I will be using 12/3 Romex to make two separate circuits. As you know, 12/3 is 20 amp wire, for two separate circuits. There is a red wire (hot) for one circuit. There is a black wire (hot) for another circuit. There is a white wire (neutral) for both circuits. In other words, the black wire and the red wire both share the common white wire. Let’s say that one circuit draws 15 amps (red wire) and the second circuit draws another 15 amps (black wire). That is 30 amps. However, they both share the common white wire. The white wire is now carrying substantially in excess of 20 amps. In this case, it is carrying 30 amps and at full load from both circuits, it would have to carry 40 amps. Add it up. It means that the white wire is carrying the voltage from both individual 20 amp circuits (40 amps). The white wire would melt and catch fire instantly. Hence, 12/3 circuits and 12/3 Romex seem dangerous --- but they are used all the time. I don’t understand.

Typically SAE 30 only is recommended, use of multi grade oils such as 10W-40 voids warranty.

Is it purchasable for home use? Or is there a service that can be called to do this?..

I am building a road through some heavily timbered areas, and I am curious as to how to kill back some of the fast growing brush and the many saplings that will border the roadway effectively and quickly.

Brush hogging is effective, but I want some of the areas to maintain a very natural state of fallen branches and overgrown bushes, but I don't want them to take over my road ways.

I have one floor vent that puts out this septic smell when the furnace comes on. I was told that it may be caused from this particular floor vent being flooded at one time. The Stink pipe and all that is fine and nothing is leaking. The smell only comes out of this one particular vent even though there are several. Also how much does this flexible ducting cost? Ballpark. Thanks for your help.

examples of recycling clothes: turn your favourite old jeans into shopping bags, handbags, mail bags etc.

Change the style of your t-shirts and redesign them into sleeveless running gears or a tube top.

add extra embellishments to your old blouses or t-shirts to give it a new look or change the colour of your blouses with dylon, tie-dye (you can never go wrong with tie-dye)

cut your old towels and make them into floor rugs & fix car rags

keep the embellishments on your shoes, handbags, accessories and recycle them for wall applique usage, home crafts or magnets
