From the opener, I ran a dedicated wire to the smart wall controller. Then, ran another wire from the opener to doorbell button number 1. Then from there, ran another wire to doorbell button number 2. Joined the 2 sets of wires together and connected to the opener. This made it work and didn't...

The 883 wall button is still a smart controller, which will cause conflicting operational issues with the main wall controller. In my previous post, I mentioned using a basic "dummy" doorbell push button. I've been using 2 basic doorbell style buttons in conjunction with the smart wall...

When adding additional wall controllers (only use basic push button doorbell type) the wiring can be tied together at the opener or at the wall controller. The smart controller supplied with the opener must still be connected to the wiring to retain the light functions and the ability to use the...

The door installer came back and corrected the issue shortly after.

OP, I did exactly what you are thinking of doing for a buddy of mine a few years ago. Cut a portion of the torsion tube to make the installation of the opener easier. Here's a couple of pictures of the install and the finished job, with the removeable access panel in place.

As an ex tile contractor myself I respect your opinion duneslider, however I disagree with you. A properly installed tile floor can withstand pretty much anything you can throw at it in a working garage setting. One member here I recall dropped a transmission on his tiled floor, leaving no...

Very happy to see you gents loving your tiled floors.

Since you're planning to use a small format tile, there's really no concern of needing the floor perfectly flat. Any irregularity (low or high spots) can easily be hidden with the 4"x8" tiles. My only concern is getting proper adhesion so that the thinset will stick to the existing epoxy. I...

I'll play as well.

Thank you for the kind words! The right flooring option is up to each individual's needs and wants. :thumbup:

In doing this extra bit of prep work now, will save you a lot of time and frustration when it comes to the tile installation. Keep up the great work Duncan.

3 years already, oh my does time fly. I'm happy to hear your floor is holding up to the punishment. ;) :thumbup:

^^^ Exactly like this.

It's close to what I'm suggesting. I would show you on an image, but I'm currently at work and do not have the ability to do so. So basically the additional control joint that you've added in the image, move it more to the left so it's placed in the center of slab. This would place the...

I just came across this thread... OP, prior to laying the SLC, did you happen to take a look in the control joints to see if cracking in the slab did actually occur? At the very least I would recommend using a liquid crack-isolation membrane and a crack prevention thinset like FlexBond. As...
