I can tell you with some degree of certainty that if the neutral that is powering your panel has originated from the main panel, then your neutral is tied to everyone else's neutral on the block. This ALWAYS leads to circulating neutral current on the ground (which is bonded to the neutral). This is...

The phrase "farm outbuilding" leads me to believe concrete bight be the best option purely for practical concerns.

aaaaaaaand there it is. Something tells me I need to sharpen my Google fingers. Thanks, all.

All good. I don't even know what a flugel horn is so I'm going to Google that. I wasn't sure how to post what I was looking for, but a tax break would be nice!

I'm looking to put a session together to record a tune and I'm trying to get it down as faithful to the original as possible. What I need is some critical listening to get what instruments I need to assemble for that to happen. Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwwK7ueCrIM I'm hearing 3 ( or mo...

Mike brings up a good point. In fact, it is against code to run wires that are not rated for plenum use in an environmental air space. In older buildings, many times a wall was constructed without firestops for plumbing risers. This is always a good candidate. In some cases, you'll find a few chases...

Here's a link to the equipment used by Shellac (Steve mostly home made) Not sure how accurate it is now. I haven't seen those guys in probably 5 years or so.

Oh, and the machine came with Win 8 (64 bit) originally installed.

The "problem" with Windows 8 is that there is no time to get to the escape screen options. It took a while, but I do like the W8 OS. So while I tried, there is no way to get to the escape screen during boot up. (as far as I know). I did find disabled devices in the device manager, but was unsuccessf...

So I opened the machine last night expecting to find a PCI type card. Not so much. The audio bits are built into the board, though I'm sure they're modular in some fashion. So the truth is, I can't even tell who MAKES the damn thing. In any case, this is probably the opportune moment to get the audi...

I'm going to try and pull my card and reinstall it. As to the type, until I do that I'm unsure as to what type. There was a reason that installing 8 would be more work than the audio card, though this was coming from the mouth of my wizard friend so I may not have been able to translate it. It seeme...

Oh I agree. It's my friend who thinks this.

I'm intrigued by this ^^. Let's say you fill the recess as I have described but left some sort of "floating level between the crushed rock and the new pad. I suspect that the pad would have to at least double in thickness, but you could have a flexible border between the new pad and the old floor. T...

Understanding the OP may be gone, I feel like I should share something I learned the other day. We all know that fluorescent lights typically add some noise to a system. But I found out why! It turns out that the very act of striking the arc in the lamp generates a small radio frequency. I don't kno...

So my buddy who is a professional computer programmer updates literally everything on my computer every time he comes over. It's usually pretty great to have a service like this. However, Windows 8.1 was installed and my audio card does not appear anywhere in the device manager. I've installed drive...
