Hey everyone. I have a 30x50x14 shop and want to purchase a rolling fan or two. What brand and size would you recommended? Currently using two cheap walmart box fans and just putting them right next to where I'm working. But have broken a few when knocked over and their plastic blades snap. Thanks

Thank you

Hey everyone. My wife and I recently purchased a new hot tub and I need to get the wiring done before it shows up. It requires a 40amp breaker to run both the heater and pumps at the same time. I was originally going to install a 40amp GFCI breaker in my main panel and call it good. But after...

Its been awhile since I've posted some updates. We have power and a couple wired in outlets to keep us busy. Installed recessed lighting for the back half where the gym is. This past week we had the garage doors installed. As far as insulation goes, I will be doing rockwool for the walls and...

Thanks for the recommendation. Prior to me seeing and knowing what it was, I washed it just with water and a push broom to get it ready for the sealer. It did somewhat go away while wet so you are right with that. (Wide angle tip, never to close etc) Just moving the water.

Hey everyone. I had my barns floor poured on November 2nd. 3500PSI - Wire mesh - Vapor Barrier - Troweled Finish - 4" thick. Crew came the following day and did the relief cuts. Temperature was mid 60's. The temps have since dipped into the 20's and back to the 50's,60's. Barn does not have...

Any recent update on how its holding up? Some do's and don'ts? Thanks!

Makes sense. Thank you

According to Bendpaks website they recommend a 30A breaker What size circuit breaker does a lift's power unit require? We recommend a 30 amp breaker for your car lift.

Hey. Nothing against your post. My brain just wanted to see it written out in black and white with what I already purchased.

Perfect. Thank you!

Here’s what I have already because the initial plan was 150A service in the shop. Would I still be fine with either a 90,100 or 125a breaker supplying this 150A panel. Thank you for of your knowledge!

Yeah, I don’t ever see my self pushing that limit. Biggest one time hit I have now is a 2 post car lift which requires 30A. I might look into 2/0 then. Thank you

Thanks for the response. When I input the numbers on a wire size calculator, it’s still saying 4/0AL. My wallet would love if 2/0 would be sufficient for that distance.

After doing some more research, I'm gonna drop it down to 125A service.

Thanks for all the responses. I measured it today to get an exact number and its gonna be 275 feet from house to barn. I will be going with Aluminum now for sure. Now to find a place that has 4/0 in stock.. Still gonna put in the 150amp service as well.

It’s what I had growing up in my dads barn and was in the mind set of just doing 150A to be good for anything that may come up in the future. Doing a car lift and will have basic auto wrenching going on. I’ll look into aluminum as well now. Thanks!

Hey everyone. I had a question regarding wire size for my shop. My house has 200amp service and the shop will have 150amp service. The distance underground is 230ft. Will be running copper. I’ve talked to some supply houses and they say that they aren’t electrician so they can’t recommend wire...

Correct Cobbler.
