Hey all! I want to put a sub panel in the basement of our addition. The main breaker box is 65 feet from the location I want the sub panel. I need 220 in the sub panel because I will be transferring the stove and dryer to it from the main. I have 200 amp service and the sub panel I bought is a...

Thanks everyone! Well hopefully I didn’t screw my heater up. I let the pressure out and am going to test it again, I didn’t tap on the gauge and I didn’t check the fill valve to see if it was the source of the leak. Now I’m all confused though, I’ve read to leave it 48 hours and 24 hours but...

Got the black iron pipe run to my heater for propane. It’s a short run, 24” to the wall, 10 ft down to the drip leg and ****** for connection to propane tank line. I used yellow pipe dope only. Connected the tester and filled it to 25 lbs of air. 24 hours later and I lost 3 lbs. I used dish soap...

That’s awesome! I love it, big enough for the kids and me to do everything in. I almost went 14’, going 16’ cost me about 4k extra with materials and the big telehandler I had to rent but I had to make sure it was high enough for basketball and volleyball. I would highly suggest sealing up the...

Thanks friends!! Some things have been frustrating, learning how to do that I’ve never done before but the kids have been out there every day playing hoop, passing football, volleyball and running around and that makes it all worth it

It’s 30x60x16 on the sides, about 17 to the bottom of the truss and 20 to the peak. I have double bubble in the entire structure with a 2 inch gap between the bubble and the metal. Two nice ceiling fans that move air well. It was just built the end of October so it’s an ongoing process. I spray...

Thanks everyone, I used the angles it came with and then screwed in a 4x4 to those angles and it’s about 4 1/2 inches off the shelf and just a few inches from the edge. It’s also bolted to the shelf so it won’t move. Haven’t run it yet as the propane isn’t connected, hopefully soon. I can‘t find...

My gym is coming along good thanks to all the help and information on this site. I'm in Ohio and have been heating it with a 100k BTU torpedo heater and surprisingly it works well. Ready to get the 125k big maxx going, have to run the vent through the side wall on the left, it will end up...

Thank you very much!

I'm going to replace my small sub panel with a larger one so I can organize a little better than what I have room to add a 60 amp breaker in my main panel for my gym building. The sub panel I'm replacing is right next to the main panel in the house and it services the addition we built a couple...

Wow I caught a great deal there, 240 ft, it was marked down 48% off and then I found a Black Friday code for another 5% off, the total for 240 feet was $477.60. That would be $928.80 before tax if I got it at Lowe’s and $960 at Menards!

Ok thank you Sparky 1971 much appreciated!

Well, there’s this too! What is the difference? I’m trying to learn, not be a pain in the ***!

I’m looking at 2-2-2-4 mhf and found this at Nassau national cable and it’s 48% off. It doesn’t say mhf but it says 2-2-2-4. Can I use this or no? Thank You...

I’m probably going to run conduit because you and some others have suggested it. No inspection is happening, don’t have to have one where I live and I don’t feel like dealing with it. You guys helped me with what I needed and now I can get it done. Thank you, very much appreciated!

Happy Thanksgiving and Thank you for all the very helpful replies! Let me see if I have this correct. 60 amp breaker in my main 200 amp box. Run MHF 2-2-2-4 or 2-2-4-6 from the 60 amp breaker, through conduit out of the house then buried to the gym. Back in conduit out of the ground and into...

Funny you’d say that, I did add up breaker values and it way wayyyyyyy past 200 lol, then I researched it and found a couple sites explaining how to calculate amp load the correct way. My total amps came to 86.68. The gym hasn’t even been up for a month. I have double bubble hung properly in...

Alot of information in those replies, thank you! When I get home from work I will calculate the amps currently in the house and post it. We have all electric, furnace, hot water tank etc. At work we have a 40x60x14 shop that has poor insulation and a 125k propane big maxx and it heats it up...

Hello all, frequent reader first time poster here! I have 200 amp service at my house and want to get electric to my new metal building that is 217 feet away. It’s a gym, 30x60x16. I’m looking at 6-8 outlets and probably 14 four foot shop style led’s. One of the outlets will be for a 125k btu...
