    Adding breakers to panel

    Probably your best bet especially if you don't have much experience with electrical design/theory. I got lucky and have a good friend who has been a certified electrician for a lot of years and has taught me a whole hell of a lot that I thought I knew before lol.. As far as the service, if your...

    Adding breakers to panel

    What type of future work are we talking here? Looks like that's only a 100 amp service, which honestly isn't quite sufficient for today's demands, however it will work as long as your not planning something like say, a heat pump unit, electric furnace etc...

    soldering near wall

    As far as cutting, as neal stated, get yourself a mini-pipe cutter... Now, as for sweating the joint, this is probably the point where the pro's on here are gonna beat me with a stick... lol But, when I replumbed my shower, I took an old license plate, and a piece of fiberglass insulation...

    Hello from Northern WV

    Thanks Neal... and not to rain on anyones parade but uhhhh.... a little late on the whole "ripping down your whole house" part.. lmao I would have to write a novel in order to state everything I've done to this house since we bought it!

    NO HEATER at all yet; Tiny Log Cabin.. the options are?

    Just an idea here.. my initial thoughts when reading this, were the idea of installing an LP furnace that are built for pop-up campers.. They operate off of a 20lb or bigger lp cylinder which makes transporting the building with heater about as simple as could be, are thermostatically...

    Hello from Northern WV

    Hey everyone, first time to your forum and after about 5 minutes I decided to register so I could not only have other DIY'ers to talk to about projects and such, but also to have somewhere relevant to share my personal experiences over the years of doing all my own home repair/maintenance and...
