Don,
I believe i'm in the right section here so i was thinking about having a spot where questions can be answered. I figure that we a great bunch of true experts and liscensed guys in their own chosen fields and professions. i'd like to put knowledge out there for people to call on. I can advise on whats legal and covered by my code to help someone make their project go more smoothly and prevent any un wanted electrical mishaps. I also can field just about any question with regards to troubleshooting(which is my true favorite thing to tackle) a problem anyone may have. i can also advise on materials and the proper installation of said things. I so much knowledge i was so blessed to have gained( and still to this day from my mentor) that i felt compelled to offer to you guys. I'd like see plumbers and the like. i Also carry my construction supervisor ticket and have a brother thats a plumber a father who still has the auto shop and a brother in law in HVAC. This gives all the more ability to help anyone here that wants needs it. I am more than happy to help

Darren,

This is definitely the spot.
This section is a bit on the new side so it will likely tale a bit of time to pick up speed, but your offer to help folks is gladly accepted!

Yep, I know enough to be dangerous and rarely ask for help.....hopefully this will change things.  I can say that as a young child, I became enthralled with the concept of electricity after watching my father gravitate, then accelerate, at a high rate of speed into the wall after discharging a power supply from an old Curtis Mathis television set with a screwdriver he was holding....

And for you youngsters, Curtis Mathis was THE television set to have back in the day.  Furniture grade cabinet with rolling doors to conceal the TV when not in use.  All tube chassis before small chipsets were the norm.  Weighed about as much as Don's front bumper on Square D.
Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

I remember the CM stuff and our first color TV, a Zenith 25 inch so we could see Apollo 11, memories,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You know, not really claim to be good at woodworking, but I guess I do OK.

Besides the basic stuff we all play with, I build a 3 car garage with a 2nd story after a fire in 2006. I may have posted it before, but here is a link again; http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=704660&highlight=garage

Now most of this was built with HF air tools and a small 2.5hp 6gal compressor.
