In this episode we dig a trench from the power pole to the shed to run conduit. We have to go underneath some really big roots so the 18" requirement was exceeded by a great deal. The conduit is more than 24" deep at some points.
Big thanks to my niece, Brenna Tomlinson, for volunteering to help me with this. Pulling wire was a lot easier than I thought it would be, but I'm sure if I'd tried to do it by myself it would have been a fiasco.

Here's the entire subtitle file:
1
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:37,934
Hi, my name is Barbara. I'm a blank builder and a blogger
and I'm on a mission to rebuild and repurpose
2
00:02:37,934 --> 00:02:42,767
this 71 year old aircraft construction aluminum trailer
home, Ally Mo
3
00:02:42,767 --> 00:02:45,033
Today I'm working with my niece Brenna.
4
00:02:45,033 --> 00:02:47,834
I went to Tampa yesterday and picked her up from college
5
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:50,834
And we're going to see if we can get some work done today
6
00:02:58,266 --> 00:03:03,333
Hi, I'm Brenna. I'm a university student and a volunteer
7
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:06,333
My power comes in to that transformer
8
00:03:06,333 --> 00:03:09,333
And then through this wire to that pole
9
00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:12,333
And then down to that box where I have a 200 amp breaker
10
00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:16,467
So we have to connect from there over to the shed
11
00:03:17,834 --> 00:03:21,800
and I've dug part of the trench but it was hard work. It
hurt my back.
12
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,800
So we're going to teach Brenna how to dig a trench
13
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,200
Have you ever dug a trench before, Brenna?
14
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Never
15
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,900
You ever use a shovel?
Yes
16
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:30,800
How much?
Not often
17
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,166
Ok, well, she's gonna learn
18
00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:40,700
Ok, Brenna. Put your gloves on.
Alright. Let's do it
19
00:03:43,734 --> 00:03:48,567
Alright. This is a shovel. You put the pointy end in the
ground
Yeah
20
00:03:48,567 --> 00:03:50,100
Then it gets a bit technical
21
00:03:51,033 --> 00:03:53,033
I will explain
22
00:03:53,033 --> 00:03:57,500
What I do to cut the sod is I use this square shovel
23
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,500
I put it in the ground and then I jump on it
24
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,100
To cut a little slot
25
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,100
Then I do the other side
26
00:04:15,934 --> 00:04:18,166
That looks satisfying
27
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:21,166
Yes. I thought you would like this job
28
00:04:21,166 --> 00:04:24,166
Now the next thing you do is you take the little shovel
29
00:04:25,867 --> 00:04:28,867
And you empty out the hole
30
00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:31,867
All the way in?
31
00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:36,633
Well, what I've been doing is I sort of make a long trench
32
00:04:36,633 --> 00:04:43,033
Then I sorta loosen up the sides. I use this shovel to sort
of slice down the sides of the trench
33
00:04:43,033 --> 00:04:46,033
Then use that shovel just to get the dirt out
34
00:04:46,033 --> 00:04:51,266
So my thinking is that I'll go along and slice the sod
35
00:04:51,266 --> 00:04:53,100
And keep loosening it up for you
36
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,100
And then use that shovel and you'll be getting the dirt
37
00:07:24,033 --> 00:07:27,533
We hit something. What is this?
Conduit. It's taking the power to my house
38
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Are you serious?
39
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,233
Yeah, not very deep is it?
No, it's like a hand deep!
40
00:07:35,233 --> 00:07:41,633
So much for that 18" we were planning for
Holy shit! Yeah, look at how many roots we've hit already
41
00:07:41,633 --> 00:07:44,633
If we only did that deep we'd be done already, wouldn't we?
Right?
42
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,033
I'd kind of like it to be deeper than that though
43
00:07:48,033 --> 00:07:55,166
That's not right. My electrician must've taken a shortcut
there when I was at work
44
00:07:55,166 --> 00:08:05,633
Yeah, that goes from there to that panel, it's that left
pipe, and it goes to the house
45
00:08:06,667 --> 00:08:13,266
Alright so now we need to make our... we just need to move
this over
46
00:08:13,266 --> 00:08:17,934
So that our new conduit can go on this side of it and to the
shed
47
00:09:09,533 --> 00:09:11,100
Whoo!
48
00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:17,600
We're getting right up under this root
49
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
We're gonna go under that one, huh?
Hell yeah!
50
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:27,934
Gonna make this work
51
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:29,367
Ooo, look at that!
52
00:09:34,233 --> 00:09:36,433
It's a cicada
53
00:09:36,734 --> 00:09:39,000
Do they live in the dirt?
