If you filled the expansion joint with concrete it's more then likely going to crack. Remember that expansion joint is their for a reason to help avoid bigger cracks. I would fix the little cracks even though your not going to see them. Not sure about the painters caulk but I know Lowes and HD...

Will companies like Suburban and Amerigas fill used propane tanks that you buy off of Craigslist? Normally you don't get a receipt so won't they be reluctant to fill it since its difficult to prove that you own it?? When I talked to Suburban they wanted proof of ownership unless they were just...

Fastback How are you planning on heating the floor? Don't you already have a concrete slab?

A detached garage can also keep the noise farther away from the house thus keeping the misses happier. Some of the HOA's can be real nasty.

Home Depot and Lowes around here.

Looking for some help here. I just bought and wired up two lighted 3 way switches. Both switches work okay but only 1 lights up. Is it me or a design flaw? Ive got two travlers wires going to the screws of the same color. The one common goes to power and the other common goes to the lights. All...

Does it matter where the wires go in a panel? All my wires including the service wire all come in from the top. I want to add another wire for a sub panel but their is no room at the top. Is it okay to come in from the side or the bottom? I would think it wouldn't matter since their are...

What size images are you uploading?

Shoot first ask questions later. Wow so does this mean that if I go on vacation for two weeks and my son invites someone over while we are gone I can't ask them to leave when the wife and I get back? I feel sorry for the old guy especially since its his step son. Seems to me he should be able to...

Wow way cool. Nice job. How fast does an air powered hoist move?

That was one of my worries that the 100 amp breaker wouldn't fit with the 2/0 AL wire. Will it fit with 1/0 wire? What are polaris connectors? Would it make since to use a junction box since the 2/0 wire is cheaper then the 1/0 wire?

My "Breezeway" is basically a 4 foot wide open on the sides connector between the house and the garage. It will be enclosed on the ceiling portion which is where I plan on running my service wire. I'm guessing one calls this the "attic" space not sure what else to call it. In Harford County...

Is it okay to run copper service wire through the attic and several feet into both buildings? Why is service conductor wire smaller then branch or feeder wire sizes? 100 amp breaker can use 2 gauge alum service wire but a branch circuit of 100 amps needs 1/0 Al or 2 gauge CU?? Can you hook the...

Okay here goes. I've got a attached via a 54 foot long breezeway, 2 story garage plus attic . I've got two 200 amp panels in the house. The one panel is lighlty loaded so I want to install a 100 amp breaker in it and run 4 wires from the breaker to a 100 amp panel in the garage. Since the wire...
