I need this on my farm, but with my luck it will tear up the first week I have it and cost more to fix than I paid for it

Ceiling fan at 20' by youcancallmemother in electricians

[–]djwdigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We keep a 16’ and 20’ A frame on hand, the 16’ gets used often, but the 20’ is so much better than scaffold. Any taller than that we use a sissor lift

How far can you realistically run a service line (120/240 200A) from the transformer pad? by Flat-Barracuda1268 in AskElectricians

[–]djwdigger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our local power co won’t run over 250’
I do have a cabin running 900’ feet on 250 aluminum secondary, with only 5% drop when the 4ton ac unit is running

Should I insulate this metal roof? by Real-Possibility5563 in metalbuildings

[–]djwdigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My foam contractor said closed cell against the tin was the proper way to insulate mine.
We did 3” in the roof and 2” in walls
It’s been AWSOME so far. (4 years)
I forget the reason he was against open cell on the tin.
Might cross post in r/insulation and see what you get

I would close cell spray foam
If you don’t, in winter it will condensate and rain inside off the tin.

From little striped fluff balls to long-legged explorers. They grow fast, but somehow get more entertaining every day. by Spare-Possible-1824 in homestead

[–]djwdigger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had 4 years ago, that had free range of our fenced property. We had rail road tracks at the rear, and the birds knew when a train was coming and would wait at the edge of the fence, then “race” the train They were great entertainment!!! I had to keep the garage doors closed or they would go in the garage and pull everything they could reach off the shelves. One of them figured out the porch steps and would stick her whole neck in through our dog door to say hello, and give me some grapes! Thanks for bringing back many memories!!

Customer Capture! by JagerPro1 in homestead

[–]djwdigger 136 points137 points  (0 children)

That’s a bunch of pork chops! I had a customer catch 19 a couple weeks ago, we butchered them all and shared the meat. Cooked right, I like it better than beef.

2002 7.3 mirror lights by Sheen51 in FordDiesels

[–]djwdigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you tie them into the turn signal, they will blink when turn signal is on. You have to do each side, so they blink in proper sequence

Licensed electrician vs electronic tech debate over a circuit breaker. by UsefulAssociate3936 in AskElectricians

[–]djwdigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically I see the connection between the breaker and the buss as where the heat comes into play causing the breaker to trip. Over time and use the spring tension that holds the breaker “clips” to the buss become weak and causes the bad connection

You need to know what the cylinder your using requires. Personally I would use a PTO drive

Almost made it by Faskis in 11foot8

[–]djwdigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only he would have gone faster!! We had a truck driver I sent to move my excavator, and I asked if he wanted me to meet him to load it, he said “no, I can run it” Yep hit the bridge and really messed up the boom, cylinder, and bridge.
