Today I slowly started moving my mess from the three car garage to the shop. I am trying to clean and organize as I go and I have lots of ****. Today’s progress was moving two Lista tables to their new spots and mounting a 50’ electric cord reel behind one of the tables.

As soon as I announced that the MyQ worked, it stopped closing the door. I reset and reconnected it today and it works. It is kind of a pain being 16 or 17 feet up.

Thanks. We are still pretty much in the thick of the Metroplex near Flower Mound. It sounds like you have a good setup!

Thanks. I’ll live with or fix it eventually.

I used the shop for the first automotive activities yesterday. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/posts/10523080/ Today, I installed one of the MyQ smart garage control hubs on my medium duty commercial Liftmaster opener. The door installer told me it wouldn’t work but it I figured it was...

Today was the first day working in the new shop. I detailed my Duramax and changed the fuel filter, changed out some blown out sway bar links on my wife’s Suburban, and chased a wobble in my Jeep’s steering, which was hopefully the loose tie rod clamp and the 7/16” toe in. 😳

I cleaned and polished the antique Firestone sign that my father-in-law removed from a building he was hired to remodel decades ago and the hung it with my 16-year old son’s help. The top of the sign of the sign is mounted a little over 14’ feet high. The sign is probably 50 lbs or so, floppy...

The final punch list and payment were done and I officially started moving stuff from the garage to the shop. I haven’t decided what I will do with the flooring - whether sealing or epoxying or doing nothing at all. I need to buy a car for my soon-to-be 16 year old son and not sure it is...

In 2013, we sold our first home in a claustrophobic neighborhood with tiny lots and an overzealous HOA and moved to a larger home on one acre with plans to build a shop. Nearly 11 years later, the shop is built and only needs final punch list items addressed and final payment. The shop is...

Thanks. I got it working.

I just bought the Teco L510 to run my three phase Delta on 115v single phase. Do I just wire the motor directly to the Teco and bypass the large electric enclosure? The enclosure is like the one pictured here. http://www.machineryvalues.com/xdetails.cfm/QN/157553

I had a Lincoln 180 and it never welded very good. I got the Miller for free and sold the Lincoln. The miller is much easier to use if the wire keeps feeding. :shocking:

I tested the motor and it worked and then I tested the voltage at the connections and was getting power that fluctuated with knob adjustments. I put it all back together and it worked. Thanks for the tips.
