    Well, ok now. There was no indication of that in the OP. :) I'll move it back. ;)

    My advise stands, however...foil tape unless there's a joint that's going to get stressed a lot for some reason.

    Getting three phase from the street to a residential address, even if it's available "on the street" may be a tough row to hoe and quite expensive. That's one reason why so many folks who want or...

    I'll agree that a biscuit has some lateral flexibility, but a Domino on the tight setting has nearly zero play. The same is true for a dowel when the hole matches the dowel diameter. So someone...
