I am sure you know this, but when hammering on a threaded bolt, rod, anchor. Screw the nut a couple threads on and hammer on the nut. It will protect the threads and make your life easier when you go to put the nut on later to secure the anchor.

I would have used an LL out of the breaker box instead of an LB. Or use an LL and LR and have your covers on top, makes life easier.

I use flavour tonic water to help with legs after a workout. Milwakee do a sealant gun for tube cement or sealant. This excellent at delivering the right amount. Saves the hand squeeze if doing a lot of sealing. As a concrete specialist, I would use PY4, for levelling for bases, Hilti cement for bolts and anchors or for 45 minute workability, Choc a Bloc made by CT1. CT1 is also good for working in wet conditions or even underwater

@terrancevangemert7508 4 ай бұрын

Knockouts are great and sometimes I use the smaller ones to make the knockout hold for the bigger unit. Just so I can keep the drill bit down to 1/4 inch. Not fan of the christmas tree bit as its is a knuckle buster.

Gloves are a must to protect those money printing hands

@oliverpernillo9834 4 ай бұрын

I did cut my finger tendons and it’s been almost 5 years and my hand still not feeling ok and I was wearing gloves but they weren’t thick enough to prevent the piece of metal to cut straight through my tendons so I definitely recommend gloves even when it’s hard to grab things and wear safety glasses at all times.

@TheOnefalcon07 3 ай бұрын

Yes what they all said. Please wear gloves. It's so hard to mess up your hands. I work with glass and glass is super sharp as well gotta protect what makes u money. Dirty hands, clean money.. but also safe and protected hands

Quick question, why not use LR’s instead of LB’s for accessibility? Both covers to condulettes would of been on top.

@AdventurousJohn 4 ай бұрын

As a note on setting the bolts in the epoxy to hold the transformer down... First, I buy the SET-3g (simpson epoxy) - I THINK it's stronger, and yes it takes a special 2 tube gun, but I REALLY like that I can buy extra tips at about $5 each so I can use that tube for a dozen or more projects. I always let it set at least 90 minutes before cranking on it. Second, on tapping the bolt in with your pliers... fine, but - if you set the nut %80 of the way on before hitting it - you are FAR less likely to damage the threads. (which means you can hit it a bit harder if you need to.) I will say this though, I VASTLY prefer the epoxy solution (regardless of which one it is) to the redhead expanding anchors. Those have always seemed sketchy to me.

@krob777 3 ай бұрын

Did you vacuum out the dust from the holes? if you didn’t the epoxy will never adhere and pull out! You even have to wire brush out the hole to get the sides clean and then re-vacuum

@LewisEGilbert 4 ай бұрын

that hole punch is way cool,

@MarioHernandez-hb8eh 4 ай бұрын

Should have used seal tight flex instead of hard conduit

@jonadamfinney 3 ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing! Coming out of a transformer the seal tight is a necessity with the vibration. Same reason you put pads under the feet.

At the price they charge you really have to have a need for them to be able to justify it. I've been eyeing up Knipex's parallel jaw pliers for many years, but at $100+ each I always decide I can get by with a $5 crescent wrench.

Grounding barefoot on the earth has human healing benefits, you could sit in a chair or stand barefoot on the earth 🌎 for 10 to 15 minutes a day to relieve your stress. Love 💕 and light to all ❤️ 😊. I use a grounding pad and sleep 🛌 grounded because it pulls pain from the human body. 😊
