Sweet Geeebussss !! that didn't work out

[MichaelHarris]

I ran electrical to my shop I built and when i turned on my band saw breakers started flipping, caution and warning lights flashing, looked like the Apollo 13 dashboard. they have dashboards right?
I may want to consult a professional.

Don't laugh, some of you on are my DU Christmas list and might get one of those presents like a macaroni Elvis, the kinda gift where your mouth says "Gee thanks" but your mind says, "what the hell am I gonna do with this?"


Better yet, you could get matcom's gift, an inlayed dogs playing poker picture. He's just gonna love it.

With the crackdown on porn I'm almost afraid of using the word "bare"

I think I need a seperate breaker box. Or dig a trench and run a separate line. I have no idea what Imma doing. On a positive note the shop looks good, even without electricity.

It's weird, the guy who built my house said during closing that he ran 220 for a hot tub if I ever wanted one. I've looked and looked and it's just not back there. Guess I was gyped.