Yeah
54
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Wow
You know those ones that live 17 years under the dirt?
55
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:23,500
Whoo!
56
00:11:24,633 --> 00:11:26,500
Go further!
57
00:11:31,033 --> 00:11:32,867
This is a gopher burrow.
58
00:11:32,867 --> 00:11:36,567
These tortoises are a keystone species in the longleaf
ecosystem
59
00:11:36,567 --> 00:11:40,166
When she comes out again watch the condensation on her
carapace
60
00:11:40,166 --> 00:11:42,767
Let's back that up
61
00:11:42,767 --> 00:11:46,533
Watch it again. Nice
62
00:11:46,533 --> 00:11:51,934
They dig all the way to the water table so it's humid and
cool at the bottom of the tunnel
63
00:11:53,166 --> 00:11:57,600
This gopher is smaller than the other ones that live in my
yard and they can't fit in this hole
64
00:11:58,767 --> 00:12:02,567
I saw stump gopher try it. I walked by and startled her
65
00:12:02,567 --> 00:12:06,633
She dove for this hole and went >thunk<. Stuck.
66
00:12:06,633 --> 00:12:10,734
She fits fine in her own hole under the stump. It's only
about 10 feet away
67
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,333
This gopher dug her tunnel just wide enough to turn around,
but it's not high enough for the bigger gophers to get in
68
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,700
These guys graze on grass, like horses. And their burrows
smell like a barn
69
00:12:30,066 --> 00:12:34,734
They poop down in that hole and all sorts of insects live in
their compost
70
00:12:34,734 --> 00:12:38,800
From time to time they push it up to the burrow apron
71
00:14:19,533 --> 00:14:28,767
So right now we're digging out this hole with a trowel
underneath this big root
72
00:14:28,767 --> 00:14:32,767
Because the conduit probably won't fit
73
00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:43,200
How sticky is this clear stuff I see running out of these
roots?
74
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:49,233
It's very sticky but it smells really good. It's fun to play
with
75
00:14:49,233 --> 00:14:52,233
How do you get it off when it gets on your skin?
76
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:58,100
Some sort of really strong alcohol and a paper towel
77
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,266
This big ass wire is what goes to the lab
78
00:15:13,266 --> 00:15:16,633
And it's live 100 Amps
79
00:15:16,633 --> 00:15:22,767
So I'm trying not to poke my screwdriver up into the exposed
metal bits
80
00:15:22,767 --> 00:15:27,600
But I'm trying to not break this little thin ring
81
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,600
And only get the circle out
82
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,367
But the little ring keeps bending and the circle doesn't
want to come out
83
00:15:55,233 --> 00:15:58,233
Yay! We did it!
84
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:02,700
Damn hot damn
85
00:16:22,433 --> 00:16:25,433
These wires are just in the way
86
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:35,200
Tight?
Hell yeah
87
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,200
Alright
88
00:17:28,133 --> 00:17:31,133
Be sure it's pointing the right way
89
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:43,333
I want it to be plumb
90
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:46,333
I want this part to be.... like if it was a string it would
hang straight down
91
00:17:46,567 --> 00:17:49,567
OK
That's what plumb means
92
00:17:53,533 --> 00:17:57,166
We have to get a cloth or something because this has a bunch
of sand in it
93
00:17:59,934 --> 00:18:06,066
And I have sand on my hands so you're going to have to do
it. I'll let you get here
94
00:18:06,066 --> 00:18:08,600
Get me that glue
95
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,600
That smelly smelly glue
96
00:18:13,867 --> 00:18:16,367
Do you know how that stuff works?
No
97
00:18:16,367 --> 00:18:20,700
It's kinda cool. It's a strong solvent like toluene
98
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:25,233
I proceeded to explain to Brenna how pipe dope works while
banging the camera with the conduit
99
00:18:25,233 --> 00:18:32,066
PVC cement is about 20% PVC, the same actual material as the
pipe.
100
00:18:32,066 --> 00:18:37,133
It's about half tetrahydrofuran, a water soluble precursor
to polymerization
101
00:18:37,133 --> 00:18:42,166
This is a new one on me since its not a solvent they sell in
cans at Home Depot
102
00:18:42,166 --> 00:18:48,934
Same with cyclohexanone. That's up to 15% of the can. It's
huge in the manufacture of nylon
103
00:18:48,934 --> 00:18:55,200
The rest is the famililar -one suffix solvents. Acetone and
Methyl ethyl ketone
104
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,300
There is no toluene. I was wrong about that. There's no
-enes at all.
