    My 3 Stall Renovation

    Small update, slow to get work done. I got the first band of LED's up, and man, what a difference 5 lights makes. I can't wait to get the other 12 up. Also, installed the first of 3 new Chamberlain Whisperdrive openers, for my wife's garage stall. Please, don't mind the clutter, as this is...

    3 Garage fan + 1 Switch

    I believe you are correct. In talking and discussing with some friends today, I think I'm going to just use a 20a switch (fans are on a 20a circuit), wire them in parallel, and adjust the fan speeds as needed. Thanks for the replies gents. J

    3 Garage fan + 1 Switch

    thanks, this is my first real electrical job, and I'm teaching myself as I go - but trying to take my time, as to not overlook anything. I will wire it up as planned, and see what happens.

    3 Garage fan + 1 Switch

    Would wiring in series then reduce the load on startup? Forgive the novice questions here, I'm just trying to make sure it's done correctly, and not creating a dangerous situation.

    3 Garage fan + 1 Switch

    I'm really not worried about humming, or noise... I just don't want to short something, or burn up any switches etc... Figured i would hook the three up, in Parallel, then set fans to highest setting, and control them with the single switch.. Wishful thinking? I just don't want to run 3...

    3 Garage fan + 1 Switch

    Guys I'm looking for a little bit of help here… I have a project I'm working on where I am adding three ceiling fans on a 20 amp circuit in my garage. They are three speed fans with no light. I purchased a Lutron three-way 1.5 amp switch, with three speed control - looking at the specs on my...

    Tamper Proof Outlets / NEC Requirement

    I went ahead yesterday and ordered the Leviton TR's from Home Depot just to get in front of a potential issue. Luckily Menards has an extremely liberal return policy so getting credit should be a non issue, then I'll use that $$ towards the 4 TR/GFCI's i need.... grumble

    Tamper Proof Outlets / NEC Requirement

    Pardon my naivety... Are you speaking in regards to adding 5 lights to the current circuit?

    My 3 Stall Renovation

    Thank you! A good friend of mine asked me to be a groomsman in his wedding this weekend, so I'll not have many updates this week, but hopefully I'll be getting back to work out there on Monday.

    Tamper Proof Outlets / NEC Requirement

    I apologize as I said that wrong. They're not on the all same circuit. I have 12 lights going on one 15a circuit that's being added. Then I'm adding 5 more lights are going on the existing 15a circuit that the current openers, and lights (2 standard bulbs, which are being replaced) and...

    Blown in insulation and Attic Storage.

    Yeah, after looking into it more, I don't think I should be putting anything upthere to begin with. I was leaning on full blown insulation (pun intended) but was just looking for a second opinion. I have extra Aluminum siding, 1x6-8 lumber and a few of my sons metal tonkas up there - but I...
