How many amps do I need?
Comments (6)This post is very timely for me. I am today finishing my trench to be used for the run of electrical (and also use for my water line) to the gh. I am running the line in a trench from my well which has 240. At the well, I intend to install another box next to the well box, connect to the power there, and use 3/4" elec pvc sched 80 to the gh - about 40'away, using #10 wire. The new box is a 30AMP box with two fused circuits and I am going to use two 20amp fuses. I was only going to run one 20amp line to the gh, but then thought I might as well put in another wire so I will be able to have two separate circuits in the gh. Gh is 12x11, and given my zone etc, I can get by with one heater, which I anticipate won't be needed very often. Other uses of electrical would be exhaust fans and shutters, circulating fan, lights, and any power tools I might need to use from time to time. I do not know if this is the optimal way to proceed, but I think it will work out for me....See MoreHow many commercial electric H3 cans on 15 amp circuit
Comments (8)Turns out it's a 150w max. The sticker has several options that I thought were all the different models - turns out it's the different kinds of trim and you can use different bulbs with certain trim. The max bulb with some version of trim is 150w. Therefore, I need to wire for that. Kinda stinks....See MoreNeed advice for how to display many pretty rocks
Comments (23)Love that I'm not the only person who collects rocks from across the land to drag home with me! Some ways I display my collection include the following-- I made drawer pulls from some of my rocks for my kitchen cabinets and drawers, and a bureau or two. I bought a clear glass lamp base from Lowes and filled it with "lucky" rocks, Maine beach rocks that have a white strip encircling them. I keep a canning jar full of rocks and water on my desk as a paperweight. Occasionally I drain the jar, rinse and refill, bit not that often. The water makes the rocks very pretty. Finally, we have stacks of similarly shaped/colored beach stones at places throughout the house, on the hearth, in a corner, near the bathroom sink, on a shelf, etc. Have fun!...See MoreNew construction: need advice on how many paint colors is too many
Comments (5)I've come to prefer the flow of rooms painted the same color throughout my home, but I really like the palette you've chosen. I think Tidewater, while a slight departure, is still a complement to your scheme. Very pretty....See Morechrisinsd
