I recently bought a 220v air compressor and was looking today at wiring it up. My house has a 125 amp sub-panel with some spare breaker slots, so should be no problem, right ? Well, turns out that s

Can't speak for Jack, but I know that, if I want the power off at the outlet, I short the wires. My own breaker panel isn't so well marked that I know for sure which breaker is for which outlet/fixt

Uh huh. And how many times have you (or anyone at your house) actually done that ? Trot down to the main disconnect; odds are high you'll get there before any serious damage is done (assuming the sh

My previous house had a 40 amp main panel; probably put there when the house was built in the 20's. Someone had added a subpanel, but tapped in *before* the main fuses; then got the wires crossed be

Ditto. Didn't expect the cheap Enco vise to last long, but it was all I could afford at the time. Going on 20 years later, it still works well enough. Given that I use it for cold-forging; and have

Yup, just cinder block. Soft (compared to concrete) and fragile. Thanks to all that replied. The 3/4" pipe I'm using is a bit under 1-1/8" diameter; but needs to be sloped for water drainage and I d

Impossible; they don't get power when the thermostat is open. Seems likely to me. I'm guessing that, if you get it off, you'll want to replace it anyway. But if not, you should be able to do the old

I know you don't want to hear this, but I'm going to say it anyway ... chances are you should just replace the whole heater. The tanks don't last forever and if yours has already outlived a thermost
