neck out big (like cutoff jeans style) so it goes on easy and can pull over my helmet easy. Its cotton so it stops the molten balls of metal well (for me) and prevents sunburn. My t-shirt comes up high...

I use these on my garden hose for quick disconnects much more "glove" friendly https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AB5S9TI/?tag=atomicindus08-20 and obviously the mate to the above

Me and my buddy did a 10x12 with the harbor freight mixer (1 90 lb bag at a time) took 60 bags, did it in ~ 3 hours moving from left to right. Then about 2-3 hours of finishing. You only work 50% of the time finishing. Hardest part is finishing it having low experience, and wrong tools...

I used this one Its rated for something like 15a 120v and 1 hp at 240v but its only controlling the coil portion, which is basically nothing http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LBHB2IA/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I drilled a hole in the mag starter box, (there was a lot of extra room in mine) and rigged...

I use a 12 hour dial timer. I Installed it into the mag starter box (by drilling a 3/8 hole) and wired it in line with the pressure switch. When I go into the shop I turn the knob to the amount of time I think I will be working (say 3 hours) and forget about it. No need to "worry" about...

Buy the yellow PE gas pipe. Its bendy so you dont need fittings unless a bend needs to be <2 ft radius. Home Depot/Lowes does not sell it you need to go to a plumbing supply store. You utilize "stab" connectors made specifically for this purpose they are not cheap buy generally you only...

If you are worried about too much current you can just have the switch drive a 120v relay. Then you are not limited to amperage.

For Audits. 1. Do not respond to anything more than the question given. For instance, how to you handle re-work. Don't get into how you handle returns. Its the loose lips sink ships type of thing. 2. On a procedure. If you don't know the answer, say I don't know the answer, I need to refer...

I bought this black and decker drill for $40 bucks about 10 years ago. Its done 3 tile jobs, and about all I use it for. This is the "new" model of the same thing. It has plenty of power, and is stronger than your wrists. (Usually I need someone to hold the bucket)...

Not Wrong... Straight from Alumiconn's Spec sheet http://www.kinginnovation.com/pics/db/docs/59-5010046AWAlumiConnREVM.pdf "AlumiConn is suitable for multiple types of connections including: - Aluminum to Aluminum - Aluminum to Copper - Copper to Copper" Purple Wirenuts = NO AL to AL, yes to...

Good point on the purple wirenuts. I know the alumiconn connectors are rated for AL - AL connectors. That, or a split bolt (which I believe are also AL rated) is probably the only code compliant method.

For inspection, aluminiconn the ground wires, or use the purple wirenuts. Those are the only things that will pass. I would not hesitate to use a wirenut on the grounds, as those connections do not heat up and down/get loose as they are not "used" in the normal operation. The slow creep of...

I bought the harbor freight torque screwdriver, which they now do not sell anymore. The alumiconn also has the "no torque screwdriver" method, which is something like 1/2 turn past initial contact. Its in the instrucitons. My "tools" of choice for these are 1 good pair of wire strippers, 1...

Spend the money on the purple Alumiconn connectors. It ends up being about $5 per outlet. When I did mine, I did it for hot and neutral, I did not alumiconn on the ground wires primarily due to box space issues. For ground, which is not "used" I usually use a wirenut w/ compound to copper for...

I have mine on casters its probably stated to be bolted to the floor so it does not fall on anybody when putting your 4ft pipe in the jack and going to town.

I transition from PVC to galvanized underground about 2 ft before the spout horizontally, 24 inches of galvanized, then an ell, then 2-3ft of galvanized going up. This allows it to have strength and due to the 2ft horizontal run, puts very little load on the PVC. (No Freezing in Cali)

I would think that it would be better to strap the tires to the lift than chaining the body. The springs and shocks would help absorb the earthquake movement and therefore reduce the amount of stress transferred to the lift. This is not like a trailer you are trying to not have 2 dynamic...

Currently I have a 3 Car Attached Garage, I stole the dryer outlet circuit 5+ years ago and added a 30 amp sub panel, 4x20x120v amp circuits for lights, tools etc, and 1x30Ax240V dual breaker for my welder or plasma cutter or air compressor. Entire garage is don in EMT coming off of this panel...

I am getting solar installed on my house today. (6.1kw system, Grid tie) If you are looking for solar, you need to figure out what you are running out in your shop. If its just a couple of lights and a TV solar would be adequate. You would be looking at offgrid solar. (which means batteries...
