thanks everybody, it sounds like the material price aligns and the quote is fair. It appears that my expectations are wrong. I double checked the pricing of the wire and you're correct it was $93 not $40. At $1500 for the materials given what everybody said it is a fair price. Thanks...

i am working to get electrical run out to a small building on my property. The plan is to run a 50A two pole breaker in my main 200A service panel and bury 6 gauge wire approximately 100' to the building. Inside of the building we will install 6 outlets using a main trunk down the middle of...

where do you park the boat?

do you plan to use the shop space for woodworking at all? if so, would it make sense to move the door into the house to be in the normal parking spot? I have always thought that having to pass through a shop which is typically less organized and dirty compared to the parking only spots would...

Re: Quickjack vs. MaxJax vs. 4 post vs. 1 post vs. scissor vs. jack & stands vs. asyl thanks; a few follow up questions in terms of using it on the floor; does the floor have to be perfectly level? Given that the contact patch is likely smaller on a scissor lift compared to a quick jack...

Re: Quickjack vs. MaxJax vs. 4 post vs. 1 post vs. scissor vs. jack & stands vs. asyl do you move your lift around? Where do you store the lift? How high does it raise the vehicle?

I have a large shed (small garage, out building) at the back of my property. It currently has no power. I would like to run some cables to it so that i can get power to it. I have 200A main service and have enough circuit space left to run at least 2 20 amp circuits but would like to...

I am estimating right now that the cost of the project will be around $4/ft and replacement flooring (manufactured hardwood) would probably be another $4 or $5 extra per foot. This would change the cost of the project from around $4000 to $9000.

Thank you, this is very helpful and gives me an estimate on how much to budget for.

I am going to be getting some estimates to have the first floor of my home's bamboo floors refinished. i have already taken a spare piece of flooring and confirmed that it is not laminate and also applied a few oil and water based stains to it to give my wife an idea of the finished product...

thanks; just out of curiosity, what do the curtains cost? I think the 24' wide 8' long quick ship would be the one that I need. Did you buy it directly from TMI or did you get it from a 3rd party? Thanks
