When I replaced my mast during upgrade to 200amp service, I inadvertently reversed the two feed lines. When our hydro company came out to restore service, they pointed it out and told me my meter would run backwards. Since I needed to have the inspector come back, and it was too late in the day...

x10 on Kroil.. $13 a can here, but has never failed me Grant

Incredible job! In case you are looking for interlopers, you wont have to look too hard lol.. Grant

More than likely your camera is taking the pics at too high a resolution. This is great for printing the pics, but is needlessly to large for posting on the web. You need to copy the files to your hard drive (in fact make a duplicate copy in a different location so you dont modify the...

Glad to hear it, am looking forward to pics. Hmmm.. now how did that happen? Grant ;)

Now, prove to us that you got some work done this weekend. Show us that tool chest this morning! Grant

See? We told you not too worry too much about the house. Except for eating, pooping and sleeping, what else is it good for? Grant

You could chrome it all and paint the black in after for sure.. Paint Sharpie for the raised letters.

Thanks for the video.. I've seen it on their site, but watching you do it makes it believable that someone like me could do it.. Grant

I'm liking this.. thanks for showing it. Grant

Do they allow larger garages when they are attached? I know that here they are :) Grant

One problem I see Joe. If you make the bench level, then how will the ball bearings and bolts roll off without you seeing them? Where's the challenge in that? Grant

What a great idea! I want to see this one in action for sure. Grant

Not sure about there, but here if the outlet is located high enough, it doesn't have to be GF. I think we're nine feet. Grant

Ahh.. just Shut up and Play yer guitar already! Grant

This is not correct. A 220v dual-pole breaker is already load balanced, and does not need to be included in the "balancing". It pertains only to 110v single-pole breakers. Grant

This is actually true very often. Most electrical hookups in our city can easily support 100a to the mast, but when the home was built, because 100a was not the norm, homebuilders often cheaped out on 60a service from their end. Last summer, I helped my brother change his 100a panel to a...

Assuming as you said that the electric co. has the correct gauge wiring to supply 100a service to your masthead. Please understand, by putting a 100a main breaker on your panel, you are allowing 100a of current to be drawn before tripping the main, regardless of what your mast is. To...

I defer to your experience. What I was simply trying to state was: 1) Electricity is drawn by a device, and the amount of amps the wire/breaker/fuse will "flow" at a given time is dependent on the device's requirements at that time. It is a common misconception that the electricity...

Actually electrical devices are not "fed" electricity, instead they "suck" a volume of electricity. If they were fed electricity, then all wiring on a circuit would have to be a larger minimum gauge.. think of an automotive fuse. The limiting factor on the amp draw avail is always the gauge...

Nice.. Gonna be a nice place to work. I gotta say, I like those Conquests. They were never legal for sale in Canada, and my brother owns the only two here in Winnipeg. His parts car looks great in my yard too. Grant

Actually it does not need a gap between the sheeting and the insulation. It needs a vapor barrier between the sheeting and the insulation. What happens is that due to heat/cold variation on each side, somewhere in the middle of the insulation the temperature/moisture will be at the dew...

Sounds like everything is working out well, and the shop is beautiful. Like the design. Grant

That rocks.. a really cool score. Grant

Just for info, if you mix black in the cream, it will turn it more green. Most blacks tend to be on the bluish side. You want to add a reddish-brown color to change it from the green side to the reddish brown tan color. Too many years custom tinitng paint colors lol.. Grant

Looks like a fun tool to use.. once lol.. Good idea on contacting them and providing info/pics and questions.. just in case something goes awry, you got proof you have done it to their specs Grant

X5 on the getting started. I remember buying my first set of 3/8" Westward sockets, and a 1/2 & 9/16" wrench.. A man with no tools is no man, just a tool. Grant

That is pretty neat.. sure beats my 1950's era beat up horses. Good thinkin Grant

OK.. I'm a little green. Nice "doghouse" Grant

Spray on spongee shoes for a better grip on the ice Grant
