I got it all done and capped off the unused stuff. Thanks guys.

Yes I'd like to remove the dimmer knob entirely. How do I determine which black wire in the ceiling ties to the fan speed control knob in the wall? I would assume the ceiling black wire that was connected to the black "motor" wire on the old fan is it? Yes I do have 2 gang cover with the other...

Strange the pictures aren't showing. They're linked from Imgur, and show on my computer. Here's direct URL links (these are just pics of the wall switch setup): https://imgur.com/QLEAJ0C https://imgur.com/MBoXsFx https://imgur.com/a2FNjkJ When you say cap off one black house wire, you're...

I'm removing a dining room fan/light and replacing it with JUST a chandelier (no fan). On the wall, there is a double gang outlet with a switch and a fan speed knob. Here's that setup: I took the fan down and in the outlet box there are two black wires, two white wires, and bare copper...

They give you an additional 10% off your first purchase, ENTIRE purchase, when you open the CC. So doing that would bring this down to $1,170

This is funny, I was just wondering to myself the other day whether or not HF still sells this lift. I too have had this lift for 6 years and have used it a bunch. It's really, really beefy. I have had two problems with it: 1) The hydraulic fluid tank randomly developed a crack and leaked...

Are you putting 2x4's or something across the open plane of the dollies or what?

Do the flex head ratchets constantly get all floppy shortly after tightening them up like the HF non-ICON ratchets?

My dad was an auto master tech and started his own shop in the 1970's when he got back from Vietnam. Unfortunately he was killed in an accident back in 2001 when I was fresh out of high school and though I've been using this box incessantly ever since, I only recently got interested in the...

I'm not a professional mechanic but I've been working on/building cars since I was a teenager (15 years now) and have a ton of tools of varying brands, including quite a bit I inherited from my father who ran his own shop as an ASE Master Tech for 30+ years with mostly Snap On and Matco stuff...

Well I ended up just taking round 80 grit sandpaper discs I already had on-hand for automotive work and literally just sanded the brick by hand. It was pretty tedious but worked about as good as I could hope for all said and done. Thanks for the tips everybody. It looks A LOT better. Still not...

I briedly thought of sand blasting but having just finished blasting and repainting her wrought iron porch railings earlier in the summer (I removed them and blasted/refinished them in the backyard) I can't imagine all the mess that would make spraying directly at/towards the house. Although...

I've been working on re-painting/re-caulking some exterior wood parts on my mother's house this summer. Particularly, I'm working on the garage door overhang and there is an incredible amount of old overspray and incredibly sloppy caulking all over the brick. I can remember being a kid when it...

Just to follow-up with this thread - I decided that rather than trying to buy an entirely new tank or even ordering some fancy new glue or anything like that, I just went the free route first and it's appeared to work so far. I had this JB Weld 2 part plastic weld laying around and just used...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'd subscribed to this thread to receive e-mail notifications but evidently the e-mails had been going to spam so I was not aware anybody had replied. To answer one of the questions above, yes the tank is plastic.I pulled the tank off to get some measurements and...
