Tom Cancelleri Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I was cutting some pvc conduit,and I had a flashback to the which brand makes the best woodworking saw that is good for cutting pvc. I'm cutting it with my ryoba double sided saw. The rip tooth configuration works best. Dry fitting the pipe before any wire is pulled. Debating on whether I want to glue it all. I'm voting no glue. My garage is pretty high in relation to the surrounding area. Everything runs down hill so I'm not concerned about water proofing the wires in sealed conduit.

Check your local electrical code. It probably requires gluing the conduit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is gluing it and having everything in place before I use the shop in it's new configuration. I could always go back and glue after I've made sure everything is 100% good to go.

Tom Cancelleri Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I glued up the vertical runs that go to the boxes. I forget how braincell killingly strong PVC cement is. 6 joints glued and my head is spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodger. Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Its against code to use pvc conduit indoors here in Ontario. Everything has to be metallic conduit or EMT. The argument is for fire safety and poisonous gas I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna finish up the electrical before I start the piping. Been really busy this week so progress has slowed a bit. Probably another big weekend push.

Then I read a few scientific studies and it turns out that it's almost impossible to get rid of horrible things with ground meat because you are literally grinding the bacteria/e-coli/etc from the surface of the meat into the middle. On a steak - doesn't matter because that stuff is on the outside and gets destroyed when it's cooked. So unless you dump hideous chemicals into ground meat, it's not really ever going to be safe to eat less than 160 degrees. The solution being - grind your own meat with the proper fat content to make an awesome juicy burger, and do it from good cuts of meat. That way when it's cooked to 160 degrees, it still tastes awesome. Therefore I bought a grinder. And that's my meat story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, as long as it isn't ground you can eat it medium rare as long as it's held at 138 degrees for I can't remember how many seconds. I usually go to 140 though. 150 if it's for my wife. She sees pink in pork she assumes death. Nevermind that pinkness is no longer an accurate indicator of doneness in any meat due to the chemicals they add.

Guest Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I usually cook pork chops to 135 and let them rest off heat about 10 minutes. Anything more than that and I would prefer to eat a handful of planer shavings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
