Thanks!

I built this house in 2006....Likely the acfi breakers were required, but my house was outside of a jurisdiction that enforced any code...outside any city limits. My only experience with...

Thanks!

that's what I'll do then and see how the inspection goes...is they want a separate circuit, I'll leave things such that I pull a new wire.

Not sure about the acfi...this isn't a...

Hello everyone,

I'm building an addition...a sunroom. It's 16x20 and will not be heated or air conditioned, so will be a partial use room.

The room is being built on the west side of the...

well, heck.

Here's what I have. I have two standard wax rings, a wax ring with a 3" horn, a sioux chief raise a ring and a tube of silicon.

From what I can, I'm thinking of this a approach. ...

Looks like I screwed up again.

I roughed in the toilet flange and then set my tile floor, failing to realize that the flange would be too low. The flange is about 3/8" below the finished tile...

you're right, i messed w/ trying to pull that #4 thru the existing 1" for awhile...I couldn't even get a fish tape thru the 100' of conduit.

So, I have pulled out the exsiting #4 conductors...

ok, I got the double lug problem resolved at service disconnect just below meter at pole.

I found the neutral that was in the barn. Indeed, it was just run a ground rod. I'm in the process of...

Thanks everyone!

I'm having a heck of a time sourcing the panel with space for 100a and an 85a break to feed the cabin and barn

Anyone have any suggestions on model or part number? Local...

ok, so Im planning on putting in a new a new 200a panel with a few spaces on the downstream side of the existing service disconnect.

I'll run appropriate size copper to this new panel mounted w/in...

Thanks ballvalve! That makes good sense!

blue wires? if you are referring to the 3 #4 conductors...two coming out of the conduit and the other w/out conduit. The two in conduit, I've traced...

The cabin is pretty lightly loaded and no one lives there any longer, just used on occassions. I have done some quick load calculations.
There is already a 100a services in the cabin. It's 1 bed,...

thanks...can you help with a little more specifics?

I would think I need a new service disconnect of some sort with two breakers (200a for cabin and 85a for barn). does that sound right, can you...

Ok, np. I can pull the meter. I am interested in knowing the best way to supply power to this barn, if there is a diff.

It appears to me, I have a couple options:
- add another service...

Thanks very much! I will do as you suggest to get things up to code and like you say, there's a couple options...so if I may, I'd like your advice on that too.

Option 1: replace service...

Thanks for both replies! Again, this is how I found situation and am trying to rectify it. jwelectric, im certain the county I live would enforce all codes as well as I doubt the previous owner has...

Hey,

I have cabin near our primary residence that has electrical service. :
Here you see the meter head and a 'sub panel on the pole outside of cabin. the breaker in this panel is 200a

thanks very much, guys!

Hey, thanks Terry!

So it's not a problem if the pvc connections aren't seated all the way? I'm guess this caught an 1/8 to a 1/4" or so...it's in there 'cockeyed'

Ok,

I have hard time piecing in PCV for some reason, much harder than it looks!

I put in this 2" ptrap and it's all glued in. I had already glued the street ell part of the ptrap to the drain...

never mind, i got the darn thing out. Dang, embarrassed myself for nothing!

Was almost too afraid to post this question, but since it's fairly anonymous, here it goes.

Was rouging in a showerfloor drain, at same time finishing the area below. I ran behind on the drain...

yep, you guys are right..there was some water left...after getting it all out and dry as I could, it seemed to solder just fine.

However, I can't pressurize it yet as now I'm stuck on the faucet...

Hi,

My last fitting on this job of mine is connecting the supply, so lots of copper.

The joint is all 3/4" and there is a ball valve about 8 or 9 inches away. I've tried to drain all the water...

thanks for the reply, terry!

I have messing w/ this project for too long...started awhile back and got side tracked...I see where I should have stayed focused...could have gotten to the 3/4 line...

Hey all,

Am installing a Grohe atrio roman tub faucet and this is different from any faucet i have don as the spout and control valve are all separate.

Basically, each control value has 3/4"...
