I'm soooo ready for warm weather.......got to replace the #8 to my panel with the #6 that is resting on my bench in basement. (#8 is now a dedicated 50 amp to the welder but could be quickly switched back in an emergency.) Got to learn how to weld, plant a big garden, remember my name, etc...
Ray,
What we got in snow melted via rain overnight. I'm on the Chesapeake Bay. West of here and north to DC they have 12-14" and it is still falling. I've bought some 6011, 6013 and 7018. Weather hasn't allowed me to do any practice. My welding space is outdoors with only a shed roof...

Won this unit on a VA Dpt of Trans auction this week. Came from one of the stations they closed out when they went to contract ops. From the looks of it, seems to be in great condition. Hopefully can pick up next week and begin learning to weld. With auction premium and sales tax it was...
