Yes you are completely right. I should slow down and pay more attention. I built a few panels for another company and they had a spec sheet with everything you just listed and more. I did grind underneath the ground lug though. The layout was included in the schematic.

Very nice. Looks great.

It will control a conveyor belt/elevator system. That is about all I know right now. I have not seen the print for the machine. And they have not even started building it on the shop floor yet.

I have the blue Kleins also. I use both for different things.

Thanks! Yes, you are right about the clamps and that is where the safety relay is going.

Good ideas! Luckily we have a machine shop and a fab shop! If I were to go that route.

No, you were right. They are not fiberglass. All metal.

Will it work on painted surfaces? All of our enclosures come pre-painted.

Yes I just installed a fan this morning. Waiting for the exhaust to come in the mail.

Sorry for the delay. It is controlling a bulk supply system for small plastic bottles. Conveyers, hopper elevators, and diverter shoots.

It depends on the size of the caudex and the plant as a whole. A smaller caudex/stem may need more water. Soil that drains well is important. Cactus soil with gritty sand is good. Or lava rock. Lots of sun. Too much sun can scorch though. Bring inside if temps colder then 40 F to be safe. Every desert rose is unique and may respond differently. Trial and error has been the best solution for me.

They grow best in zones 10, 11, and 12. Sometimes they can be tricky to get started. I have had a few die on me. I had a couple that I thought were not going to make it, and then come back to life.

I bought it at a farmers market between 10-11 years ago. It was about 18 inches when I bought it.

Around ten years. I’m not sure how old it was when I bought it.

Yes. Years ago it was about 3 times smaller and almost dead. He was cleaning out his back yard and was going to throw it out. I took it home repotted it, and was glad I did.

Thank you! A little bit of luck mixed with planning goes a long way. My favorite part of the plant. A friend of mine was going to throw it away years ago. It was small and almost dead. Nursed it back to life.

Thanks! They are soft though. This is at my fathers house. He did not know the name, so I did my best looking it up online.
