    "Loose" tandem CH breaker

    Greetings all, we have a Cutler-Hammer 200AMP service panel that is model# CH42B200K. I need to insert a 240v line for a steam shower so I bought a 15amp tandem breaker to combine 2 existing 15amp breakers down into 1, thus freeing up 2 slots next to each other where I can put the new...

    XPS, is 1" enough?

When we removed the fake wood paneling, there is nothing under it except a 6mil vapor barrier tacked to the 2x2 "studs". So I've gotten advice on my basement remodel before I did that but my...

    Forced air in bathroom with radiant floor?

    Greetings all, we are remodeling our kitchen which luckily (or not luckily depending on how you look at it) required the destruction of our outdated and terrible front "bathroom".

    Hello all, we are remodeling our kitchen (1963 ranch) and have torn out a dividing wall that seperated the old kitchen from the living room/dining room.

    Depth of cable burial for Ethernet and Coax?

    Greetings all, I know this is *technically* an electrical question but I think it's the closest I'm going to come to a perfect forum for asking this question. I have a barn/woodshop that is about 100' from my house. The barn has electrical and natural gas running to it so that's all fine...
