Cut-in boxes are installed in remodels.
The sheetrock guys would benefit the most with the sq. cutter on new construction.
This got me thru for many years. Pretty fast pulled from the hip.
Trace the box, cut inside the line. Doesn't take very long.

I put a lot of effort in meeting up with you assholes to do more of it.
Thats the best part of it all even if I know it's not good for me.
It's the risk. The reason I do the shit I do. Everything. Life is not boring.
edit: and never will be.🤪😀😀

Sounds like it's runnning good now. Thats alot of motor metal to heat up.
Did you idle it down?
Perhaps let it run 1/2 choke for a little while longer get some heat in there?

Only once have I worked on the pivot area of a shaft bike. What a pain in the ass.
Replaced the bushings. Yamaha 1200 Venture.
Challenging to support when dissasembled.
That was an evil bike.

Sad. I like eggs. Can do alot with a boiled egg.
If you let them go weeks beyond stale date, there are other uses for them.
edit to add: they really explode if you shoot 17hmr.

Good info. Thanks
I often wondered about this ---
Eggs and Diabetes
Eating just a single egg a week appeared to increase the odds of diabetes by 76 percent. Two eggs a week appeared to double the odds, and just a single egg a day tripled the odds. Once we then have diabetes, eggs may hasten our death. Eating one egg or more a day appears to shorten anyone’s lifespan, but it may double the all-cause mortality for those with diabetes.

Thats a good deal. Go for it Mike.

Dave, how big is that screen?
I'm am tempted also.

That's supposedly the right way to do it, but fuck all that work, throw down a sheet of plywood and a couple screws.
I used a thin piece of shit wood I had laying around (osb I think) on mine as a quick & temporary fix around 15 years ago. It's ugly, but holding up to the shit ton of scrap metal I have in it.
Oscar, I already did that yrs ago.
The rotten wood was starting to fall out on the hwy. HAD to re-deck it.
Bought that trailer in 2004. It was one yr old then so, the original untreated, never tarped 2x10's remained twenty yrs.
I chose not to treat the wood and even used a few good weathered 2x10's. I won't be here in another twenty yrs.
It will be fine.

Did you have to cut the cases to get the 38 to fit? 😆

I think Oscar has a good idea there. Especially for AC needs.

Safety, obviously, third. OSHA not allowed in my place.
Where did you get that special re-bar alighnment tool ?
Kinda soft to hold the weight?
Don't think I would sit on the bike right now.

I want to put one of these in it and make it removable.
My Son Kevin drives truck and delivers to the guy that sells them.
The guy is anxiuos to get the word out and sold this one to Kevin with big discount.
If I get to meet the guy, I will ask if he would consider a group discount.
We shall see. fwiw, I put that one together for Kevin. Works good.

Reminded me that I am getting old. A task that could have been done in one day took me three days.
(on my knees) Work for 15 and break for 45 min. Work for 15, break for 45.
138 holes to drill. Fuk those battery drills. Got out my corded 35yr old craftsman 1/2in drill and it never stopped.
Wore me out.
To make matters worse, I slipped and fell on my hip. Inside of my elbow smacked my ribs.
Sore for days. Hell of a time getting up and I thought of those commercials with the old women on the phone
saying "help, I can't get up." Had to roll over and push myself up with one arm.

This morning I told Moriah she should remember to do it. "After all, it's *your* appliance..."
Thats not nice.
She might say "wack it yourself, its your appliance"

Thanks, I did take the time to see what new side by side fridg/freez cost nowadays. YIKES !!
I would have to sell a motorcycle or gun. Fuk that !

Thought so.
Glad you didn't.
You should also remind the electrician, cord must be plug connected.
Shall not be used as permanent (hard wired) connection into the load center.
That is allowed on machinery when a motor, micro sw. ect,ect needs to be moved for maintenance or adjustment.

The trapdoor linkage is broke and the spring is now missing on the ice dispenser.
26yr old Ref/Freezer. Whirlpool Gold
Where is the best place to look for parts?
Can I replace it as a unit?
The buttons, crush/cube are not as good as they once were also.
Anyone ever work on an ice/water dispenser?
I am spoiled. Now I have to reach in for ice.

fwiw, the danger of using a suicide cord to backfeed the Load Center instead of a Transfer Switch can get real ugly if more than one breaker is on the same phase and energized The Neutral will have to carry the current of the another breaker also. Not good.
Careful about doing that. If the neutral is shared with another phase at a load, even if the other breaker is off, it will be backfed 120v at the load
waiting for a ground. careful
Thermosatically controlled freezer perhaps or some Emergency lighting might be ok on one breaker.
Careful I think Arizona is hot enough.

Branch circuits should not be loaded greater than 80% of its current rating continuously .
If your gizmo draws 30A continuously, your branch circuit is undersized.
Looking back at this thread in ref to 3-way switching, the white wire is used as a "traveler" should be marked with black tape
both in the switchbox and the junction box @ the fixture.
That way, the line feeding the switch is black and the returned wire to the light is also a black wire.
The white used as a traveler is only connected between the 3-way switching. Same as the Red.
The black terminal screw is for the line and load at both ends of the 3-way switching.
The White and the Red are just travelers. They terminate on the brass screw and the silver screw.
If this is observed, the white traveler will never be connected directly to the light or the neutral.
Think "black wire in - black wire out."
White and the Red wire are just a travelers with a band of black tape wrapped on the White and should never be connected to a Neutral.
The other question for the gizmo --
(don't know exactly what you have going on there in referance to "continuous load?")
How is it controlled? 30amp @ startup then quickly controlled to a minimum?
Perhaps a ph call to discuss?

Joe, I figured you have a few so, I jumped on it before you could trade with him.😅🤣😆

Bill, you may have already found your problem?
Just wanted to mention, the Honda OEM coils of the day had "screw on" resistor spark plug caps. (to eliminate radio noise)
Fuk those cars was my mindset 😆
May I suggest, unscrewing the spark plug cap, nip off about a 1/4 in of coil wire and thread the plug resistored cap back on.
The same applies to the connection @ the coil. The CBX, just like the SOHC Honda 750 fires two cylinders at once.
You can't get it wrong swaping two wires on the same coil secondary. Get all new plugs and your good to proceed
onto the carbs next if all the compression is within specs. Carbs is the last thing to change. Always
Compression, ignition, fuel in that order.

Neil I owe you an apology. Somehow this past month, This item was forgotten.
We spoke of shipping cost and then it slipped away. Please post a total and I will Pay-Pal.
Ok?
