    Garage Subpanel - Do I understand this right?

    Couple pics of the subpanel in my garage. I think I understand this correctly but just wanted to verify. The subpanel doesn't have a separate ground bar so neutral and ground are both terminated on the same bar. Per NEC, the subpanel should have a separate ground bar. This could have been...

    Need Help w/ Compressor Setup - Motor & Starter

    Posted this in tools section, but thought it might be more appropriate here.... Bought 3-phase compressor off a guy locally. It's an 80-gallon Speedaire with a 3-phase, 10-hp Dayton motor. I know this compressor was available in 10hp and 7hp configurations, so my thought was I could replace the...

I was looking at rotisserie's to work on a corvair I just brought home but $1000+ for a rotisserie when I ultimately want a lift too, seems the $2k lift makes more sense to buy first. But I know I have some rocker work and floor pan...
