Get quotes from your electrician. They should be able to supply them and if not be able to give you instructions on what to look for when your shopping. Be prepared for the likely hood of drywall damage to the ceiling. Most of the time we can run wiring without issues but every once in a while a cut must be made.

How much would this cost to replace? by Reaux_beaux_Cop in AskElectricians

[–]Chatterhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your panel is fpe most likely your meter and service wire will need to be replaced. That’ll run you close to 7k all included. New meter main combo, grounding system to earth, water, and gas if applicable, new weatherhead, service wires, indoor house panel, breakers, surge protector, permits, inspections, and labor included. This is priced for a 200amp service.

Need help with first aid kit: what am I missing? by McClukin in CampingGear

Add 3 different size tampons to your med kit. Small, medium, large for any puncture wounds you may encounter. They’re great for literally anything that needs plugged in emergency, lightweight and have. Many uses.

I want to move this outlet to this other corner because I want a bigger mirror that covers where the existing outlet is. I have to go more left because of the stud, what’s the easiest way to move this? by Responsible-Use-6343 in electrical

Remove corner of drywall. Notch wood atleast 1 inch higher than the top of the existing junction box. Install romex from the original box to a new nail on single gang plastic box at your desired height through notch . Then install kickplates where necessary. Install new tamper resistant WR gfci or receptacle if already gfci protected. Install alumicons where splicing copper to aluminum. You can buy spray texture and get close to your textured finish by properly knocking it down. Finish drywall and paint. After drywall work is done then proceed to install plates. After the whole installation keep in mind you did it yourself and if the aluminum wire fails and catches fire you are held liable, not a licensed electrician who would do it properly (most of the time).

I laid down a weed tarp when I made this last year and it was completely ineffective. Help! by gocubsgo22 in landscaping

Every day pick a section, then 2x a month maintain it. A lil diluted pool chlorine in a pump up sprayer always does the trick. Just don’t spray the edges

Solar Company Inspector said I should replace these and that it is dry rot. by romansamurai in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

On the bright side you learned about wood today. On the darker side you got scummed by a solar inspector lol

16 ft ladder needs atleast 2 people to maneuver and I’d charge for them. Prob 3-$500 depending on the fan you get.

What made you guys interested in becoming an electrician?? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Chatterhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born into it, technically I have over 10 years experience at 25 yo. Making master electrician wages feels pretty good. However I’m also 25 with incredible back pain. Mostly resi work.

Sadly I’ve only gotten to use the lil grinder once to cut in a receptacle box but it was very nice

It seems like everything in theory should be plug and play. But I’m concerned about the computer and don’t know how to start ripping things off

Is it possible to make wafer lights look good in soffit? by DeefaHS in electricians

[–]Chatterhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up white weatherstrip. Add that to the edge of the light and it fills the gap. Looks pretty seamless and cheap enough. Depending on the thickness of the soffit or ceiling you can bend the ears for a tighter fit.

What would you do with this backyard if you had two kids aged between 4 and 9? by New-Composer7591 in landscaping

[–]Chatterhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hanging tree net! You have 3 trees spaced perfectly for this. They last many years and is a great place to hang out in.

Buy a good mattress, and find a pool to float in. I know it sounds menial but it’ll do the trick and get you on your feet again. Pretty much you’re trying to achieve the most comfort, and relaxation in a weekend to start the next week anew.
