This is great. Thanks for the info.

Looks awesome. Looking forward to more info.

Go to Maine Beer Company in Freeport a little outside of Portland. Lunch is the name of their IPA.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. What bells/whistles are you talking about?

Maine Beer Co. is incredible. Lunch is my favorite IPA. The brewery is in Freeport if you are in Maine.

Great point. I followed the unclear, black and white directions that came with the plug I was wiring and accidentally put the ground wire in the wrong place. So the wiring was not properly aligned from one end to the other. I googled "wiring 220v extension cord" and there were a lot of useful...
