I walked into HomeDepot the other day and saw those wireless remotes, as well as a few other brands/models. I guess there is a receiver that mounts up in the fan unit that gets a wireless signal from these things to control everything. Rather expensive, but probably worth it when compared to...

Sounds like I need to get up into the attic space and take a look around. I believe it is going to be 12-2 (possibly 14-2) wiring with plastic, non-fan rated boxes nailed to the structure. It's probably not in any type of conduit. The fourth room is actually an open loft right now that is the...

In all 4 bedrooms in my house, I'd like to replace the ceiling light fixtures with ceiling fans (including lights). It's a three year old house if it matters. Rooms 1, 2 and 3 have a standard ceiling light fixture in the middle of the ceiling controlled by the only switch in the room. Room 4...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Replaced the springs and shocks/struts in my 02 Focus with gear from an SVT Focus.

Fus Roh Dah!!!!

I think they said he was a software engineer who sold his company/idea, for apparently big $$$.

Here is an alternative: Each socket group (1/4 MM deep, 1/4 SAE deep, etc) has one dimension that is the same for every socket in that group, the socket height (measure drive end to socket end). You simply have to cut (router, jigsaw, whatever) a single large box from the MDF/foam for each...

Alright guys, school me on homeowner grade scanner tools and apps out there that are compatible with iPhone/iPad? Ready... Set... GO!! Thanks.

Sign me up too, free tools are always good. :rocker:

OP, I've been eyeballing this exact same box in my local sears for the last few days and have been pulling my hair because I can't find any info on it online either. How are you liking it so far? Also, if you don't mind, what did you pay for it.

based on sears.com, it certainly appears like there are some new offerings. no indication though that the griplatch are disappearing. the price of the 8-drawer griplatch certainly doesn't indicate any kind of close out... yet.

I haven't experienced this. I have two chargers. One is maybe a year old, the other is four or five years old. There is always one battery plugged in at all times to each charger. I actually rarely get to use the tools, so there have been occasions where a battery could be sitting there for...

I've got the 1/2 drill, 3/8 right angle drill, 1/2 impact wrench, 1/4 impact driver, and 7 1/4 circular saw. 4 ni-cad batteries and two single chargers. there are always two batteries on the chargers. Just used the impact wrench for some suspension work on my 2002 focus a few weeks ago. No...

Thanks. I assume you mean the units above the workbench. It was all pretty straightforward since I used a Kreg jig to do the pocketholes. I don't think I would have even attempted it without that $100 jig. The hardest part was cutting everything square and to the same dimensions without a...

Here is what I've done in my garage. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92954
