I'm in the opposite camp, I should have gotten a lift decades ago but I'm getting one now because I'm too damn old to crawl around on the floor and scoot around on a creeper.

Ignoring attic conditions, if you put that stuff in the attic, and your attic is not convenient to access, you will probably want it powered by an outlet you can turn on and off without going up there. It seems about everything electronic needs to be reset from time to time.

If they use the same plastic that is on Gators it should be TPO plastic - thermoplastic polyolefin. If it were mine I'd try this kit from Eastwood: https://www.eastwood.com/tpo-teo-pp-plastic-welding-kit-80w-iron.html

Yeah. I got the patent, he got fired.

Yeah, color is entirely subjective. But that is how people see things. So when someone sees a 6000k light as blue and another sees the same 6000k light as white the color temperature is irrelevant to them no matter how precise it is. This reminds me of a manager I used to work for. I'd bust my...

The only thing I like about them is the energy savings. Halogen beats it for quality of light, and both halogen and incandescent have a more even beam spread and don't flicker. Even the supposedly long LED lifespan falls short of promises.

Utility knives and flashlights.

No HINT required, I knew it was his first post. It could be that he read all the glowing reviews of Racedeck here first, bought it, and wasn't totally satisfied. He acknowledged it's not a bad product and their support was good, he just wasn't impressed. Fanboys jump all over him as if their...

Thanks!

Do you have dimensions for the sink base cabinet? Also, as a suggestion, they really need to put a sprayer on those in addition to the faucet. That would be my emergency eye wash station!

Didn't sound to me like the OP really bashed the product. Mostly he wasn't impressed by it. Can't a guy have an opinion? I'm not impressed by it and won't buy it. My preference is for a rugged flooring that can survive welding and such.

I've got two Honeywell astronomical switches in the house. They've only been installed for 3-4 months but are working well and they kept their programming through a 6 hour power outage. Here's a link on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AP92N2/?tag=atomicindus08-20

4k for me, with 100+ lumens per sf. I don't care for the 5k+ lighting.

Good luck with your 890 Max. One I bought would open doors randomly even after resetting and reprogramming the whole system. If your doors start opening by themselves start pulling batteries to find which one is doing it. They generally operate OK but if there are problems like this suspect them...

I need a jackshaft opener of known quality so I'll go with the MJ line and hope it doesn't fail as reported above. For the house I can use traditional openers and I'll go with Marantec (german brand).
