It's out by about 12% at 50 lbs.

Did you ever figure it out? I'm in the same boat with mine.

Wait till you see the 2020 NEC requirements for GFCI protection. Among the changes: Receptacles up to 250 volts are included.

What's up with that? I had a Champion 3,400 watt inverter generator on my wish list, normal price $1,151.37 and at 11 AM today I got a "Deal of the Day" email saying it was only $989.00. I clicked on the link at 3:00 PM to oprder one and it had already gone up to $1,128.89, I guess when they...

We never use metallic protection, if you do you have to bond it at both ends due to the choke effect. If we want to hide the GEC from thieves we put it in PVC. We always use #4 also, no physical protection required. We just have to hide it sometimes depending on the location.

Definitely not recommended but replacing the recep with non GFCI in the garage would be even worse. Right now if someone makes a path from the refrigerator to ground through their body, and there is leakage, the GFCI will trip before they can be electrocuted. With a non gfci receptacle the...

I saw that over on the Shopfloor forum. I mean't to tell you that you ****:) If I could get them to screw up like that at my HD I'd buy a couple or 3 myself.

Bringing this thread back to announce that the 200 sockets are now $79 with free shipping. Ordered mine yesterday. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-3-8-in-and-1-2-in-Drive-Socket-Set-200-Piece-H200MSS/207186810

Thanks, I wish I could find the bulb seal that rolls up inside the door, I've only seen them on Australian web sites. I'd probably have to add some framing to take up the space though as it is 6" wide right now and I doubt if a seal that big would fit inside the door.

Is your rubber seal the kind that rolls up inside the door? Right now I only have the curtain that came with the door but it is doing nothing. My gap at the top is about 6" with the door closed and it shrinks to about 3" when open, not sure how to fit a rubber seal or even how tight to make the...

Thanks TC, do you have brush seal at the top as well?

Did some searching and found some older threads on this, seems a few people were talking about brush seal which is what I intend to use. There was some question as to whether or not the brush seal would cause wear on the paint when installed across the gap at the top as it would drag across the...

I have a big pile of 2x4s left over from some work on the garage and was thinking about building some of these, what do you guys think about using them on a 9,000 lb crew cab Superduty?

Thanks for all the advice, I will get it cleaned and tell the tenant next time they do something like that they will get the bill

Hoping for some input from HVAC guys and maybe landlords. Went to do some routine maintenance today on one of my rentals which included dropping off HVAC filters as the tenant had told me a few weeks ago they were out of filters. For several years I have supplied all of my tenants with new...
