Allright, one of the problems with the new house I bought was that it had a Wadsworth circuit box in it, and 40 years of Jack leg electricians adding and removing things along the way. Some of it was marginal, and some was downright scary.
So this morning it looked like the first picture, and after about 8 hours of real hard work by my buddy Dwight, it now looks like this
That is a 50 amp outlet for the welder, and a 30 amp for the air compressor.
There is another 30 added in for a dryer now (had a gas dryer before)
The old electrical ceiling heat is now all pulled, as well as the AC window unit plugs and wires.
A heck of a difference one HARD working man made in the safety and functionality of my new house in one day.
Freinds like him are what keep me going. He works seven days a week (yeah, no stuff,) 7 days a week as a lead electrician with a large crew of Guetemalans (he speaks fluent spanish) and took the day off (Sunday) which he normally makes doubletime on, to fix my box up for me.
I could probably not afford to pay him what it was worth, but when I asked what I owed him, he said absolutely nothing, he appreciated all we had done along the way for him....
Things like this make for a real nice day.
