Are you asking about an opener, or a remote? There are plenty of learning remote for garage door opener. Just look them up on Amazon. If you are talking about the opener itself why would an opener learn the remote and replicate it? The opener is the one that receives the signal. It doesn't...

Yes you definitely need a humidistat unless you enjoy mold growing all over your house. The damper is not for controlling the humidity. It is for closing it off in the summer when the AC is running.

Did you read the original post? That may be your definition of gray water, but that definitely is not what we are talking about here. The OP explicitly said the sink will be used for washing paint brushes.

If i were you i would just put four screws from the outside into the shelf. It would take me less time than to type up this sentence.

I am not familiar with your local code but are you sure you don't already have a damper in your ductwork already? Uneven heat distribution is extremely common so that is why usually there is one damper in each register branch. If you lift up the floor register you should be able to see it. Just...

If your house is ducted for forced air there really isn't any reason why you wouldn't want to replace it with another forced air furnace. Same with the size, if yours have been doing a good job then just stick with the same size. As for two stages that's pretty much the norm now unless you want...

Can you explain why? The heat loss rate for a house is calculated by hA(T2-T1). Since the heat transfer coefficient and the area remain the same, one would expect by lowering the temperature inside will result in a smaller difference between the inside and outside temperature, and therefore a...

Sorry if I missed it, but you spent a lot of words to describe your effort to shrink down the garage, and no where you explained the reason. Are you trying to save money? Is it a zoning/by-law issue?

But that's a truck. I don't think there is any car that weights 8000 lbs.

Are you putting cameras *inside* the garage? Most people put the cameras outside because if the burglar is inside the battle has already lost.

The technical term for the device that converts AC to DC is called a AC to DC converter, which has a transformer inside to first lower the voltage of the AC to 12V, then followed by a rectifier to convert the AC to DC. The device that is used as a "choke" is called an inductor. It *looks* very...

As the other guy mentioned just buy a Arduino/ESP clone. $10 in cost and to do what you want it is 10~20 lines of code max.

I hope i dont sound insensitive, but will your son be in the wheelchair temporary? And how old is your son? If you are talking about a kid who will be in the wheelchair for a few weeks or even months it seems odd to pave a 450' driveway just so that he can roll around on the driveway. If he is...

Just stating the obvious, no matter what you choose you do, do not cut it inside your house. It will get into *everything* and you will be spending the rest of your life cleaning them.

Oil extractor. Just get a small one if you want to save money. They are excellent for changing oil btw.
