What appears to be the original chart of the breakers list them as 20's.

I know that under today's code its not acceptable to. I have Googled it and just find people repeating new code. My house was built in around 72. I opened a spot in the drywall and found 14 gauge wire to the outlets. I have 3 circuits that are 20 amps. It's original to the home and so are the...

i know people love the no care required pvc fences but its really not very true. i had a wood one at my old house and beside replaced a few screws after a few years did nothing to it. we have pvc around our pool and it gets mildew stains on it and the lawnmower scratches the hell out of it. had...

my suggestion to you is the contractor that will anser the phone and show up everytime. here in the midwest they are all happy to give you quotes ect.. when show time starts spring-fall. you will become a contractor hater. my advice to you is to not be understanding. theres always a excuse with...

have a wayne dalton in the regular garage. never had a problem with it. had a lift master at the old house and it seemed kind of touchy. just put a medium duty lift master in my shop for 11 foot height door and wow it is way quieter than the little ones.

another thing you may want to consider is getting your contractor locked in now. looks like your going to need some dirt. can be hard to find at times close to you. if you select a contractor he can keep a eye out for some close by and have it hauled in. i felt like i was waiting on dirt to show...

i have a similar problem. i think a trench drain would be your best option. the other ones may work but could have a future problem with a really bad rain. a drain tile with the sock all the way across would be a cheap option also.

dont see your location but road salt and spary could do it.