105
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:07,734
Anyway, the proportion of solvents are more than what's
required to dissolve the PVC in the can. There's extra to
soften the pipe too
106
00:19:07,734 --> 00:19:13,767
Then as the ketone solvents evaporate there's nothing left
behind but polyvinylchloride, which is in fact, a polymer
107
00:19:13,767 --> 00:19:19,066
So that's why it's called a solvent weld. It's not a glue at
all
108
00:19:19,066 --> 00:19:25,567
Glue sticks things together with another thing. Welds stick
them together with more of the same substance
109
00:19:25,567 --> 00:19:31,834
We don't really have a good word for that. Hand me that can
of precursors to polymerization is a kind of a mouthful
110
00:19:31,834 --> 00:19:34,600
Especially after you breathed it for a minute
111
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:26,834
Ooo that's satisfying looking. Very nice
112
00:20:58,967 --> 00:21:01,967
Ok, well the thing is
113
00:21:01,967 --> 00:21:04,967
Is this on the side a little bit?
114
00:21:04,967 --> 00:21:07,967
Yeah. Maybe we need to just
You need a trowel
115
00:21:07,967 --> 00:21:10,967
Yeah. We need to make it wider that way
116
00:21:10,967 --> 00:21:12,934
Yeah, kinda widen out the side a little
117
00:21:12,934 --> 00:21:15,934
I'll pull it back
118
00:21:22,567 --> 00:21:25,567
My arm isn't that long
119
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:37,000
I'm going to carve out the side a little bit. That'll make
it easier
120
00:21:42,533 --> 00:21:45,533
Alright, go ahead and push it and let's see
121
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:49,300
Wow, it went through a lot easier, right?
122
00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:52,900
Oh, yeah. Is it all through?
I mean, it's through past where we need it to go
123
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:56,300
So we're good right? Look. Come look
Oh, ok, cool, I'm just bumping it into the dirt
124
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:58,667
Yeah, you're just bumping it in right here
Sorry
125
00:21:58,667 --> 00:22:01,166
So, I mean, it's fine, I mean, I can
126
00:22:01,166 --> 00:22:05,467
Alright, let's vacuum out the dirt
Well, you packed it with a lot of dirt. So take this out
127
00:22:05,467 --> 00:22:09,700
out and dump it, cause, I mean, who knows. It could be
packed in there
128
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:13,233
for a foot
Yeah, and now we can get it in there without getting a lot
of dirt in
129
00:22:32,233 --> 00:22:34,633
Alright, let's do it. Let's try it. Yeah?
130
00:22:34,633 --> 00:22:36,800
Yeah
I mean it's one shot
131
00:22:38,033 --> 00:22:40,166
Yeah
Yeah, you get one shot
132
00:22:40,166 --> 00:22:43,166
Or we fuck up our whole lives
Hahahaha!
133
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:44,166
Ok
134
00:22:45,133 --> 00:22:48,133
Aunt B, you're getting dirt all in your fucking thing
135
00:22:49,934 --> 00:22:52,033
That works good
136
00:22:52,033 --> 00:22:56,633
Ok. So we'll just leave the shovel there
Wait, let's get the other shovel
137
00:22:56,633 --> 00:22:59,867
I don't like, I don't know
138
00:22:59,867 --> 00:23:02,867
Ohhhh
139
00:23:07,767 --> 00:23:10,767
I think put the shovel a little bit closer to the
140
00:23:11,533 --> 00:23:14,533
That's better
141
00:23:29,834 --> 00:23:31,133
K
142
00:23:32,233 --> 00:23:35,233
Ready?
umhmhmhm yeaaah
143
00:24:04,033 --> 00:24:06,266
Did it do it?
Yeah
144
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:08,967
Push as hard as you can. Pushpushpush
145
00:24:08,967 --> 00:24:11,333
I think that's as far as it's gonna go
146
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:16,633
I think it's glued though!
Ok
147
00:24:16,633 --> 00:24:18,667
Yay!
Here, do you want to switch?
148
00:24:18,667 --> 00:24:23,200
I'm going to keep holding it for a minute until the glue
sorta gets stuck
149
00:24:40,433 --> 00:24:43,433
Here, you do it.
No, you're doing good
150
00:24:50,734 --> 00:24:53,734
Let's do another one
There's a bunch of dirt on that one
151
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,967
This is a Southeastern Pocket Gopher
152
00:25:24,967 --> 00:25:29,533
I have never before in my life seen one of these actually
making one of these mounds.
