The box is deep! I have one similar to that now. I did notice the 4.8" but in the reviews I noticed a guy said it barely fits with standard walls. Good eye tho!! I may run into a problem with it. I have not added all the watts up on it but I know it's been tuning fine for a few years now on a...

Of course I haven't...lol...that's what you guys are for! I have heard of them but the idea thought was buried away. That's probably a good idea. Say I did do a whole house surge protector....would these protected outlets add additional security or waste of money?? They are $35 each. But well...

Yes, definitely using 12/2 wire. There will be things like router, tuner, PS3, cable box, IR remote blaster, TV, DVR on that circuit. Some of which will be running nearly constantly. 20 amp is obviously enough but it's not beyond reason that I won't tie into it later for something else

Yeh, I expect it is fine tho not an electrician. None of my other 2 add on circuits have burnt my house down yet, but the game ain't over. Is it going to meet code?? Well...U'd have to ask an electrician!

this isn't a garage project but i know you guys know the answers. this is actually going to be a line run to power my AV equipment. currently i am running about 7,8 devices on a single undedicated 15 amp outlet with bulky surge protector that i need to get rid of for space saving and wire...

Looks like about 4 lights down each side of house with motion light halfway that pretty well covers the spectrum the windows are in. Likely will do 2-4 light in back along with motion light. These are only 8 watt cans with 50 watt equivalent and I can do up to 1800 watts on 20 amp circuit. The 3...

That looks good woodzy!! I ran wire and put 3 outlets in on Saturday night and Sunday. One on each front corner and one in cieling of front porch. The way I do my Xmas lights this should allow all my lights and such to run from one switch. I have the switch for the recessed lighting dead ended...

i stand corrected...eaves....il go to the proofreading forums first. everyone else knew what i meant. im in houston so while it is cold right now i shouldn't need any heat on the gutters. thanks guys. some good ideas. i particularly like the idea of recessed lighting in the eaves. if that...

I'm going to run power to the eves in the next couple weeks. I have already run the power to a covered box in the attic. I did this last year when I added a circuit in the garage with outlets and fan. My primary purpose is to have a socket at each corner of the front of the house for Xmas...

I couldn't get any HD110 by Wednesday or Thursday so I just bought some rustoleum epoxy shield patch and got it down today since its gonna be so cold for the next few days. In fact it's gonna be too cold in Houston to put down the epoxy until possibly Saturday. Hopefully saturday so i can get...

one other question. when i asked the epoxy coat if/what to use a primer they said its not necessary. said to apply a thin coat and then a thicker coat 18hrs later. while i respect that advice it goes against my logic. what if any primer do you guys use? Pics still not working:mad:

Sorry....pics not loading for some reason. il work on that!! Planning on rolling on some epoxy coat this weekend but have a few questions first. Is a standard 2 car garage with some significant oil stains, other fluids, paint, adhesive, general scrapes, gouges, and pitting. This is the next...

This is what I ended up doing. Junction box in the attic where main line comes in from breaker. From there down the wall to a GFcI and 2 more plugs down the wall. Also from the junction to the fan control and the to the fan. Also from junction box I ran an extra plug in the attic for lights or...

Per current code, ALL 120V outlets installed in garages MUST be GFCI-protected. There are several ways to do this, the easiest/simplest/cheapest of which would be to use a standard GFCI-duplex outlet in the "first" box in the chain, powered directly from the circuit breaker; then run the other...

from circuit breaker it will be directly to 1st plug then to 2nd plug, then to 3rd plug, over to speed control and lastly to the fan. the fan doesnt have to be on its own circuit does it? The speed control doesn't effect the plugs if its placed after them does it?
