If you want to go to Victoria BC, there's a bridgeport up for tender on BC auctions. http://www.bcauction.ca/open.dll/submitLogin?language=En&disID=6609213

That link took me back! Grew up in the same small town as the owner of that page. The purple '70 Cuda mentioned on his home page was quite the terror of the town and I'm pretty sure his Camaro was spanked pretty badly well before the 80 mph mentioned. http://www.mts.net/~hpokrant/index.htm

Lucky me. I have to work in my carport instead of a real shop. I was considering running a 220V line to my carport, but because this is considered outdoors, I must install a GFCI breaker to comply with code. I have not found much encouraging info on using welders and compressors on GFCI...

How about using that 4X4 space for some sort of waste bin or maybe something to drain liquids if you plan to use the tables for things like disassembling a tranny. Tables could touch at the tip, but neither table extending fully into the corner. I like the idea of the corner tables because you...

I've seen OSB used to sheet a garage, then painted white. Much easier to handle than sheetrock, handles impact much better and there may even be a cost advantage. I can see your problem with the ceiling joists as they look to be on something like a 48" center. You would need to strap for 16" or...

It's common practice for service drops to be a minimum of 2/0, (200A), regardless of what type of smaller service you request. Keep in mind the conductor sizes specified in NEC are minimum. There is no maximum size specified. NEC article 220 and 230 provide full info on service drops and...

It's pretty clear that adding a 100A panel to a 60A service feed will not magically give you an extra 40A capacity, but the original question relates to potential fire hazard and there may be a circumstance that could cause such a hazard. As stated, the utilities will not normally provide a 60A...

This is a question for your electrical utility. If you are considering a panel upgrade, you will need the power company to disconnect anyways and as they own the cable up to your weatherhead, (for overhead applications), they will likely insist on an upgrade as part of the permit. You will take...

The link to the welder says it will operate off 115V household current. That means any existing standard outlet should be sufficient to power this welder, BUT!, as everyone is saying, that panel is not up to the job. It looks like your service is maybe 60 amps tops. No main disconnect at the...
