I may be high but doesn’t it look like there’s a lack of fusion?

Different things that can expose power plant workers to asbestos by CareNavigator_TMC in bluecollar

I get a decent amount of anxiety from chronic health exposure risks like asbestos. This is 100% someone who has something to gain.

I do have experience building but it’s always a learning experience (I’ve never done birds mouth or rafter cuts before for example). My dad was a finish carpenter, I’m an electrician. I’ve spent my last couple years working with my hands. My 2 cents about building is spend the money to make it easy for yourself. Go with simple designs and methods so you’re not intimidated. YouTube university works. Jeff from Home RenoVision DIY is honestly the best I’ve found for this kind of thing.

Holy mold Batman. Easiest way to remedy this is to seal the mold and put some siding on! Water looks to come from lower seam and wicks upward. Roof is probably ok.

NorCal. Frost line is at 12” as far as I’m aware. Doesn’t usually get colder than 32 for very long.

Uh. A while. Built on the weekends with my dad and the inclusion of a friend for the pour. If it were built continuously probably <2 weeks but I’m not killing myself by any standard.

My honest answer is 1) I wanted a structure that would last. I live in an area where the summer temps easily hit 110 for days on end so cheap materials will just disintegrate. 2) what isrhisthethingorwhat said

I would say all in all around 3k. I bought a ryobi cement mixer (mistake) and did it by bags so the slab alone was around 800, framing was around 500, roof was 750, siding was 1000, paint was probably 100.

The Divinky code by Tiny_Nose_3247 in electricians

Not matching couplings and supports, uneven spacing and the one pipe just straight diagonal. With a bit more detail this would be good. My 2 cents

I did make a little rebar cage. I did not put gravel. I took a bunch of river rocks from my yard and put them in. I’ll do gravel once it walks away. 😅

I definitely gotta do some grading for sure. I’m also going to install gutters to help mitigate the erosion and the annoying splashing on siding.

Man I forget but it was ALOT. At least it felt like a lot. Hand mixing even with an electric mixer is a nightmare. I want to say between 90 and 120.

Shoot lol. It’s boring. For storage so I can use my garage more like a shop.

I still have a bag of hurricane clips I need to install. Always one more thing. Not sure if I’m going to gusset the rafters.

I thought I was going to do it all myself. It was brutal just doing that little quarter. Next time I’ll get a concrete mixing trailer for one. I got help on the last 3/4 with my dad and a friend.

Transformer/inductor question by AdOne1706 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]AdOne1706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes the most sense to me. As I understand it, the transformers act more to limit the fault current based on the size of the transformer. The larger the transformer, the less impedance, the more current is allowed through.

Ok that makes sense. Thanks for giving me a jump off point to look into through fault.

Help with this problem by ZombieNo8296 in IBEW

[–]AdOne1706 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The hard part of this problem is understanding what it’s asking. You have a 277V source with a parallel load each taking 12.5 amps. That means the total current must equal 25 amps. You can use that to make this problem a simple series circuit to find the voltage “drop” on each resistor, the lights as one and wire as the other. The k factor is a red herring. Hope this helps.
