    Line voltage WiFi access points

    Yeah, I did the same thing at my house, it certainly makes things neater. But the power injector that is included is perfectly fine if you want to stay as cheap as possible.

    Line voltage WiFi access points

    Not sure about that specific complaint but that should be an isolated problem. Or a poorly made cable. You should have no issues with the included power supply up to around 300'. At least the spec is 100m/328' anyway. I've run longer than that for temporary setups with no problems. Unless...

    Line voltage WiFi access points

    I would go with a UniFi AP: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PR20GY/?tag=atomicindus08-20 It comes with a PoE injector, so you don't need to buy a different switch. Setup uses a controller software (it doesn't need to stay running after setup) and you can add as many AP to your setup as you...

    The Concrete Underground

    Fantastic build! Glad to hear you are doing well. I use the Milwaukee sub scanner and it works quite well for rebar although it is overkill for just a stud scanner. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/instruments/inspection-and-detection/2291-20 I think the kit is around $300? Not a "pro" tool...

    Re: Shed Plans.

    Re: Shed Plans. No problem at all! Copy away.. If you want the sketchup file I can PM you the link. I picked up the rail and rollers from tractor supply. I used their round style, as opposed to the rectangular one because it had the hangars welded on already. Let me know if you need any other...

    Ethernet connection: Any value ?

    Re: Eathernet connection: Any value ? True, but compared to 2.4, 5ghz is terrible at penetrating obstacles such as walls.

    Can this be done? Low voltage question... (12 volt DC)

    I'm on my phone, so I can't draw it out, but it would be pretty straight forward I think. . All you would probably need is a double pole, double throw (on-off-on) switch and a standard 12v Bosch style relay. You might possibly need a couple diodes.. Basically you would cut into the reverse...

    A few questions about OH door, and an in the wall window

    Personally I would always keep lights and outlets on separate circuits. There is not much more annoying to me than having the lights flicker as I run a grinder or whatever. I can appreciate that you don't need much out there, but I would still recommend a 30A service. At say 100' of 8/3 you...

    A few questions about OH door, and an in the wall window

    Since this is a detached building he can't run multiple circuits. A detached building can only be fed by a single feed. Tony, unless all you are going to do is put in a couple outlets and some lights, you will need to run a 4 wire service to a sub panel and install ground rods at the...

    Screwing Down the Subfloor

    That's odd, I can't remember the last HD that didn't have a whole section of GRK-Fasteners.. These specific ones may be online only, then you just pick them up in the store..

    Need suggestion for waterproof wall box

    We use Bud Industries enclosures frequently at work, they hold up really well, as long as you don't need the durability of steel.. They aren't the cheapest though...

    "Electricians" behaving badly - fixing a 400A service

    I really don't get the whole smart meter conspiracy thing... But, just to be safe you should get rid of all cell phones, WiFi, microwave and baby monitors..

    Screwing Down the Subfloor

    I'm a big fan of GRK-Fasteners. I would use these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/GRK-Fasteners-9-x-2-in-Star-Drive-Bugle-Head-R4-Multi-Purpose-Wood-Screw-330-Pack-101099/203533441 Length is somewhat dependent on how many layers of subfloor you have, but I wouldn't use anything less than 2".. No...
