Thanks guys. I knew coming to GJ for this problem was the best bet. The collective knowledge here is incredible.

Trying to assist a fellow car guy in diagnosing a severe condensation problem. 1. Metal building erected two years ago on slab. Size is 18 Wide X 35 Long X 12 High at the roof peak. 2. Dry unpainted concrete floor 3. Rigid foam insulation on walls and ceiling (under roof line) 4. Kerosene...

Problem resolved: Hi-Lo switch connected through the thermostat on the wrong leads and the Delay Switch failed. Grainger had a suitable delay switch in stock. Thanks Toecutter for responding.....

Model Number: GPND003ADA1000 Size: 24300 BTU I don't have a wiring diagram of the exact unit, but working off a similar model that has both Hi-Lo limit and time delay switches.

Unit is a Trane ceiling suspended forced hot air unit (approx 30K BTU) with Johnson electronic ignition and direct vent (no blower), GAND series if I remember right. This is a used unit that has not been in service for over a year. The gas valve and ignition works by jumping with the...

72 Anthony's comment is on target. A lot of this depends on you telling us where you live. The flash and batt method is preferred by Fine Home Building (Tauton) publications. I assume your going to rock this after insulation. Get some estimates from insulation/drywall installers. You'll be...

Every drop should have its own condensation drip. The TIP diagram posted by CNGsaves show this. I'd be a little nervous on using pex also.

I still think a subpanel on the other side of the building will 1) reduce these lengths in half, 2) can stay with 12 AWG wire, and 3) provide 220 if you need it later. sberry comment on loads is also true.

Using on on-line calculator: http://www.calculator.net/voltage-drop-calculator.html?material=copper&wiresize=5.211&voltage=120&phase=ac&noofconductor=1&distance=165&distanceunit=feet&amperes=20&x=49&y=12 The worst case of 165 feet and full 20 amp load using 12AWG leaves an end voltage of 109...

Wanted to follow up on this generator problem (and for the archive). Using the drill method did not flash the magnetism back. Maybe its the difference between brushed and brushless versions. I used a small motorcycle battery and connected the positive and negative leads directly to the brushes...

Folks, This is a question pertaining to a Generac 5500 portable brushed type generator. The particulars are: 1. It is a brushed rotor where regulated DC is provided to the rotor's slip rings via two brushes, 2. Both stator windings measure under 1 ohm of resistance and are the same for both...

Not exactly a Garage type question, but looking for opinions regarding a 3/4 inch Tonque & Grove subfloor underlayment (8'X20')that was immersed in salt water for about an hour. This is aftermath of hurricane Sandy in NJ. Top side covered in tile. Floor has dried from both sides and not buckling...

Another follow up to this unwanted RFI noise saga. I installed the above suggested filter which according to the data sheet was designed for suppressing Flourescent fixture ballast noise. It helped, but some light hissing was still heard when plugging and unplugging the fixture. The leads...

North Carolina, think I would be more concerned about cooling than heating. My initial thought is to use two smaller size heat pump units at opposite ends of the shop. Personally, I'm leaning towards a Fujuitsu brand based on recommendations from GJ users
