    Awg14 Wire Ok For 20amp Crt Bker

    in General Chat - Not Fishing Related (NFR)

    Posted

    HI, I'm an electrician . 20 amp breaker requires a minimun of #12 AWG wire by Canadian electric code. For your safety i would stick to that code.

    Hay I have a modern house 2006, I want to put in a sauna for my house mouse, and for my old bones and joints. It needs a 120v 20amp circuit breaker and receptacle, my question is do I have to run different AWG wire for the circuit or can I use the 14AWG that is there and just change the receptacle and Circuit breaker in the panel?

     

    thanks for any info in Advance..

    Alright who's using their tools correctly??

     

     

     

    COMMON TOOLS DEFINED

     

    DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal

    bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings

    your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted vertical stabilser

    which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

     

    WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the

    workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned

    calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh *hit..."

     

    ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes

    until you die of old age.

     

    SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

     

    PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of

    blood-blisters.

     

    BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor

    touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

     

    HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board

    principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion,

    and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your

    future becomes.

     

    VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads.

    If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense

    welding heat to the palm of your hand.

     

    WELDING GLOVES: Heavy duty leather gloves used to prolong the conduction of

    intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

     

    OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable

    objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the

    wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

     

    TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood

    projectiles for testing wall integrity.

     

    HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after

    you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly

    under the bumper.

     

    EIGHT-FOOT LONG YELLOW PINE 2X4: Used for levering an automobile upward off

    of a trapped hydraulic jack handle.

     

    E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any known

    drill bit that snaps neatly off in bolt holes thereby ending any possible

    future use.

     

    BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut

    good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash

    can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

     

    TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of

    everything you forgot to disconnect.

     

    CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A very large pry bar that inexplicably

    has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle.

     

    AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.

     

    PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or

    for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your

    shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips

    screw heads.

     

    STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to

    convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws.

     

    PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket

    you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

     

    HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.

     

    HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used

    as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the

    object we are trying to hit.

     

    MECHANIC'S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard

    cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents

    such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector

    magazines , refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful

    for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

     

    DAMMIT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while

    yelling 'DAMMIT!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next

    tool that you will need.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Christmas Haul 2008

    Posted

    Well my wife who doesn't like me fishing all the time, really surprised me for x-mas. She gave me a weekend pass to fish and some money for a bed and breakfast in southern Alberta. Wow no kids or wife for a weekend.

     

    She came up with a list of places to stay on or near the Crowsnest river with some help from somebody at Fishtales. She had nothing but great things to say about the service she recieved at there.Which are my thoughts too.

     

    Has anyone here used any of the bed and breafast's on or near the Crow river? Just looking for some feed back.

     

    Thanks to all that might reply

    Starting Fly Fishing

    Hi, I took the boot camp last spring and it was good. Still tons to learn that isn't taught in the course but a good starting point. The knot tying was redundant as i had met Troutlover and he took the time to show a lot of the knots before i went to the course. Thanks again Troutlover. I kinda wished i had taken the store credit on the rod and upgraded. As a year later I'm looking to get a better rod .

Went back to the mall and he was long gone. I just got a new windshield and already got rock chip in it. So I'll be off to the windsheild place for repair. Part of my new warranty on my new windsheild is 3 free crack repairs.

    HI, Wanting to get a pontoon boat and know very little about them. I have read some of the past posts on them and still have questions.

     

    Would an 8' be okay for the Bow?

     

    Looking at a South Fork 8' 325lbs carrying capacity and i weigh 205 lbs which leaves 120 lbs for stuff. Would i be over loading it depending on my stuff?

     

    Anyone have a South Fork, pros, cons?

     

    Thanks
