I appreciate the explanations. Just being able to research the terms used here by everyone gave me a better idea at what I should be looking for. The guy I used was allegedly an electrician according to his ad and not someone I was familiar with. I won't be doing this job myself but now I can...

Thanks for the replies. I am looking at the information to try and educate myself a little on all this. It's very helpful and I will know a bit more now when I talk to the next electrician.

I will repeat it again. I DON'T FOOL WITH ELECTRICITY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT. I know I look like a fool and that I am possibly trolling the people on here that have helped me in the past, which I wouldn't do. I paid a professional electrician to wire it in for me and this is...

Yes, it's real and, yes, I paid him. He assured me it was fine and, as I have admitted, I didn't have the necessary knowledge to dispute his assurances. In the past, relying on a professional has worked for me more often than not.

It looks like the compressor has a 5 HP rating. The panel is directly behind the compressor. The compressor and electricity to my shed are the only things on it. I use the electricity in the shed for a light and occasionally to charge an ATV battery.

I purchased a BelAire 60-gallon compressor that needed a 240V circuit. I generally don't fool with electricity and the thought of fooling with a 240V circuit convinced me to hire an electrician. The way he wired it up to the plug always concerned me a bit. The wire on both ends is very loose...

Thank you all for the advice! I think I have a good idea where to start, repairing and patching the door frames. I will look for some videos on a good way to do that then replace the hinges with the Blum face frame hinges. I'm going to look at new doors as well.

Recently we purchased a condominium we plan to use in the winter months only. We wanted something affordable for us and knew it would probably involve needing to make some improvements. Our first project is to do something with our kitchen cabinets. The cabinet doors are all loose and it...

Thank you for your help. I put some added weight on it and it went down. Tested them again and they are working as they did when I last used them. GJ saved me some added grief as they usually do!!!

I did try standing on it and pressing the down button but no luck. I'll try some more weight and see if that helps.

I have owned a Quickjack BL-5000SLX for several years now. In the past, I used it without any issues every winter to perform maintenance and detailing some of my vehicles. I didn't use it last year (heart surgery) and stupidly forgot the warning not to raise the frames all the way without...

Thank you for your replies. I hadn't taken the wires off yet when I posted this. Both wires were covered with a white insulation-type cloth. After removing it, I saw one was black and one was white. I was able to see which wire went to the center tab then so that worked for me. I appreciate...

I know this is extremely basic for most of you but I need to ask. I am replacing a broken porelain light socket in a ceiling light. Both wires appear similar to me and the connector is something I'm not used to. Do I just place the wire under the screw like I normally do? Which wire would go to...

Just an update that gave me a good laugh. I was watching a video of a rebuild of a Kawasaki Brute Force engine for another issue. I found a guy that knew what he was doing. He mentioned that the adjusters were different than other manufacturers. He solved the problem by bending a square head...

The Kawasaki website does direct you to call your dealer if you have a tech question. I bought the ATV from an eBay dealer. When I called the dealer near me, he could not have been ruder and told me he would only work on vehicles bought at his dealership. I haven't called him since and never...
