You might "need" an electrician to do something but I know I always do my own electrical.

So that is how you went from brunette to redhead

 

[TurtleCrusher]

I was a union residential electrician and coming from a radar tech background, home circuits and theory are very, very simple. Two light opposite phase circuits. The hardest part of the field was learning the home construction side of things, and that homes changed wildly in how they were built depending on the year.

Got my plates in today, just realized this car came from California and doesn't have a spot for a front plate. Are you fucking kidding me.

Possibly. I got my first 120v shock when I was like 2. lol

 

[WaTaGuMp]

John Wick 2 is fucking lame. I figured it would be, but its lame times 1000000000000000. Worst than the first one, I just don't see the appeal of these dumb pro killer movies where everything is so scripted and you know the lead in the film wont die.

12-2 gray nm to mine. The other goes to the neighbors carport.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Comparing charge handle size to the electric faceplate of the switch I'm going to turn to a dummy.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Moving the 14 switch wire to an interior nail-on box.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

portable 8/12 amp evse plugged in

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Taking out the dummy box, this is what I see before I fish it out to charge the volt.

[TurtleCrusher]

Who?

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Uhh, do I need to call out safety checks tonight?

Coffee nef. It's the first time since I can remember where I'm up this early on a non work day or otherwise a day where I don't have to be up early. My goal is to start on the shed by like 9-10. I was going to call it quits for the season but figured I'd use my last day off to at very least get the trusses up so that all framing is done. Well I'm off tomorrow too but it's suppose to rain. Yeah wtf is this shit, it's November!

Get the roof up first.

 

[sdifox]

Then you can have tarp wall and then buy a propane heater, unless you have outdoor gas hookup.

 

[Pick2]

... at very least get the trusses up so that all framing is done.

With the trusses up , you could put the tarp over the whole shed ! You have once again inspired Me , Red Squirrel , I'm going to work on my shed today. On the one hand , I already have a tarp covering Mine but on the other hand , It's still in it's box on a pallet
I've got literally Nothing done in the last two weeks ... Nef'ing at all.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Get the roof up first.

Trusses are what hold the roof. But yeah if I can get that done it will help a lot. I'll put tar paper on it and it should be decently protected. I might sheet the walls anyway even with all the ice on some of the studs. I can just re-tighten the screws in spring when the ice melts and it leaves a gap.

Yeah if I don't get the sheeting in place might do that, though the sharp edges of the trusses might cut into the tarp, it's a fairly heavy duty tarp though. Idealy I just want the plywood in so don't have to worry about a tarp. I should stop neffing and go out and start. It's light enough out now.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Finish coffee first though. And maybe eat something.

Spray hot tar on roof :awe:

While I was building the trusses I was actually thinking that, a flat roof would be so much easier. Add one or two 2x4's on one side to give it a very slight slope, then lay down some 2x8 rafters, sheet, and tar the crap out of it. Better surface area for solar panels too.... dang maybe that's what I should have done actually. Flat roofs are a pita though. The water stains on the DSLAMs at work are a reminder of that. That was a fun night.

I didn't say flatroof.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yeah but just saying it crossed my mind, then to just use a tar product over it.
