Sounds good, gonna research collar ties.

Hi "p mori7", located in Southern Ontario so we do get some snow but anymore is only snow/melt and not too often does it stay around to collect. Like the idea of running a board at 36" to eventaully make shelfs on the ends for extra storeage. So will do that for sure and this would probably...

Any advice guys?

Here is the picture. 5/12 versus 12/12 roof pitch.

...........Please delete computre froze so not sure if this is a double post...... Hey guys, I am in the process of building an 8x12 gable shed, the floor is done and have the walls up so today mocked up 12/12 pitch rafters and also 5/12 pitch rafters. Will post some pictures shortly. But...

Hi and thanks for the information. For your Lincoln 180 what breaker size are using for it? 50a? So many different ways to go about doing this both from a cost prespective as we don't plan on staying here that long and also safety perspective.

Was reading online that possibly the Canadian made federal panels were ok not sure how true this is. Think I will read up on doing a load demand study and making and excel matrix detailing the loads currently in the house.

Sounds good about the 60a sub panel. Curious what loads are you pulling from the main panel- I have gas water heater and furnace so really only big items are the electric oven, ac unit in the summer, and dryer. House is a 1300 square foot ranch. And do you know if I was to buy electrical...

Curios what do people think of the options above

I am leaning towards being on the safe side and having the FPE swapped out for a 200a panel and then running a 100a subpanel in the garage. Is little bit more then I planned on spending as we don't plan on being here any longer then 5 years but I guess would make it back when we go to sell the...

Yes I am in Canada. You mention about the configuration of the panel, is there somehting good or bad about it and that I am in Canada? Do you think I should just haev an electrican take a look at it and see if I can keep it. And if I can keep the main FPE I currently have, and as another...

Thanks for the clarification on the meter can. Looks like to do this is not going to be cheap.

Just curious so I understand and eduacate myself why do you think the meter can and riser would need to be upgraded? What do you think would be rough cost to replace Federal with 200a main panel and 100amp subpanel wired for 60amps. Quick guestimate? Basement to garage will be about 50-75 feet...

Just read up on the federal panels and yes does not sound too reliable.

What size of sub-panel would you recoemend or what do you think my main panel can handle? Do I need to do some sort of load calculation - the hosue is gas furnance and gas hot water tank so the only big loads are electric oven and a.c and washer/dryer.

Hi Guys, Need some expertise on how to go about installing a 220V outlet in the garage to run a Lincoln 225/125 welder I am thinking of buying. Also as the garage currently only has one plug for the garage door opener I would like to have room to add two more 110v plugs and another 220/240v...