153
00:25:29,533 --> 00:25:35,800
They're nocturnal and subterranean and don't usually poke
their nose out in daylight
154
00:25:35,834 --> 00:25:41,667
This is what people think you're talking about if you say
gopher in most parts of the world, but not here
155
00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:48,500
Here in the southeast, gopher means the tortoise. But the
tortoise was actually named for the rodent
156
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:52,967
These are always called pocket gophers or sometimes
sandy-mounders
157
00:25:52,967 --> 00:26:00,433
Sandy-mounders becomes salamander for some people, but I
think that's really going in the wrong direction
158
00:26:00,433 --> 00:26:03,633
If you're talking about a turtle and people are picturing a
rodent
159
00:26:03,633 --> 00:26:07,834
it doesn't help to talk about a rodent and have them picture
an amphibian
160
00:26:09,967 --> 00:26:13,867
Pocket gophers are solitary. They live alone underground
161
00:26:13,867 --> 00:26:19,333
When spring comes males will dig a long straight tunnel
hoping to cross the tunnel of a female
162
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:24,533
I like seeing the lines of sandy mounds in the woods,
guessing where the next one will be in the morning
163
00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:32,367
Pine snakes spend most of their life in pocket gopher
tunnels
164
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:37,900
I have never seen a pine snake, and pocket gopher mounds are
more common than ever
165
00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:41,800
Since a pine snake usually eats about one pocket gopher a
month,
166
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,400
I kind of wonder if there are any around here? Did something
happen to the pine snakes?
167
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,400
Nobody knows
168
00:29:41,734 --> 00:29:42,500
What?
169
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:44,200
I dropped the screw
I got it
170
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,166
Down in the conduit
171
00:29:48,934 --> 00:29:52,467
Oh well, you'll have to find another one
I do actually
172
00:30:41,934 --> 00:30:45,266
That noise is not going to work for me, vacuum cleaner!
173
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Yeah!
174
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,200
I bought this vacuum cleaner in 1990
175
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:29,233
Aww, it's your pet vacuum?
176
00:31:30,266 --> 00:31:31,200
Bye!
177
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,533
Professional ball winder
178
00:32:04,533 --> 00:32:07,533
Let's take a closeup of that. Pretty cool.
179
00:32:08,133 --> 00:32:09,567
String ball
180
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,600
It's very beautiful
181
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:10,066
Brenna and I took today off
182
00:34:12,433 --> 00:34:15,433
We just did other stuff besides work on this
183
00:34:15,433 --> 00:34:18,834
But I looked at the weather forecast and it might rain
tonight
184
00:34:18,834 --> 00:34:22,367
so I've got to get this wire inside this box
185
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,467
and close up that conduit body
186
00:34:29,967 --> 00:34:33,600
but that's all I'm gonna do. I am still tired
187
00:34:43,367 --> 00:34:50,066
I got 65 feet of this 8 gauge wire
188
00:34:53,533 --> 00:34:55,700
But I think I got less of the 10 gauge
189
00:35:16,066 --> 00:35:19,066
This old wire is my old well wire
190
00:35:19,066 --> 00:35:20,800
I replaced it
191
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,800
Pppth ate a bug
192
00:35:23,967 --> 00:35:28,967
At the end of this I'll get this wire inside this conduit
and remove this extra scrap stuff
193
00:35:28,967 --> 00:35:30,934
But that's enough for today.
194
00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:35,100
Oh, wait. I gotta put this back in
195
00:35:37,967 --> 00:35:42,934
There's still a string in the conduit
196
00:35:42,934 --> 00:35:46,567
So if I need to pull more wire I can pull another rope
through
197
00:35:46,567 --> 00:35:49,834
to pull more wire. So I'm just going to keep this ball in
here
198
00:35:49,834 --> 00:35:52,834
I don't think it'll fall in the hole. Yeah, that's good
199
00:36:06,066 --> 00:36:09,066
Alright rain! Do your worst!
200
00:36:14,333 --> 00:36:18,367
I've been avoiding this because I don't like working with
big wire. It hurts my fingers
201
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,433
But I was waiting for it to rain all day and it never
started raining
202
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,200
So now I feel like I oughta get some work done
203
00:36:28,333 --> 00:36:30,400
I don't even know how long you're supposed to
204
00:36:44,467 --> 00:36:47,467
OK, I have my red and black wires hooked up
205
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,100
How'd I do?
206
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:53,633
Here's my neutral
207
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,734
I'm guessing these two little knobby things are what this is
supposed to go in between?
