    Costco Arcan 3.5 ton jack

    Just picked one up from Costco after reading about it all over forums that date back 5+ years! 3.25 version for $99. Everyone was staring at my cart. :rocker:

    Existing light switch and light --> 2 switches and light and fan

    Yeah, I have an attic above and it was fairly easy to run the additional wire down to the gang box as there was already a wire there for the light.

    Existing light switch and light --> 2 switches and light and fan

    Oh I see, the 14/3 w/grd is a 2 hots (black and red) 1 neutral (white) with grd? The neutral or grds don't connect to the switches? I just ran a 14/2 w/grd and have the existing 14/2 w/grd; closed up the attic and put all the blow-in insulation back. :( Is there a correct way to use two 14/2...

    Existing light switch and light --> 2 switches and light and fan

    If the title isn't clear enough, I'd like to wire a ceiling fan + light with a switch for each the fan and light. I have an existing switch that controls the current light (which will be taken down). Coming into the gang box, I have the power source (hot/neutral/ground) going into the switch...

    Ernst wrench rails?

    I got the 40 set by Ernst - holds 20 forward and 20 reverse, non-low profile. I put them in a 2.5" deep Craftsman drawer (actually has about 3" clearance to the next drawer above). This is the ~10.5" front to back drawer, so not the larger base drawers. I had to cut (easy) 4 slots off -...

    Socket Organization

    I love this! I just went plain Metric in one drawer and Standard in the other. Now I need to spend some $$$$ :( I noticed your writing was black. I assume you just colored it in with a black Sharpie. I found it very easy to do by just "dabbing" the marker on the raised lettering, rather...

    My “Class Act” Trailer's Structural Integrity Failure

    OCG, very unfortunate for certain. My main concern is that you are still using this hauler. Sounds very much that material and production were varied at the time of your purchase. It is not hard to make the jump and question what else on the hauler could be compromised. You may very well not...

    Installing garage sink, below drain. Can I?

    Thanks, in this case I'm looking for a small one, preferably with no resevoir, like the "garbage disposer" type you mentioned; if you find it, please let me know. Yep, I installed one of those for our wet bar, works quite nice and is fairly quiet with a tv and a few people in the room!

    Installing garage sink, below drain. Can I?

    I'm looking for one like this for a laundry room sink; should be able to take bleach. I can't seem to find the right name for them, can you point me to one at plumbingsupply.com ?

    Does left over PEX have any value?

    If it doesn't work out, maybe recycle it? :beer:

    Requirements for lifts (voltage, compressor, etc.)

    Good thing to point out, I never would have thought there were differences like that in operation; thank you.

    Requirements for lifts (voltage, compressor, etc.)

    Thanks for all the replies. I am looking to find a 120V unit, since speed is really no issue for me, that doesn't require a compressor (I kept reading about the safety locks being operated by air...). As my search continues, it looks like there are plenty of lifts that can be used "manually"...

    Requirements for lifts (voltage, compressor, etc.)

    Hello all, I'm new here and have been reading up on most of the lift threads. I plan on getting a 4 post as it will be used more for storage. I believe I will have the garage door clearance worked out as I will have the high lift tracks installed and the ceilings are ~11'. Along with...

    What do I put over the windows in my garage?

    I have those also. They allow a decent amount of light to come through while retaining privacy and look nice from the outside.
