Since we pay out in Kilowatts, wouldn't 480VAC reduce my bill by half the cost versus 208VAC 3phase. I'm looking long term here. I just built me a monster garage, now I need to get power from the street. I had talked to a Electrican, but he keeps feeding me hogwash!

I pour my own stepping stones and lately I am having trouble with air bubbles, I have tried shaking the mold, taping the table the mold is on, nothing seems to help. I recently tried to use Vasline to help the stones from sticking to the mold, that works great but that is also when my air bubble problem started, is there anyone who can help give suggestions on how to fix the air bubble problem, or suggest other products to try as a relase agent for the molds?

I know of waterslide decal paper but wish to avoid the hassle -and the likelihood of dirt and dust marring the surface - when I varnish over the decal to protect it. I have read about kiln-firing special ceramic decals onto pottery, and am wondering if a similar technique could be used on slate. The slate rectangles I am using will, however, be up to 24" x 18". Can the recommended temperature of 1450 F be achieved in a conventional domestic oven?

Anyone done this? I have vinyl (I think) tiles that have been there for probably 15 years. These things are high quality and are adhered super well to concrete. It would be a nighmare trying to remove these. Can I scuff these up somehow and just lay ceramic tile over them? IF so, what should I use to sand them?

I took the old light off my ceiling to replace with a new one, thinking there would be 3 simple wires. I didn't bank on there being 5! there is one 3-wire cable with Earth, Live(Red) and Neutral(Black) and another 2-wire cable with a black and red, on the black wire there has been a red sheath placed on it.

The new lamp only has the normal 3 wire in a block, where should I place each cable?

Help please!!!
