I will probably double up a few of them. Can I stick the neutral and the ground from the same set of wires in the same spot or should I seperate them?
I can already tell this 8/3 is gonna be REAL fun to work with but at least its not SE cable. I fought with my SE cable in the meter box itself forever it seemed when I was doing the barn. Then I found a trick...curl it and make a lil circle! Of course Im sure you would already know a few secrets, Jim!

I wont be getting zapped....at least not tonight! I just did all this so I could have a head start when the new water heater gets here. Ive got the old one draining right now and it should be done shortly. Take a look at the water heater my parents got...
Bosch AE-115 - $478.95 - Bosch - Powerstar AE-115 Electric Tankless Water Heater - AE-115
I got it for them for 468, not 478. I always google a site and see if they have any online coupon codes and they did for 10 bucks!
It only does one appliance at a time...strategic planning on my part to slow momma down a little bit, that and im not committing 120amps of the 200 the panel has to one appliance!

You can land both the ground and neutral under the same lug. After its tight give the wires a wiggle and then retighten them. I'm suprised that the heater called for a seperate nuetral and ground. The last few that I ahve wired only called for 2 hots and a ground.

I had a boss that used to get mad at me for testing for voltage with my fingers.

I dont know what it calls for yet! I just know it needed those double 40s. I just have 8/3 so I wont have to go back into town in case. Im more of a visual learner. When it gets here Ill figure it out! Ill be a lil mad that I spent a couple more bucks for 8/3 instead of 8/2 but its worth not fighting traffic in the city!
Bunny ears...I defintely can see why! Stupid cables....

I'm about to run a 234 line up to my spare room/office. I have an RF amplifier that needs 10-15A at 234V.

It say's 4 conductors and a ground. Where your running romex you'd have 2 grounds.
