    Right now I just have it for one switch, but technically I can make it work with multiple...or have multiple switches for that one light. Basically you install a receiver in place of the normal switch (or to a hardwired light/fan/device) and it draws a small amount of constant power looking for...

    No real updates, been working on some house projects.....but I did take a picture of the barn :-P Oh, so they make these wireless kinetically power lights switches that work great when you feel lazy and don't want to run wire...they are a bit pricey (~$35) but sooooo easy (made new cabinets for...

    Actually I own one of those, but its taken a lesson from my 10mm sockets and is hiding pretty well (still not fully unpacked from the move), the extra reach would be useful too. Although I think mine was a HF knockoff that was prone to jamming. I found out (inspection camera) that the coupling...

    Got a few rows of netting installed and filled in a few gaps in the fiberglass. Its not hard work but time consuming without help :-P and wow do you go through a lot of staples, starting to think I should have bought an electric/cordless one!

    Thanks Drive, it certainly is a process. I look forward to seeing how I tie in some of the end pieces and then make everything work nice with the ceiling mesh (planning to install on top of the bottom chord so that I don't have to cut a hole for each socket and light). Just found a leaking pipe...

    Slowly but surely....I have one wall insulated to R19 now and since I don't have any other pictures to share....i'll share a picture of a Lambo I took at a carshow the other day, which will be garage art (ordered a 20x30 from my photo place).

    Below 265 SQ/FT DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COOL VI

    Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO Nice looking trailer and a nice size to have around too. As others have mentioned, making sure the wheels turn freely and without play and then looking around for obvious cracks are the key points IMO. I am...

    I thought about making a post that says "racecar".....because that is a good word :) The scam is working well, she actually helped me in the barn today! :) Although she would not be happy about the idea of moving again, I joked about it a few times of how I can improve things better "next"...

    Drive: I am glad to be back, around all of my travel and stuff I was a little bummed to not be doing more with the barn. The insulation, that I am working on now, is really all I "need" to be ready for the barn, but of course I still have a small list of items that I am working on for the near...

    Lakefront barn - Michigan Carr

    So, right or wrong I decided to cut a few holes in the bubble **** wrap and patch in some house wrap.....I figure if I have any issues in the future, the fix will be to do it the right and only (at that time) easily available option, which will be to remove the outside sheet metal, strip off the...

    Wow it has been a while since I have posted on here.......but finally starting to focus a little more attention to the barn since some of the house items are complete (although a new problem just came up.....) Anyhow, I decided to use HD "express delivery"...which is $80 no matter how much...

Yellow is 220, the hardly visible orange is gas, blue =air and red=110v There are usually numerous local suppliers, I found a supplier of "Superior radiant products", who I bought my last one from also....very cool...

    Hey Drive, That little ladder (HF purchased, if I recall correctly) has been great, I have used it for everything so far without issue. It extends, folds and has no issue getting me 12' in the air while supporting my weight with tools and stuff. Its a little chilly for sure, but a light jacket...
