CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

Now I have a "sling" in which to carry flakes of hay....sheesh.

I think my solution will include a rake, scoop, and wheelbarrow from now on....and changing clothes....even if I have to do laundry myself.....

You know Fred... on further thought, I would have to seriously consider not doing a danged thing to improve the property as in capital improvements or even basic improvements until such time as the court case is settled one way or the other. No way I'd being throwing personal time, money, or effort into improving something for the sole benefit of someone trying to cheat me out of what is rightfully mine.

Are AC and well pump both 240 Volts?

 

[CntryBoy777]

I agree with ya Joe....for the most part.....especially when it comes to putting any major expense in the place....but, doing this wire is something I'm doing for my Dad and it'll cost me less than $50 for the material and a little bit of labor. As best as I am able to, I like to stay busy piddling with something anyway....and if we do stay here, it is 1 less thing that has been put off that really needs to get done. In my mind, I no longer have a sister and that will never change....but, I don't let her dictate and control my thoughts anymore....cause she certainly isn't worth the south end of a north bound mule....I am who I am and enjoy the few around me that are....and I really enjoy all the friends and comradery that is found here on BYH.....so, tho things are still up in the air as far as ownership is concerned....my thoughts are to get back to doing things that make me feel good and that I enjoy.....and being appreciated for being just me, makes all this other crap just a little bearable. You and a host of others here have truly been a Blessing to communicate with and are cherished much more than ya will ever know.....

Are AC and well pump both 240 Volts?

Yes they are GB....and on a 30amp breaker

 

[greybeard]

Breakers are not sized for the appliance, and aren't designed to protect equipment or people; the breaker's only purpose is to protect the wiring going to the appliance.to keep it's insulation from melting and burning the house down.
30A breaker is for 10ga copper wire.
If one of the appliances is fed thru alum wire, that appliance needs no larger than a 25 amp breaker.

Feeding 2 or more major appliances from one breaker is among the biggest no-noes in residential wiring rules, and doubly true for 240v loads.

Boy!!...don't I know it....I'm trying to get it rectified as quickly as I can and if a thousand other things would quit coming along and demanding attention I could get it done. In fact, tho I've never heard your voice...I heard ya yesterday as I was fixing the spigot....I was trying to stay focused, but these danged "time traps" just keep blowing up in my face.....

 

[greybeard]

I assume it wasn't wired in initially just last month tho.

 

[CntryBoy777]

It has never been wired properly at all....first my Dad wouldn't do it....then, my electrician brother was going to do it....then, my so-called sister was to take care of it....and now I'm not waiting on the empty promises and others waiting to find a round "tuit" to get it done.....the others' attitude is if it works don't mess with it....but, it is where Joyce and I live....for now....so, will be getting it done when I'm able to be outside working.....

 

[CntryBoy777]

Look who just stepped into the world of "high fashion"......
it is safe to say that she does not like them....at All!!....
