“””wired””” speaking of caffeine… but today I’m running a new 20 amp. circuit for my main tank group…

so, yes I’m “wired” but today, since it’s raining I’m running a couple new 20 amp circuits… one to the outside screened porch, since I added the tank out there, the only power tags off an old house circuit, one going to my main tank group , that tags off 2 old house circuits… all 3 of these old circuits are 15 amp service… I’m afraid the screened porch will blow the breaker if I run my shop vac, and both tank heaters kick on at the same time, and last winter when the furnace went out, and all the heaters were running in my main tank group, I tripped breakers, and had to run extension cords to other circuits… again these 3 old circuits are all 15 amp, and with running new heavier wire, these 2 new circuits. will both be 20 amp…

glad I had extra spaces in the box…
 
Electricity is a precious ting for fishkeepers. The slots available the box in my garage were worth every penny.
 
yep, really for anything…I’ve got 2 spots on the left side of the added on box, and 4 spots on the right side … I added on a box, when we put our addition on years ago…

things sure have changed… I needed 100 feet of 10-2 wire… last bought about 10 years ago, lots more expensive today, and now it’s locked up, and need a particular associate to unlock it for you, and they follow you up to the cash register, to make sure you pay for it… less haste to buy a gun here now??? I also didn’t see any ground fault outlets anymore I now I had to buy GFI breakers for the whole circuit…
