    Need source for 4" x 6" T&G Lumber

    We are replacing the roof on a historic building and with 4" x 6" tongue and groove lumber used for the decking. We would like to replace with the same material but we are having a difficult time finding it. Does anyone have a source for this material they can share? We are in Nashville TN

    3 Phase Interupter? What is this called?

    We have a well that we have had to replace a few times. One of the phases is going out and it tries to continue to run. There is a device I have used on a machine in the past where if one phase went out it would shut down the other phases. What is this device called? Thanks for your help.

    Cost to place Distribution Lines Underground

    Well the parkway is about 450 miles long so there are numerous providers. I am not looking for EE services at no cost.

    Cost to place overhead utilities underground?

    We have several small lines crossing a parkway that we would like to have placed underground. These are not transmission lines or high voltage transmission lines. They are small lines in a rural area. We would only need to go underground for about 400' each. Can someone give me a good...

    Cost to place Distribution Lines Underground

    I am not talking about large transmission lines or even lines that provide a large number of homes etc. I am the engineer for a parkway and we have several small lines that cross the main parkway. We would like to start putting some of these crossings underground. I estimate it would be about...
