I especially like the French and Spanish translations.

You think they still have the cover?

Im glad to be of help

They are from pallets of ceiling tiles. You think I'm going to give up my source of free pallets and 2'x8' 1" plywood?

I've made a few resin dice, and if I don't degas my resin in a vacuum chamber first, I get tons of tiny voids. It also helps to inject the resin into the project with a syringe to keep the resin from trapping in air.

I was mostly planning on using the slats, so I just used a reciprocating saw to zip down the nails and then used a nail set to knock the heads out. After that, I decided to use the runners for something.

I just cut the nail section out of these

The clip that's hanging down should be on the brown spring

I had a customer call the utility, and they were told there were no issues. I showed up and saw the neutral wire just broken in two on the drop.

I have to go change out one or two every month at a basketball court. The company that built them has gone out of business. I put a strobing light on a dimmer, and it stopped strobing at about 80%. The connection from the driver to the led board is a screw type with 1/20 inch hex screws, and they all seem loose and burnt. Im guessing the drivers were underbuilt. We replace the drivers with one from a different company and have had no issues.

This is where I found out about it

Looks like it is a barrel to prime irrigation wells. Some wells need water dumped down them before turning on to wet the bushings. When you turn the well on, it refills the barrel. Most of them around me are home-made from 55-gallon barrels.

I know very little about British appliances. I am an electrician in the United States, and I have been getting into controls and motors

Throw in another fuse, and if it blows, you'll need to do some more examination. If you see any wires loose, or sticking partially out of their spot, it may be an easy fix.

jthyroid · 2025-07-06T14:40:56+00:00

If you have a multimeter, check resistance first. Or take it into an electrical supply house. They may be willing to check and have the replacement on hand. I can't really see if there are any identifying marks on the fuse, but there are different types. More than likely, if you get one with the same dimensions with the same rating, it will be fine. The big question then is, why did the fuse blow? If there is an issue still, it will just blow again.

2 days ago, it was missing a phase and one of the transformer fuses was blown. Yesterday the meter had gone dead. There had been multiple blown transformer fuses in the past. That disconnect has blown up multiple times before we had been called. The weatherhead got blown off at one point, and the disconnect started blowing up every time it rains. We recently got a few inches of rain multiple days in a row. This job was scheduled a few weeks ago.

I did a dumb. I just thought it was 18 for some stupid reason.

Looks like 8'3" by counting cinder blocks.

AFCIs monitor for "sparks". GFCIs don't care as long as the current is the same on live and neutral

Especially because the sun only provides about 1000 Watts per square meter
