watt-
yea, i hear what you're saying. and for small tools, a GFCI works fine. the one item i own that GFCI's don't play well with is my 3hp campbell housfield(sp?) air compressor. (and that POS coffee maker)
my 5500w generator won't even run it, though it should. so yea, put that beast on a gfci and forget about it ever running.
i love working with mexican guys, because im the unusually nice GC that they never experience. i treat them well, and they do better work because of that.
i'm pretty picky about where my cords run AND their gauge, AND if they hit the ground at connections. i run off homes circuits many times, and im the only one with the clients key, so i try to hammer in correct distribution of electrical needs.
next project isn't another project, but rather finishing my roof deck.
i'll post pictures and probably video too!
