If an electrical engineer recommends a gutter expert for electrical work, who would he recommend for gutter work?

Until just recently, I thought that that electrical engineer was a mechanical engineer.

1) Judging from Tim's earlier posts, I am confident he could 'get it done'!:)

2) Mickyd and Rob are the mechanical engineers.(or at least two of them).

3) The electrical engineer referred to above is 'broad' minded. He understands round thingies do not fit into square holes(not very well anyway!).

He is not the only EE here either.

For me it would always be Beer last, I am deathly allergic to beer. Even beer batter shrimp causes me (and my son) to stop breathing.

I also have an MSEE but don't do line voltage, my expertise was << 5 volts.

Shutting main breaker is a big pain with all the computerized stuff in my house (we have only had 1 power failure in 20 years) but I might me able to use my sub-panel which only has appliances.

Requirement 1 would be space for an added 2 pole breaker.

I saw an article in Shop Notes today about a 220 converter, you plug it into 2 110v outlets and it converts to 220
