Talkin' 'Bout My Generator
Here's the trench. I want everything nice and hidden. There's this dark olive green pipe dope I've had great success with for the joints; I'll admit that getting threads started on 10' pipe isn't easy.
It seemed like I was going way too small with the wires from the generator, especially after wrestling with 6 AWG. THe tables assure me 10 AWG is plenty for the short run and voltage I'm feeding. Good thing, too---pulling that wire was hard.
Here's the form so far. It still needs to be leveled and the rebar/anchor bolts pre-set. I've got 1800 pounds of concrete mix in the back of my truck all ready to mix but I had to quit to get to Patrick's soccer game. If it doesn't rain in the next 6 days while I'm working a 144 hour shift, it'll be fine. Then I have to build the actual housing which should be simple
Been hanging around my 'starter wife' since 1987; 3 kids together so I'm hoping she'll keep me...Copter rescue medic , hazardous materials response stuff, and Urban Search And Rescue and USFS helicopter manager stuff. Also build houses. Mostly just a dad
