    As stated above, this is a CT meter socket. Think like your clamp on voltmeter to check amps. You are not physically breaking the wire when the meter is pulled. You will have to install a disconnect switch if you feel the need at the metering point. As stated before, there should likely be a...

    Space heaters to run off generator help

    I don't know if a large propane tank is an option? As a power company employee, I would look into a gas fireplace with a modest sized dual fuel generator. Getting a huge generator will burn through a ton of fuel. Natural gas may also be an option with a tri-fuel generator. All electric is nice...

    Pole Barn Insulation - stacking foam boards, acceptable?

    I did 1 1/2 between the girts, then 2" esp over that. Great-stuff foam the seams. Then I decided to fill the void with faceless rolls of insulation. No regrets but time consuming.

    Insulation: Vapor Barrier question

    I used 1 1/2 between the girts, then 2" xps over that with seams foamed (buy the gun, u wont regret it) then unfaced insulation to fill the rest of the cavity. No poly on the inside. I am happy with what I have. I have taken a heat camera out several times and have been satisfied. I can faintly...

    Who pays for trees that damage power lines?

    If the tree damages the line as a result of a weather related event it will be considered an "Act of god". If it is the result of negligence, such as home owner or contractor damaging lines or equipment attempting to remove a tree it would be their dime.

    AA pen type flashlight suggestions?

    Link I have a bunch of these guys in every vehicle, drawer, and bag. There are different brands but all seem to be the exact same. Costing under $4 each is a bargin.

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    This ☝️. The worst part about the 1 1/4 is it'll probably cost more than the fiber right now!

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    I've considered this but I really don't have the contacts out here in the sticks to get that accomplished. This was all a mute point until I got Starlink and was exposed to the world of high speed internet.

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    Surge protection is really the only reason I'm considering it. I know Cat6 would be more than capable for what I'm requiring. The fiber just seemed like an interesting project to tackle. I absolutely agree fiber is the only way to go for GJ.

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    Fiber will be the only thing in this conduit. the 5e is in a seperate 1/2 next to it. The 5e is what I had at the time. I know it wasn't rated for burial, so it's a mater of time before I need to replace it. I'm just seeing what my options are when it goes bad. I'll likely be pulling in Cat6...

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    The extra 3/4 pipe seemed like a good idea at the time. 🤷‍♂️

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    3/4 conduit is empty. The (2) 90's are sweeps. The existing 5e is in a 1/2in conduit. My 3/4 was my future expansion pipe. No string in it now but I have no problem sucking a string through it, I've done it many times. I'm sure it would be a fight if I try it. Just curious if anyone had done it...

    Fiber pull in 3/4 conduit

    Do I have any chance of pulling in fiber through an existing 3/4 inch conduit between my garage and shed? Fiber would have pre-installed LC connectors. Is there a different connector that would be smaller? I am leaning towards the LC because it seems most common. About a 70' run with a 90 on...

    Finally, decent internet with Starlink

    Honestly, didn't have to wait too long for mine. It is definitely a game changer. Would likely go to fiber if they ever decide to go by my house. My main concern is equipment failure. Don't think they are going to send me a new dishy overnight if mine is damaged by wind or hail.
