I had a brief brownout overnight tuesday or wednesday. my power is usually rock solid.

surprised I haven't seen a NYSEG notice requesting reduced electrical loads yet today.

Feed through on a GFI is all good.  These items: (kitchen ceiling light/fan, back stairs hall light) that are on the same circuit as you kitchen counter and ran through the GFI are of concern.

meh, ill ask JJ when he does my panel if it needs a change.


6 coats and a roll of fiber tap, i was ready for tile today.  took about 3 rum a cokes to decided on the way i was going to do this and well this is what i ended up with for a start.

what size is the tile?

That shower looks tiny, but photo can be deceiving.

[M4wdFab]

6x6 tile i cut down to take the pitch.  the walls are 12x12

its super hard to take a picture in a small bathroom haha

its cozy but fine.  shower head got put on that wall because the other wall is an exterior wall and i didnt want that.

seems expensive and i need to swap a breaker and a welder outlet in, add another 20 amp breaker.

id like to mount this box or similar outside the barn, feed from existing 200amp pannel in lower barn.  swap the 50amp for a 30 amp welder 220, break the 120 outlet into 2 20 amps and add that breaker.  would be good RV power and welder power out in the lot then. 

bah.

first delco crate of twelve brought upstairs tonight.  forklifts on both floors is so nice. with a truck trip inbetween. 



i have  shit ton of work to do in the next 12 days.  hope this knee keeps cooperating lol

my fed ex girl is cute!   


she brough me lots of presents to the shop tonight!

i put in a 50 amp RV exterior power panel last night

all went well other than finding an easy way though 3' of rock and concrete so i cheated a litttle

anyways-  i go to shut the 200amp breaker off on my main panel before inserting a new 50amp feeder breaker and when it clicked off there was a 2" long blue spark from the back side of the breaker arc'd to the ground/neutral bar next to it..... 


what the F just happened?   

inserted breaker, hooked wires and all appears well. 

[etk300ex]

That would be an arc flash.  Very unusual for said actions and equipment.  I'd guess cause would be super dirty or really old and has never been used, or both.

[mr.mindless]

that sounds scary AF

[M4wdFab]

i have used the breaker at least 5 times in the last 2 months, this was the first time i recall having the cover off. 


o, update its a 150amp breaker not 200. 

[M4wdFab]

i am thinking that when i get JJ to do the house panel when the power is off / meter pulled this main panel is going to get a new main breaker also.
