@UncleBuck
My plans call for 3-2x12’s as beams on my deck. The span chart calls for it for the spans.
I just had some of the zmax hangers deivered yesterday, doing all PT for the framing, 9 i just picked up. 375 bucks. I need another 10. That’s just the god damn god damn beam hangers! The PT is gonna cost a small fortune. Still not even sure what i’m gonna do for the decking. Waiting on prices to lower.
$375 for this box fucking lame

Both my shower drain and kitchen sink has been pretty clogged lately, even after bottles of Drano. I decided to break out the big gun - my new crank drum snake drain cleaner. I watched a few YT vids, and started on the tub first as I'm SO tired of standing in water. It was quite challenging with the immobile leg, but I went slowly. I took off the overflow cap and turned the drum to feed the snake as far as it could go. I ran across a little resistance, but after working it and retracting the snake I expected there to be some nasty shit dredged up. But all that was on it was some black, smelly liquid. I decided to go down the water drain, which they did not recommend, and I didn't really bring up anything from there, either. But when I turned on the hot water it ALL RAN FREELY DOWN THE DRAIN! I must have knocked some huge blockage loose, and it simply fell down the main pipe! How nice, I deserve it. Can't wait to take a shower now. I tried on the kitchen sink, but no go. Then I tried a plunging method I watched by tucking in the flange of the plunger so it makes an air/water tight seal with the standing water. This time I pulled up some nasty shit, but I totally cleared the drain! Nice.
I'm cleaning up because my piano buddy is coming by to hang and play chamber music for the first time since June when I first injured myself. I'm so excited to hang - single malt, beer, weed, awesome conversation, and sight reading great classical music. Couldn't think of a better Saturday night...

Sooooooooooooo,
You pretty much have to go with aluminum. Pretty typical but especially right now. Copper is fucking nuts.
100’ on the dot so didn’t need to upsize for voltage drop of 3x 4/0 aluminum, 1x 2/0 for ground.
Would have costed a million dollars for 2/0 copper and a #1 ground


Was 700 for the wire which is still fucking crazy

Nothing is cheap these days. The $700 you spent on wire more me almost cry.. Hard to believe that is what aluminum costs! No wonder the neighbor ladies are always hounding us for cans.

I would seriously like to know what the markup for copper would have been.

Shit, even though i’m well within the “fill chart” for the 2” pipe, i wanted to make it a little easier to pull. Checked out what the #1 copper for ground would be. 400 bucks. Fuck that shit

You have to run a ground to the source not put in a copper spike at the box?
