This is in Los Angeles. Humidity is not a problem compared to the South. It's not a climate controlled space, but it is insulated and the temperatures don't really vary as much as my house does.

Hello everyone! I have an old garage workshop and I'm planning on putting down flooring very soon. I believe I may have "concrete dusting", as it seems to be always dusty in there (even on newly placed items within a couple of days) and I am able to scratch the surface with a philips head...

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm trying to go about 10-15 feet in buried PVC conduit. I'd want as close to gigabit as possible. The intent would be to have an office in the garage workshop that is fed from the home. Wifi doesn't have the reach. I think I'm going to keep investigating...

I've seen that there is plenty of info online about running phone through a CAT5, but what about the opposite? I've got two 4 wire lines that are running through underground PVC conduit between a detached garage and the house. I tried tugging from both ends of the conduit, and it doesn't seem...

No, it's detached. The garage is probably around 70 years old. Was it always the case that a main breaker is needed?

This is the garage sub panel. There is a panel outside that controls this along with another sub panel inside the house. Does this still need a main?

Please see the attachment. Are the two QOT tandem circuit breakers in the red boxes on the same phase/leg of the panel? I believe this to be a Square D panel and is a subpanel, not a main panel.

I have a Square D Single Pole Tandem Breaker as shown in the borrowed image below: Question - Do I need to have two hot wires connected to a tandem breaker, or can I just use this tandem as a single breaker by removing one of the wires?

I'm perfectly happy with deleting one leg of each branch circuit. Can I just remove one of the hots, leaving the other hot and a neutral for each? I assume I'm okay with leaving only one wire on each circuit breaker? One outlet can easily be wired to the opposite part of a MWBC since the whole...

So just to clarify, it sounds like you're indirectly also saying that I can just disconnect part of the MWBC to make it a regular circuit. The unwired circuit breakers can sit in the panel.

Yes, I have MWBCs, but from what you guys are saying, they're both on the same legs. I actually have two rows of this going on in the panel, but right next to each other: MWBC1 MWBC1 (sharing a neutral) MWBC2 MWBC2 (sharing a different neutral) It looks like the home seller (a licensed...

Please see the attached image of my main breaker panel. There is a subpanel to the house, and another one to the garage. It appears that I have a MWBC (two hots and 1 neutral wire between them), but there's only two outlets on it. The hot wires are connected to the circuit breakers in the red...

Assuming the same nail sizes, are air framing nailers less likely to split wood vs. using a hammer or palm nailer?

Really odd - it shows up fine in Chrome on the PC, but not in Firefox or Chrome on the iphone. The pic was posted to imgur, if that matters. Edit: pictures added in original post as attachments.

Here's a pic of the situation. Those are 2x4s going about 19.5 feet across the width of the garage/workshop. There's about 3/8" plywood covering most of the room, laid on top of the rafter ties. There's thin metal straps holding up the rafter ties and attached the the 2x6" rafters themselves...
