Afternoon and or Evening Everyone !!!!!

 

Legal here.

To be honest if mr homeowner wants to fuck around with shit he knows nothing about and starts pulling panel covers then let’s nature take its course.

 

Seems like it is a bit less expensive option for now and when and if I step up to the larger auto run gen set have the separate transfer / auto transfer installed then and quite possibly have the cable feeding the back shop changed out. This whole deal is running about $22.1 K . I still have windows to do for about $7.2K so , I take a little less hit now get the windows done maybe this fall and be ready for the propane gennie next year .

I've been noticing alot more bottled water deliveries especially from Sparkletts in my neighborhood

 

The paranoia has begun.
A girl I work with was out to lunch with her mom. She was wearing her Mercury Marine jacket and some women started looking at her funny. Then one of them said to her that she shouldn't be out because she might have the virus. She should be at home.

You should still be well stocked with ketchup

 

Oh I am aware of how easy it would be to defeat the mechanical lock just looking at pictures but this homeowner ain' t going there. I do not want to injury anyone including myself lol

Bullshit. When an alternative power source is introduced into the grid, it energizes the secondary of the transformer which creates line voltage into the grid a lineman is working on which should be denergized. So you are placing workers @ risk of injury or death because of your Harry homeowner cheap install. God forbid a linemen gets hurt because they WILL find the source of suspect power. Again each to their own.

 

Dan .... same here , had someone ask me why I was out in public and mentioned that I didn't look good as I walked into a store using my Rollator walker

 

Figured out the toilet paper thing with this Corona Virus . When one person sneezes 10 people shit their pants.peckerwood quote of the day

 

what does Mercury Marine have to do with Wuhan China

 

I know the backfeed issues..

What I’m saying is someone that runs a “suicide cable” should be arrested. Someone that has a “secure lockout” has no reason to touch a front panel. If he starts playing with a box then he zaps himself then it’s all on him.


I ran my cable to the gen box
I hooked the box up
Finished the routing to the breaker box.
While the guy hooked up the box I installed the lockout on the panel.
He put it together, checked it and there it stays.
No way to bypass it unless you screw with it.
It is secure.
At some point anything can be defeated.

 

No it’s 100

 

Mmmmmmmmmmm

 

Mebbe it's some sort of subliminal message.

Remember the fuss about P&G's devil man symbol?

 

Ok,

Truth be told , our kids can be bigger smart a$$'s than us....

Our daughter just calmly told my wife "If & when" the USA goes completely "off the track" to just pack a bag and we can go live with her...................



In China

Their lives are back to "normal" and neighborhood markets are back up & running.... elementary schools are still on line only till end of March..

 

You guys might be going back to printing Sears and Roebuck catalogs so that folks can have back up toilet paper.

 

should I stay at home?

 

I have no idea what will happen if someone at the shop gets it.
Not the time of year for a vacation. And I’m wondering if they would refuse normal vacations since
We already took our “time off”. Or business as usual since we are not in close contact with each other.

 

That'll probably work better than the electronic version.

 

Forty two plus years in the electrical trade I have installed many 3 phase back up gen-set installs from water treatment plants, IT ups systems, schools, nursing homes. Personal favorite was a nursing home directly before y2k. Install specs required upon power loss, backup gen be up running and automatically transfered no longer than 17 seconds. My install was online in 13 seconds. Point is I know backup power and it can't be half assed. Insist your installer gets proper inspections from JHA. Just a thought.
