I would not call Milwaukee a "knock off" product company. Sure, they do copy some basic design sets, but everyone does. There are only so many ways...

I've seen it on his shows, and definitely more than just testing for power or demo. If he was an electrician or apprentice, don't you think he'd...

And that's about the best advice to give.

Seen it with my own eye guys. Several times. I know he had and electrical contractor he used, but there was no indication whether or not the...

Code wise, there is no prohibition on horizontal mounting, it's just that there's not advantage to it. Panels approved for exterior installation...

I'm a master electrician and have been in the trade for 47 years (and still going) and can count the number of horizontal panels I've seen without...

Mounting a panel sideways is strictly a remedial step that is taken in an existing installation. If the basement is in a flood plane, there can be no...

Please, DO NOT follow electrical advice from Mike Holmes. The guy is such a hack. He rags on about contractors not getting licenses or permits, and...

I did mount a 600A service entrance and distribution panel sideways to get it out of the high flood level.

You occasionally see a horizontal camera, but vertical is by far most common. Any horizontal panels have been in older houses. I can't think of a...

I mostly carry mine in a shirt pocket. Otherwise in my front pants/jeans pocket. Bending, sitting and maneuvering is not affected at all. The S22...

I'll add that another thing the less expensive phones won't do is give me high res, high quality pics taken in dark nooks and crannies of buildings...

I got a Galaxy S22 Ultra a couple of months ago and like it a lot. That big screen is wonderful, yet still fits nicely in my hand and pockets. I have...

That one makes me smile.

I've had a couple from Lee Valley for a few years and both are very good. One has a white flat surface for jotting down measurements (I wish all...

I've seen boards that are faced with sisal fabric, no the super course stiff with the thick threads about 1/8" apart, but a somewhat finer weave...

Classy shops needs classy rugs. I like it.

I think Bill is onto something. A course weave fabric of the desired color could be glued to the face of the cork. You'd never have to work about...

MDO, which is faced with phenolic impregnated paper is a high quality experior grade fir plywood, no voids. It's tough as nails. At least that's what...

Well, harder to find in that you may have to reach up to the next shelf to get the 2 pole switch and just a few bucks more for a 2 pole commercial...

This will do it.

A particle counter is a valuable tool and it's really interesting to see how much dust is produced from which tools. The air in my shop is normally...

Glass will take a real beating on a kitchen counter. I wouldn't use it.

Plastic will look crappy right from the word go and go down hill from there. Just use cutting boards and trivets and don't let messes sit for long....

I agree with this strategy. It means less wire cost and concern with voltage drop. I do the same.

I still use Simply 2006. It's a full small business accounting package that is easy to use. It certainly doesn't owe me anything.

No cellulose needed. That's what the asbestos if for :)

As long as the installation is wired to code, there will be no difference in power, efficiency or performance.

Are you saying it was an asbestos ceiling you scraped off? Without wetting? And wearing cheap respirators? Even if no asbestos you should at least...

The wood shrunk. I've never heard of epoxy swelling. Agree with insufficient mixing. Did it all cure solid?
