I put these Arlington boxes on our house. They are okay for outlets that aren't used often, but the doors are a little bit of a pain to open and close. They tend to stick closed and flex around, you have to almost push up on the bottom wall of the box to release the little tab holding onto the...

Here's ours, doubles as the "party room" bathroom. The mirror isn't up yet but is a simple rectangle with a heavy metal frame. The sink is temporary, just needed something during construction. But it has actually been very handy. We aren't sure what the long term vanity will be, something to...

I used these and adjusted them just as you would a wood shim. My thought process was that these won't break down like wood will. https://www.homedepot.com/p/8-in-Composite-Shim-12-Bundle-10011700/301757699

I put some of those dense plastic shims under the downhill casters, made it easy to level and has been fine. I wanted it to be non-permanent incase I ever want to move stuff around to a different layout.

I haven't bothered to try contacting Westcoat as their 5 year warranty states: "The Westcoat ALX system requires a maintenance topcoat with WESTCOAT ACRYLIC TOPCOAT (or Westcoat Sealer) specified by a factory representative, every three to five years (depending on ultraviolet exposure and/or...

I'm looking for some advice before I seek out bids to get this re-coated, I'm hoping some of the pros or vendors on here can chime in... We have a plywood based deck surrounding the second floor of our new build. A local installer did what I believe is a Westcoat ALX system on it, I have a...

Here is what I learned in shop: Install a magnetic sensor on the door, which sends a signal to a microcontroller when the door is opened. Connect the microcontroller to a relay that controls the flow of electricity to the lightbulb. Power the microcontroller using a battery or power supply...

That was a quick sale, wish it lasted a little longer or had more heads up. 😐

You are correct, I linked to the non-TR version since the OP didn't want TR.

We went with this series of Hubbell in our new house and are very happy with them. The electrician was impressed with the quality as well. We had to use tamper resistant, but they come without it too. These have the nice back wire feature (NOT backstab, back wire straight to the screw...

In 2018 I paid $11,900 for 33 trusses (most regular, some scissor, some attic) for a 29' span with 14" overhangs. So I don't think your price is outrageous. Then again, I was paying California prices...

We used Rockwool(no paper), and tried those wire insulation support things but they didn't work well for us. We ended up stapling twine up as we lifted the insulation. It ended up looking kind of like the photo above with the Stone wire. It held the Rockwool up fine until drywall, so I'm sure...

Depending on the size of the conduit and the 100amp line, maybe you could use the cat6 as a pull string and pull fiber through the conduit (along with a backup string)? The fiber may be a better option since you are stuck having it running parallel to the 100amp line. Other people here will...
