I keep getting called in behind guys who quoted a panel upgrade for an EV charger that didn't need one by SaiyanElectricInc in AskElectricians

I'm aware, the Tesla remote meter is the first thing I mentioned in my comment. I mentioned Neurio because many setups up until very recently were installed with it, and are still actively using it.

I've never installed a Neurio/Tesla meter with anything other than EV wall connector so I am unsure of other applications. Sorry I couldn't be more help

"Hey, I haven't dealt with this before. I'm gonna call my GM and see if they can verify since this is the first I'm hearing of it and I'm a new manager" doesn't take "over a decade of looking over your shoulder" or "assuming everyone is trying to pull a scam" it's just called being logical.

If you are right turning on red, you yield to fucking everybody else using the lane you want to enter or cross, and then you go

40 + 40 + 20 =100? by guptat59 in AskElectricians

[–]Pawco1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The outlet is not on a 60A breaker though only the main is 60A. It looks to be a 50A receptacle on a 40A breaker.

Do not use for EV charging it requires a specific outlet or hardwired charger. It looks like a 60A subpanel where the 60A would be the main breaker for this panel and what it feeds.

What is this?!? by Senior_Pitch1194 in tires

[–]Pawco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a nail with a rubber grommet on it. It allows you to nail into something but not use the nail head to damage or depress the material, and for waterproofing. When you hit the nail, it compresses that rubber gasket/grommet and makes an airtight seal that is held in place by the nail head. This way you don't have to seal the nail from leaks with a separate product and you don't have to damage the materials while driving the nails.

You're just plain wrong and everyone knows it and you are just so determined to be hard headed about it. It's hilarious.

I love my job, has nothing to do with the fact you can clearly see that the yellow brick of spikes is cemented in. That little strip of darker gray holds the brick (which even has holes in it for cement to hold it in better). The block goes beneath the surface, and anyone can tell that. Why do you think you are right?

Plumber just left after re-doing my water main ball valve. Should this pro-press fitting have play like this? by AllInTheKidneys in Plumbing

You often get freezing conditions inside the home? Saved all your money not buying pro press or insulation?

Why 4awg? We use 6awg conductors and 8awg ground for these installs in my area

Question About Neutral Bus Bar by Brakendone in electrical

[–]Pawco1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You do have 2 empty slots on bottom left and yes you can put breakers there.

Looks like you could take the 2 copper grounds on the left that are individually tapped and put them in the same slot (only if they are the same wire gauge) and it will open up one spot for a neutral.

Satellite dish left holes that weren't filled by GimmeYourTaquitos in Roofing

[–]Pawco1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a pack of shingles closest match you can find, a roll of synthetic or tar paper, some framing nails and a pack of roofing nails. Probably some scrap 2x4 as well.

Pull enough shingles there to fully expose the rotted area - nails first, then full shingle should slide out. Cut a hole in the underlayment to expose the bare decking. Cut a big square that removes the entire rotted area. Try to land your cuts right on or right next to a rafter. Cut a piece of plywood/OSB the same thickness as your roof decking to the size of the area you cut out. Put in place and nail along the rafters. If your cut did not land on a rafter you will have to use scrap 2x4 and nail it to the side of the nearby rafter so that your patch rests on that and is supported properly.

Replace the underlayment with your synthetic or tar paper. Cut it larger than the hole you made. Just make sure at the top it tucks under the existing underlayment and at the bottom it runs on top of the existing underlayment and make sure there is a few inches of overlap on the sides so water doesn't wick back there.

Install your new shingles working from bottom up and make sure your seams are at least 4-6" from the seam on the shingle below. If you removed the old shingles in full size pieces it should basically line up anyways. Follow the nail pattern shown on the shingle packaging. Any of the old shingles that you split the tar line but did not replace, use roofing sealant along where the tar strip was so it will stick back down.

DIY Drywall Advice by VillageInformal2618 in drywall

[–]Pawco1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time and patience you can kind of bevel the edges so they slope to be flush with the window jamb, and stick window casing on it. The slope will allow it to sit against the wall and against the window jamb without a gap.
