    Weaver jack

    If you look through the thread, you will see pics of my weaver jack. I’m happy to report, it’s been a few years now and the Jack still gets used regularly. We’ve since finished remodeling the house we inherited and we’ve moved in. I’ve used the jack for working on trucks, mowers and tractors!

    Bonding a Gas Line

    Basically, if the gas line was in, say, a generator, you could bond it to the generator. But since it’s piping thru the house, you need to bond it to the House Service ground.. if that ground wire in your picture is running to/from your service panel, and you can verify visually that it is...

    Bonding a Gas Line

    generally you want to bond with a clamp to the regulator outside, and on the utility side of the regulator. Where the regulator is outside, is the Service nearby?

    Driving ground rod through rock

    Here in the mountains, sometimes well only have 10 inches of soil before rock. Our inspectors will allow digging to the rock, laying the ground rod horizontal and then encasing it in concrete to the surface (grade).... they don’t like it, but it is the only way sometimes.

    Ramping up for Christmas
