Yea it resembles rabbits foot too, and that's a much cuter name .. but there are people at work literally (pretending to be?) scared of this plant cuz it looks so much like tarantula legs lol
I will be splitting this guy up soon, will put some of these rhizomes in a new pot :)
I inherited this tree when I bought the house. It occurred to me i should probably prune it.. but I have no idea what to do.
Also,... Is this thing gonna be a nightmare to clean up after? Those seed pods are giving me dirty looks.... Already dealing with a catalpa down the street
Hey everyone. I have a Honda Clarity plug in hybrid I need to get a charger installed for. For my next car (maybe 3-4 years from now) I want a full EV so I am planning on future proofing this install a bit.
I've gotten 1 quote, I will get 2 more at least, but the first quote was $3,600 and that is with me digging the trench. So I'd like to purchase all the equipment myself, do most of the work and just get an electrician to do the final hook ups.
Quick rundown of the specifics;
Breaker panel at front of house, parking area out back. Cable run is about 80 feet, about 50 feet of which is in my basement, about 30 feet will need to be underground thru my backyard. I want to run regular outlets back there to eliminate need to run extension cord to the driveway to vacuum, have lights, etc. I have a fence I could attach the receptacle to but I plan to probably install a dedicated post (I haven't decided this yet). I will dig a 2 foot trench from back of house through the backyard and to the fence line.
How far from the house should the trench start? I'm envisioning about 6 inches to a foot? I don't want to end up with the trench machine contacting the foundation. This is the main area where I'm doubtful of placement, strategy, etc. I'm not sure if this matters, but once the trench is dug and the cable laid, I plan on fully re-grading the yard and replanting it.
Materials needed (purpose of this post is mainly to confirm I have found the correct materials for this project);
Plastic conduit to run cables through (same conduit for both cables OK?) something like this: 1-1/2 in. x 50 ft. Ultratite Liquidtight Flexible Non-Metallic PVC Conduit
Cable: 6-3 Copper UF-B Underground Feeder and Branch Circuit Cable - Cable Cabana
Outside transition box, will this work:Topaz | 1165 | 1165 or do I need something like this Cantex Weatherproof Electrical Box, 35.3 cu in, FSCC Box Type, 2 Gangs, PVC, Rectangular Shape 5133402 | Zoro
receptacle: I tried finding one with a NEMA 14-50 connection as well as regular outlet but could not. I would get something like this VEVOR 50 Amp RV Power Outlet Box, 125/250 Volt, Enclosed Lockable Outdoor RV Receptacle Box, NEMA 14-50R Weatherproof Electrical Panel, for RV Camper Trailer Motorhome | VEVOR US and a regular outlet one and just put them on the same post
This is the estimate I got, I know I don't have the breaker panel pieces listed, I may defer to electrician for that part too because its a little confusing;
