I posted it through my phone last night and woke up today to see the notification things of likes on my post in the Monte thread. I was like hmm, I haven't posted in Mike's thread in a while. Click on it and somehow my electrical musings ended up there. Quickly delete!!!
I blame the interwebz.
Somehow my weekend progress update got posted in Mike's turbo monte build. How that happened not sure.
Anyways,
Got 220V to the garage and to the back of the house for the mini split install planned for this summer done. Yeah its MN so you don't NEED AC but somehow the previous owners made it through the past few decades without putting AC in. I'd rather have AC than not so working on that.
However, you do NEED 220V to the garage to weld so thats good thats knocked out.
Now I just need the good ole state approved sticker applier, I mean inspector to come out and bless everything.
Inspection soapbox-
What I keep finding in house work is that in my opinion house work is not a higher art than auto repair. Nobody is inspecting the walmart tire change dude that they torqued the lug nuts, but the chance of a tire falling off your car and killing you is much higher than you failing to put an 110V outlet within 25ft of the AC unit. I'd argue it takes more experience and tools diagnosing a miss in an engine or rebuilding a transmission, 95% of what was is done plumbing or electrical wise on a house can be done with with a couple pliers, 2 screw drivers and a drill and some spade bits. I just find it weird how you legally need to bow down to the code for house stuff when automotive stuff can be just as dangerous and the extent of inspection for many states is non-existent and with the exception of a few states extends to "plug a car in and make sure it's not polluting more than the standard says"
However, I am totally fine with automotive being the wild west of lack of inspection. Don't need any Australian style rules keeping you from putting a 500 CI big block in a car that originally had a 231!!!
The number one rule in plumbing
-Poop flows downhill!
Number one rule in electrical
-Don't touch the black and white wire at the same time!
