    hearing protection; unwanted advice for the younger set...

    I recently talked to my kids ENT about getting my son a set, he said they cost about $100. The Sams here has a hearing aide center that does them, the ear canal molds are made by a professional audiologist (thats who does them a the ENT office too) and are then sent of to a lab so plugs can be...

    hearing protection; unwanted advice for the younger set...

    If you are in a loud environment on a daily or even more than occasional basis do yourself a favor and spend the $100 on custom made plugs. I shoot thousands and thousands of rounds of ammo a year and finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) on custom made plugs last fall. They make all the...

    Rogue Supply Work Benches

    It is Rogue, their fitness stuff is crazy pricey too. It is really really quality stuff but over kill for a whole lot of folks. I assume this is probably the same. way.

    Service Technicians ...errr vandals

    Twice in the last year I have had techs lie to me and/or try to screw me. I was using the local dealerships stand alone service shop for service on my vehicles. I normally do everything myself, but I was working 70hr weeks plus my travel time and changing the oil in the driveway of my rental...

    URD vs Conduit

    Talked to the electrician that is going to do the hook-up and we are good. I pulled a 4th wire with the URD through conduit. I went with 2" after the mention of gophers and how it would be easier to fix later once concrete is over it. Thanks everyone for the help, no way I could have tackled...

    URD vs Conduit

    As I previously mentioned, the URD was free, can I just pull a 4awg with it for my ground? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    Thanks Charles, that is why I was asking. I realize that there is usually some things you can fudge on and some things you absolutely can't. As I mentioned the URD is available for free so it is hard to pass up even if it requires another step or two.

    I am going to use conduit, decent chance that concrete gets poured over this at some point. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    Okay, if I am grounding the sub panel at the shop via grounding rod why the additional grounding wire? I don't doubt you just looking for clarification. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    So I would need a 1' length of SER just to go from the URD through the wall and into the panel? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    URD vs Conduit

    Is there any advantage to using conduit. I am looking to run 2-2-2 AL URD from my panel to my subpanel in my shop, the run is 100' and I will be installing a grounding rod next to the shop. I dug the trench 18" deep, there is no code where I live. Is there any advantage to using conduit...

    HVAC Issue

    I hate it when an author abandons the thread before the story is finished so, here I am. Got the part in Friday, two days after I ordered it. I thought to check the time before I went I to the attic so I could see how long it took. Transfered over the thermo wires and the two molex plugs then...

    HVAC Issue

    Yes it is. Yeah, I am going to have to unplug it so I can hook up a work light. I did read on an HVAC site where these model boards were well known for blowing relays back when they were common, the early 2000s. I found a decent tutorial on allthumbsdiy.com. Like I said, seems pretty...

    So last Thursday the fan in my HVAC unit stops working. Thermostat shows the fan as on and the cool setting is on. My outside unit is working it *** off, frosting up, but no air is coming through the vents in the house. I shut it down and call the HVAC company I used on another project. Tech...

    Outlet Install Help

    Jim, sorry it took me so long to get back to the thread. I put most in at 52", and only a few along each wall at lower heights. Definitely going to put a 2 gang in the ceiling for a cord reel and drop light. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
