I would suggest going on Youtube and searching for "blondiehacks" Watch the first few of her videos.

I've got a 3800 that's doing the same thing. The original wall control was a 398LM that had the display going wonky. I assumed that was the problem and replaced it with a similar wall unit from Liftmaster. Same problem so I assume the problem is with the board in the unit. I've since replaced...

What do you guys think of SpeedBleeders? I've had then in my two old MGs for a while. No problems and easy to use. https://www.speedbleeder.com/

There's a reason that sometimes things are free.

I've left so much DNA that a CSI search would call my garage a crime scene.

Great work. Looks nice but my claustrophobia would be at 110% if I was down there with a car on top.

After waiting three days to get a 3/8-20 BSF Recoil kit I trial fitted the carb to the Shorrock supercharger. Damn mixture control lever perfectly fouls the throttle rod. Wishing I had brazing capability as I need to shorten the brass mixture lever. May resort to alcohol for the evening. Oh...

Started installing a period Shorrock supercharger on my 1946 MG-TC.

I've been storing two 1 gallon paint can sized containers of carb cleaner for a couple of years. I had been using one to do a rough cleaning and the other one for less cruddy parts. I kept them on a lipped shelf under my bead blaster cabinet. When I came into the shop on Friday I was hit with...

If you are actually in the Charlotte area you may want to search for hurricane Hugo in 1989. Came up from SC right over Charlotte and made a big mess. We are in a hurricane zone. Maybe not Florida level but if a Hugo came over your garage you'll wish you had those clips. I'm north of...

Maybe it's a regional thing but around here (Western North Carolina) the big box stores must think fine thread hardware is not used anywhere. Most of the stuff I play with has very little coarse thread.

I've been contemplating installing another split, this time in my unfinished basement work shop. I'm having an issue coming up with the sizing as it doesn't seem to fit any load calculators I've found. The basement is 1056 sq feet with 9 foot ceiling and has a single north facing walkout wall...

Fastevo9 - I've learned that heat pumps are much better at maintaining temperature than they are at getting to temperature. I assume that you are shutting it off at the end of your day in the shop. It would be better to just set the temp down a bit. You'll probably use less energy as well. I...

Thanks for the information so far. I've got two of those Home Depot / Lowes condensate pumps now. One on the main home heat pump system and another on the garage dehumidifier. I suppose I could just mount another one up on the wall directly under the indoor side of the split. I was trying to...

Anyone have experience with mini split condensate pumps? I'm thinking of installing another mini split this time in my basement that has just one walk out wall. Where I can I can install the unit has a concrete pad on the outside and I can see that using a gravity condensate line will leave...
