reef related injuries, and emergency contacts

[mm2meyer]

if that last post didn't make sense, I apologize, I'm tired and multitasking so please bear with me.

box 'em up and they will. Or just ship 'em. That'll be the cheapest way. I think.

Shush!!! I was trying to get new tools out of the deal:mrgreen:

So there is no way to get above the ceiling? That sucks. You are looking at some big work there. Have NDB get his hard hat on and start tearing shit up:helm2:

The biggest reef related injury I've sustained thus far is to my wallet.. ba dum bum.. :P

Seriously though, if you're careful a lot of these things shouldn't be an issue. Wear gloves and hell, half the time I'm doing something with my tank I wear glasses. It probably should be all the time, but right now I really don't have anything in my tank that's a potential danger..

I'm accident prone. So rest assured, if there's any danger at all involved I'll find the source of it.

Oh oops sorry.....uh...er..yeah they won't allow tools on planes anymore after 9/11. it could uhh....cause a reaction with the belly of the plane and.....help, I'm just snowballing here....lol


Biff how old is that house??? I'm not an electrician but you should be able to cut the holes for the recessed with a sawsall, or even a hole saw depending on the type of lights you get. Also if it's a newer home, it should all be romex which is pretty easy to work with. But like I said I'm no electrician to go with what bj says.

It was built in 1979. It's not the cutting holes I'm worried about. It's the electrical work.

 

[mm2meyer]

uhh...just checked it's most likely romex. it's not that difficult to wire the lights. the labor intensive part is the part your least worried about. the connecting the wires is easy, it's setting up the circuits to breakers where I would be like huh??

if this is about reef related accidents.... i have a scar the size of a quarter on my right pinky knuckly... it's the "teeth" marks from an eel that bit me. at first i thought it was funny... but i noticed it bled more than most small cuts... and then the stingy, burning, soreness, and redness started.... oh man it was painful.

looking back.... i wish the scar were a little bigger. i'll try to get a pic of it, it's pretty nifty.

Nathan this is no longer about reef related accidents! It's gone the way of Muck-Muck! :lol:

 

[ndepratt]

Yeah I have no idea how to do this part either.

You did notice my new sig didnt you:mrgreen:

 

[dcantucson]

Yea Brian. Welcome to the Muck-Muck club!!!
Where in the heck is our good buddy Justin? :grumble:

 

[mm2meyer]

from what I've been told, it's not that difficult to run new circuits, I've just never watched anyone do it or been told how to do it. Just that it's not as difficult as it seems

 

[d.french]

wow this thread got off subject real quick, hopefully jhnrb can come up with a sticky thread in articles section with some good contacts.

 

[dcantucson]

As a side note. I got my full length gloves from Marine Depot. It's going to take some getting use to, to using them. It reminds me of those gloves a vet uses when he sticks his arm up into a cow's or horse's.....
Does anyone use these?
