I did, but I don't have that many wires coming out of the wall and just wanted someone to take a look.

You guys are awesome. I will give it a try. If I did want the night light functionality, I imagine I would have to run another wire and use a third switch or a multi-swich? Thanks

I just put in a new Panasonic (FV-0511VFL1K) fan/light combo. It replaced an old Broan fan/light combo. There are two switches on the wall, one for the light and one for the fan. I want the new one to function just the same. So I took out the old fan and there's a wire coming from the attic...

Hi all, Thanks for the replies. Good points with regard to the bottom "cap" with drip edge. You're definitely right Doug about the dry rot starting. It was detailed in our inspection before we bought. Also the **** molding on the inside has been ruined on the bottom from past moisture. I'm...

Thanks for the replies. Ok, so no sweep. The water is only here during storms. Not sure if it made news everywhere but it's been raining a ton here in California. This area outside the door is a walkway between the house and fence. We store our garbage cans here mostly. As for a canopy, I'm...

Wow...thanks for all of the replies. I must have my notifications turned off or I would have checked sooner. As for the door, a couple of corrections. The slab just under the door is flat, and it is smooth. Also, the slab just under the door is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the slab...

My first winter in this house is showing me some things that need to be addressed. The side entry door to the garage does not keep water out. What are the best ways to address this issue. Here's what I know: The door is the orginal on this track house built in 1997 Door opens inward (bad...

Hi everyone, I just bought a Binks (Quincy) 210, and being fairly inexperienced in these things, I wanted to asked the experts on this site if it appears to be set-up correctly. Please note, these are the pictures of it as it was set-up at the shop where it used to live...I will receive all...

Thanks for the good info. Don't think I'm up for building a phase converter, so I shall keep my eyes open for a single phase compressor.

Thanks for the replies. In some of the cases I would not be able to hear it run. I was almost thinking that for $300 it doesn't need to run....it's such a rebuildable compressor. Good points regarding the motor. I don't currently have a motor or a source. But I too was thinking that the sale of...

Hi all. I'm looking for a new to me (used) compressor. My dream compressor is an older Quincy. I have come across a couple model 325...way bigger than I need but very cool. I also wouldn't mind an old Devilbiss. My question is this: is $300-$500 too much to pay for a compressor that has...

Thanks for the reply. I've never used an easy out so appreciate the heads-up. Thanks. Upon closer inspection, 3 are flush and one looks to be below flush. Thanks for that detailed reply Carla. Never thought of that method. I do have access to welding gear so I may just try this route.

Hi everyone...longtime lurker, you know the story. Anyway, finally found a Prentiss Vise. I've been looking for quite a while. Pretty damned good shape, except missing one jaw, and all four jaw bolts are broken flush! I know. Anyway, since many on here have gone before me, I was looking for...

Also...just curious. Who is the owner of the page that was linked to with the Prentiss vise info? There is lots of missing data and some incorrect data. I would like to help. Thanks

Great restoration! I just picked up one of these old Prentiss vises yesterday off of Craigslist. I had been searching for a Prentiss specifically because I like them. The one I got is a Prentiss #96 which is 155 lbs. Way too big for my needs, so not sure if I'll keep it forever or just restore...
