Dryer receptacles tend to be mounted behind dryers. So there's that. :lol: On a side note, when I was in college, I was changing strings on my guitar and my roommate took one of the old ones and shorted it across the poles of the receptacle in the wall. I have no idea what he was thinking -...

Opened my gift from Al Bundy this morning. It's like he has a direct view into my head - he identified one of my DAILY struggles and solved it. With 3 teenage daughters and a wife, I'm always challenged to find the charger cable for my phone and iPad because the kids keep moving them. I go to...

No, but I did use my CNC to make the box. Actually, most of the gift involved my CNC machine.

No, but he's going to need one to open it. ;-)

That would be a code violation without the spark ring that rockwithjason suggested.

I've had mine for a while, but I had a difficult time remembering to bring it home from the office. Must be getting older... What was I saying? I forget. Thanks, Al Bundy!!! Looking forward to opening this on Sunday!

hand tools for electrical: Klein. battery powered: Makita 18v - brushless, when available (Dewalt never fits my hands right, and Milwaukee had my business for a while but they were too heavy) woodworking: jet & delta screwdrivers: Stanley pliers: channel locks & vise grip...

prewire the low volt wires for your garage door opener button and sensor wires if you haven't already done it.

I'm a 43 year old family man with 3 daughters (20, 16, 13). Been happily married to my college sweetheart for 23 years. I'm a Canadian living in Colorado. I prefer to make things instead of buy them. I have pretty much every tool I want/need. I like older Chevrolet trucks - I own a 62 C10. I...
