So I learned something interesting in school tonight. The average house has a 200amp feed. It is becoming more common for houses to have a 400amp feed. One of the guys in my class is working on a Stop and Shop, which has a 1600amp feed ( Read more... )

Wow, to power a house that big, you'd need... like... a HUNDRED pennies!

ctmatt July 26 2006, 04:35:24 UTC

A hundred at least.

But what about... romanzseer July 25 2006, 14:09:57 UTC

One hundred and twenty one gigawatts?

Let me know when you get to that part.

Re: But what about... ctmatt July 26 2006, 04:33:07 UTC

I just have to be a stickler....it's "one point twenty one gigawatts?!?!" I will most certainly let you know when we get to time travel, in fact I will likely have already let you know about when we first met.

Sigh. Looks like I need to revisit the movies!

Glad to hear that you are getting back into the school thang.

Keep it up!

People in Greenwich have too much (old) money =(

ctmatt July 26 2006, 04:34:41 UTC

Not all of it is old money. Alot of these people are movie stars and athletes.

size of homes. scorpiosam July 25 2006, 19:56:59 UTC

that be a small home in greenwich . my boss has a job on hold because the people are adding onto the new contruction end of it . the house is 40,000 square feet and the what to add another 4,000 square feet . just for refrence the house has 3500 windows. the air conditioning ducts in this house are ridiculus. one window is being made in italy and cost 250,000 for one window. one room has 12 8 foot windows in it . the ac units alone are using 600 amp service. it just crazy with the money that is in that town. houses like that if they stopped for one year they could pay the national debt. that is also why ct. has the highest taxes for everything.

do you want those books?

Re: size of homes. ctmatt July 26 2006, 04:33:45 UTC

Sure John, I'll take the books...they certainly can't hurt.

Re: size of homes. scorpiosam July 26 2006, 20:09:49 UTC

let me gather them together and i'll tell you when and where i'll be and you can come get them. at least you'll be using them instead of collecting dust bunnies and moth mounds
