That is a 2 pole 50 amp GFCI breaker. So the hot tub was most likely 240 volt. What dipshit cut the wires so short? You do plan on reusing them?
The black wire taped red should be a hot wire. The other two, who knows. You'll have to check the panel. Take the panel cover off and take a picture.

Re: Car port conversion...
I take it the cross bracing is where you plan on attaching the top plate? How did you fasten the the cross bracing to the existing structure?
Re: Car port conversion...

Re: Car port conversion...
Oh they not attached yet...gonna toenail them into joist but they are so tight in there I can barely move em as is...

Re: Car port conversion...
You really only need 1 every 24". But whatever you do, don't skip out on the toe-nailing part.
Re: Car port conversion...
Well that would work cuz I spaced em 16" but two of them I cut a little short...

Re: Car port conversion...
I use projects like this as perfect opportunities to buy new tools. May I suggest an air compressor and pneumatic nail gun. Toe-nailing and stud nailing have never been easier.
Re: Car port conversion...
I was actually gonna buy a nailgun tomorrow...got a compressor. Fuck no...trying to toenail all that shit with a hammer...
Re: Car port conversion...
Don't u use smaller nails for toenailing?...

Imagine how this dump is going to turn out with Geoff doing the work and Gramps telling him how to do it.

A 2 1/2", #10 should work fine. Buy those for your nail gun and you can use them for all the framing. You might want to use a 16d to fasten the top and bottom plates.scared? wrote:Don't u use smaller nails for toenailing?...

Silly homos that can't participate in conversations about construction, even though they blew the construction worker from the Village People.LawL wrote:Imagine how this dump is going to turn out with Geoff doing the work and Gramps telling him how to do it.
