    homeowner dyi project

    This is a homeowner dyi electrical project. I took these photos while doing a service call on the furnace. I did post these a couple years ago but thought it was worth showing again. Enjoy

    Why the hell would anybody run wires like that?
    doesn't he know, even if he didn't wanna use conduit, you can cut excess wire off!

    And the power poll is just scary.

    It might be a good idea to report that.. On a sad note, it'd probably prevent a pretty good BBQ

    Don't know what part of the country you're from, but if I had to guess from those pics, looks like Wisconsin

    In this case DYI would have to stand for "Do Yourself In"

    I could swear i have seen pictures just like these on this site before, only it was 2 panels side-by-side with heavy gauge feeders running between them.
    To get the degree symbol ° on Windows hold down the Alt key and type 0176 or 248 on the keyboard number pad. It is also available via the character map, and on Windows 8.1 devices with a touchscreen via the on screen keyboard.

    There is no "E" in either BluVac or Blu-ray Disc.

    If you are the type where the painting is more important than the frame, or you just like movies, join me in listening to the widescreen.org podcast.
