What drives me up a wall is seeing houses wired with Romex and it is stapled
down to the wood. If you have to pull that sucker out you have to tear the
whole wall out to get to it and remove it, I have also seen staples that

I think the biggest benefit to the inspections (for me) is when I move into
a house that I know nothing about. Especially for plumbing and electrical,
I want to know that the work was at least looked at by a third party that
knows their stuff. (Though I guess for roofing and structural it's also

Exactly, most of my electrical work has been industrial, one receptacle per
breaker type work. When I went in to redo the home in Tampa, I found as
many as 6 receptacles per breaker, needless to say I fixed that because of
the same issue, wife can always find the receptacle that has a big load on

I guess one thing about the parallel wiring system usually you use a make
after break double throw switch so you cannot put power on the mains.
The switch is designed such that it cannot make both contacts at the same
time. I wonder why you did not go that route?

Very innovative wiring, John. And I like the idea of a natural gas
generator. Much less hassle and maintenance than gasoline. I have a small
gasoline generator but it has not been run in a number of years. Hard to

John,
Both your main storage and your backup run from the same power line in the

I understand that you are choosing RAID0 because you need 8+8=16GB of
storage space instead of redundancy.
I would advise you against using RAID0 if you care about your data -
single disk failure and you loose everything.
JBOD will give you the same storage space at about the same performance
