Thanks, I'll give it a whirl

I'm looking at a screen door to place over our main entry door. We have Hardi Board siding, trim and brickmold on the house. As far as the installation instructions, there are screws that install laterally into the brickmold. The frame for the screen door is a right angle piece of metal that...

It has a thermal overload switch

After more research I found a copy of the owners manual online. Looks like you can just change the factory cord to one that fits various receptacles. It starts on page 36. If I'm reading it right, I can just build a new cord and wire it up to the saw. That I'm capable of doing. Worst case...

I'm not comfortable changing breaker on my own. I'll just go with the adapter. I'd like to keep the 30a receptacle. Never know down the road

I may have figured it out. This might work? https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-5-ft-10-3-3-Wire-30-Amp-250-Volt-HVAC-3-Prong-Plug-NEMA-6-30P-to-20-Amp-6-20R-6-15R-T-Blade-Female-Adapter-Cord-60455/316987516

When I had my garage built I had them put in a 220v outlet in case I ever needed it. Well now I need it. It has this type of 30A outlet...

Anyone attached a vise to a planer stand? I’m rearranging some things and replacing others. My vise is currently attached to a rickety workbench. I’m getting rid of that workbench. I need somewhere to attach my vise. Was thinking about one of those dewalt or wen planer stands. Not sure if that...

This. Shouldn’t be too difficult to open up the motor and wire a new cord. Just like installing a new dryer.

Ah ok that makes sense. Basically just making the black wires longer and creating a junction inside the existing box. Thank you.

I had a previous thread about eliminating a switch for an outlet but the more I think about it, I’d rather have that outlet stay switched. It’s the switch for the garbage disposal. Right now it’s on the wall above the sink but I’m going to move it below the sink and put it in the cabinet...

The faux stuff still looks pretty ‘plastic’ to me. But it depends what your budget is. I did fireplace in my last house with norstone veneer stone. It looked ****. It’s not cheap tho at about $16 a square foot. But if you don’t need a lot it’s not too bad. They make integrated corners too so...

Don’t make it too complicated. I have one of these in the garage and it covers our whole acre easily. Uses the same WiFi name and everything so you don’t have to switch between WiFi names and what not. Never had an issue with it...

So we are getting ready to do a kitchen remodel next month. My dishwasher currently drains into a standpipe with a p-trap that goes into the main drain. The sink and disposal has its own drain and p-trap which also ties into the main drain. Not sure why it’s setup like that. We are getting new...

I have a 30” connected to an appletv hub. I usually stream YouTube or Netflix.