208
00:37:30,867 --> 00:37:33,867
Oh yeah, nice, it holds it
209
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,400
Now, the screw that I need for that is down in the bottom of
the conduit
210
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,400
I found some big old stainless steel screws
211
00:37:46,834 --> 00:37:49,834
Kinda hard to screw in, but...
212
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:52,900
that'll work
213
00:37:59,533 --> 00:38:06,166
It took me longer to find these screws than I spent trying
to get the other one out of the conduit
214
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:08,834
Wish that had worked
215
00:38:13,834 --> 00:38:16,834
I do compliment the designers of this box
216
00:38:17,533 --> 00:38:20,533
For at least making all the screws in it the same
217
00:38:21,867 --> 00:38:27,133
So I can make this part work
218
00:38:34,533 --> 00:38:37,533
Today I'm gonna wire up this panel box
219
00:39:04,867 --> 00:39:09,567
Alright. So now everything is safe from here down
220
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:27,300
I wonder what you're supposed to do with a hole
221
00:39:30,266 --> 00:39:32,266
After you take stuff out of it?
222
00:39:32,266 --> 00:39:34,934
What am I supposed to fill that up with?
223
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:41,834
Alright, so here's the... I gotta get this wire in this
conduit
224
00:39:41,834 --> 00:39:46,000
somehow. And I've found it difficult to get the old wire out
225
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Not sure how I'm gonna get the new wire in
226
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,133
This screw is totally destroyed
227
00:40:01,266 --> 00:40:03,700
Crap. You know what?
228
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,166
Fine. Be that way
229
00:40:16,934 --> 00:40:21,567
If it's going to hurt my joints it might as well not give me
actual
230
00:40:22,333 --> 00:40:25,333
break-the-skin kind of wounds as well
231
00:40:26,533 --> 00:40:29,533
Gotta try to minimize my damage here
232
00:40:46,934 --> 00:40:49,600
This giant fucking wire goes to my lab
233
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,834
It used to be the 200 amp service to the house that burned
down in 1984
234
00:40:54,834 --> 00:40:57,233
I just reused that same wire
235
00:40:57,233 --> 00:41:01,233
because it's giant fuckin wire. I'm not wasting that
236
00:41:05,967 --> 00:41:08,367
So this is my breaker
237
00:41:08,934 --> 00:41:12,133
I'm jumping ahead of myself
238
00:41:12,133 --> 00:41:15,133
i need to know
239
00:41:23,767 --> 00:41:27,800
Anybody remember which way this went? Does it matter?
240
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:10,300
Gotta punch these out. Derp!
241
00:42:17,667 --> 00:42:20,667
Check it again. Yeah, that's the right one
242
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:31,300
Now that this is in that's so tight it's hard to get it to
get in the right spot
243
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,800
Ok, let's see what happens
244
00:42:39,967 --> 00:42:42,967
Nothing. Good
245
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:50,066
Should I turn this on? I'm scared to
246
00:42:55,967 --> 00:43:00,233
Good. Nothing. They're turned off in the shed
247
00:43:12,834 --> 00:43:15,800
Alright, that's the refrigerator and freezer back on
248
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,800
Turn the air conditioning back on
249
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:26,333
Alright, let's see where we are on this side of things
250
00:43:26,333 --> 00:43:29,333
I'll turn this on and hope nothing goes boom
251
00:43:30,333 --> 00:43:32,333
Ok, nothing went boom
252
00:43:33,066 --> 00:43:35,400
Reset that
253
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,400
Plug that in and see what we get
254
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,333
Correct
255
00:43:40,333 --> 00:43:45,100
These two are lit up and this little code here says that's
correct, so
256
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:48,633
I have power! In the shed.
257
00:43:48,633 --> 00:43:52,233
I can plug my extension cord in right there and run my drill
press
258
00:43:52,233 --> 00:43:57,066
Cool. I think I'll do that
259
00:44:07,734 --> 00:44:11,133
Here comes the rest of my diagnostics. Will it charge?
260
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:18,100
My brother took a road trip up here and found the nearby
supercharger out of service
261
00:44:19,133 --> 00:44:26,000
He plugged his computerized cord into my new 50 Amp 240 Volt
receptable and it said, NOMINAL*
262
00:44:28,367 --> 00:44:33,834
His car went from 9% to 80% in the time it took to do our
day's projects. That'll be the next episode
263
00:44:35,266 --> 00:44:41,367
Thanks so much to Brenna, the best volunteer. And to Harry,
for having kids when I coudn't be arsed to
264
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,000
That's all for the Beachton Buck Rivet Report. Go buck
yourself.
