ok so on to the things i learned today that i didnt like was the wire harness i striped the guy said if i had left it whole it was a better price thats strange because i thought it was always better to break things down to get more money not leave them whole and get more money. what was considered #2 insulated from estension cords and other common things is now .30 a lb so does that mean i should strip all the wires i get? they counted my ali ladder as mlc its painted ali extrusion i guess. also apparently if you have ali with steel its considered breakage thats what he said the heater radiator from a house was ali fins with steel tubes. are any of you getting told these things to? what prices are you gettting? whats the smallest gauge wire you would strip? i was thinking of stripping 16g and lower not that i get anything higher than 16 lol not with what i take appart it being a/c's hardly ever get romex=( what kind of wires are easiest to strip with a utility knife? prices looked a little low at the yard compared to what i saw on the internet=(
things i learned today that were good if you have a boat battery its worth 10$ they call it a truck battery he could have gave me 8$ and i would not have known i just thought a lead battery was a lead battery besides the small ones from ups or a riding mower. prices looked a little low at the yard compared to what i saw on the internet=( found out that the silver colered wire is counted as #2 so that helps with confusion i had on that=)
