copper and aluminum

Jul 13, 2010 12 Replies

I dug up the old 2/O that I severed 10 years ago when I was digging. It was corroded back 2" inside the insulation. I spliced the two aluminum wires with a copper split bolt connector, tested all wires, turned on the power and it works. Now all I have to do is fill in the hole. This will free up three #10 wires for the generator. The generator is in the barn and the main disconnect for the house and barn is in the house.



Which one of you will bite this "hook"?

Trolling, trolling.

We're hoping we're seeing the next Darwin Awards winner!

"Gee, I remember when him from way back when...."

Did you put some antioxidant grease in the bonding ? good idea for Aluminum.

And Jamie wins the "first real response to the troll" award. Good going Jamie.

Nonsense. The Jon Giffen that lives in Bellaire, Ohio is no troll, he's a kook, so it has to be the "first real response to the kook" award. Good going, Jamie!

Kook? That's no way to talk to someone who gets his circuits designed by God!

I'm not sure we can tell or describe the difference between a troll and a kook in Jon's case...

The twerp is inelegible, already has kids.

Kids? That has nothing to do with killing yourself, by being exceedingly stupid. Take a look at the Darwin Awards website.

Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

theres a reason for the name, someone stupid killing themself before they have the chance to spread their genes helps evolution, thus the name Darwin :)

If someone is stupid enough to earn the award, it's likely their spawn will do the same. :)

The only questions are: Why are Bill Sloman, Dimbulb and Bret Cahil still alive?

Which god? Apparently not the one who created the universe, and confined man to the laws of physics.
