    Add Interlock to panel or bite the bullet and upgrade?

    Seems those red wires on the left are for MWBCs? If so, handle ties would be nice.

    Is directional boring an option? My POCO pulled my new service cable under 2 driveways using this years ago. They own the cable and paid for install.

    Little help with 50A generator inlet (SS2-50P, CS6375)

    Yes and that is what you find in the generator end of things. I'm referring to the house end. I only see SS and CS types in an inlet housing. My question was prompted by this statement: Seems the availability of compliant parts forces one into SS/CS when you need a 50A PIB. Even a...

    Little help with 50A generator inlet (SS2-50P, CS6375)

    I have the L14-30 on my inlet. But how do you handle a 50A inlet? I didn’t see options beyond SS and CS styles?

    Adding a circuit the electrician "forgot"

    I had to do 3 of them just like that last year. All were first floor bathrooms with old motors no longer available. The new units were set up to be mounted as either old work or new work. So they slipped up in the existing hole easily.

    Designing a Car Guy Garage, Drawing Feedback Welcome!

    Well, call me unwise. I bring my salty snowy nasty cars into the garage and they drip salt, dirt and filth on the floor. A bucket of soapy water and a little diligence in where you point your hose (always a good move) has never failed me. Washing a car in the garage is less mess than snow. I...

    A future project: a sleep deadman switch

    Count backwards from 750 or any large number. One of 2 things will happen. 1) You will fall back asleep. 2) you will get down to a low number and get out of bed. The counting distracts me from the random thoughts that keep me awake. Guided relaxation helps too. Listen to podcasts that train...

    Switch Distance from Shower

    I'd put the timer next to the light switches and fan timer by the bathroom entry door. Walk in, turn lights on, twist the fan and towel bar timers take a shower. I prefer the "master control point" approach.

    Automotive wiring kit WITH dispenser box - help needed

    The walls of those cables (often Heliax manufactured by Andrew) are corrugated to provide flexibility. The alternative construction is hardline microwave cable. Hardline (smooth tube jacketed coax) has slightly lower losses than Heliax, but has poor or no flexibility especially in larger...
