Keeping old breakers & left over materials
Keeping old breakers & left over materials
NewOnMyOwn, Just like every open or unused space, you'll eventually fill it up. Another thing with excess inventory, it can obscure what you're trying to find for the job at hand. Just as in the earlier post from "Zog" without the equipment to test those "Old" breakers what you install may or may not work. Sell the old, seemingly good breakers if possible, throw out the junk, buy them back when and if you need them. I end up purging materials from "stock" every year where the possibilities for their use has diminished over time.
I once worked for a foreman who would check the rolling carts that each of the crew used to transport/work from as we went about our day. If he saw that your cart had mixed boxes of materials, he'd dump over the cart on the floor, "Now start over". It got the message across that sorting, looking for materials eats up time, which is money. The better organized you are, hopefully the more profitable you'll become.
