The two supply houses closest to me are wholesale only and Grainger won’t sell by the foot. The price of gas kinda made HD the logical choice once fuel, time and traffic frustration were taken in consideration to get to a retail supply house on the other side of town.
As suggested, try a farm store which I could have, but didn’t think of it.
I finally found a roll at Lowes, it looks like it fell off a truck a few dozen times, wtf
Nice. This old man at work, 79, tells me the other day because I’m always pissed off about shit like this very thing, that I need to accept that this is just the way things are these days. I looked at him with daggers and said, fuck you, that fuk’n retarded attitude right there is why this shit just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. It’s so hard to not lose your shit these days.
Happened to be going to dinner last night to a place near a Tractor Supply with an ex gf, so I asked if she’d mind if I swung by it to get the ring terminals I need. It was near closing time and she had just had surgery on her foot so I made it a fast in and out. They had good copper 6ga terminals, but for 3/8 lugs, I need 1/4. Grrrrrr. I looked up and down the aisle for large ga wire, only saw the skinny auto shit. Wish I could tell you go there, but I can’t say for sure that they have it. Must of been some where else in the store if they did. I glanced down the aisle before and after the one with terminals and didn’t see any.
Edit: Oh yeah, it was $9.99 a two pack for those ring terminals.
My wire cost $3.37 a foot, for a 125 ft roll. To have the amount I needed cut from a roll would have cost DOUBLE that. WTF?? It takes maybe 5 minutes to roll it out, cut, and zip-tie. If a nigger does it, 15 minutes, but still...now I will have 60 feet left over, to sell online. No doubt I will be emailed by thousands of beaners tryin to buy it for $1 a foot.
