Well dang, we must of had the same builders. One circuit that has 13 sockets, 5 light switches, some a fair load (fridge), backstapped every single box, all Daisy chained off the first box. A stupid lazy jackass mess. Is that much on a single breaker even code? I don't think I have ever...

The China bulbs often fail to last as long as the manufacturer says the will. I have a bunch around my house including the small base ones like you need. I like that I can get LED bulbs in 500 Kelvin (daylight), seems brighter. But I have also had the spendy name brand bulbs fail also. Pays you...

Nope I was wrong. Mine is a step up at 10" and 1/2 horse. Been a darn good work horse. Ken

That looks like mine. I'm not at home right now, bit if I don't forget (yeah right), I check. Don't hay the manual anymore, but got it in the early to mid 80s. Been A great little tool. Replaced the Chuck once. Had to use blue locktight on the handles to keep them for constantly backing out. The...

That's a good thought, unless the sensor was right in front of me, but then that imposes other issue perhaps unless it was pointed at the house garage door. A sensor mmy just not be worth while Ken Sent from my V10 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys I had already planned one master switch right at the door I use for to and from. Looked at way many sensors, and like you said the ho for a wide sense angle. So one sensor after the master light switch. And then zone switches. Thanks so much for the input. Ken

I am basically building up a garage work shop. For lighting I am using LED 4' shop lights from Walmart. They are 5000k, 5000 lumins lights. They pull 45 watts each. So far I have installed 7 and plan to add at least 3 more just for my current needs, 450 watts. And as I add new tools and new work...

Well that is certainly on most off list now. Never seen or heard of anything like it. Would certainly like to know more history of this odd mairrage.

Heat (moderate) is your friend. Look at my avatar. That is on of the things I do and have since a teen. I have had numerous rc glow engine carbs froze up solid. It the castor oil. I have pull all the delicate parts (gaskits, rubber O rings, ect) and put in oven for few minutes at minimum temp...

Thanks guys Looks like I will get me a new attic access.

Hi We live about a 1000 sq' house built in '76. Has a lowish pitched roof being in the middle of Ca, no snow loads. The access to both the attic and sub floor is in the master bedroom closet. I can get to either ok. But the attic access only lets get to the back of the house without to...
