Just came from Costco and they have 4' LED on sale for 25.99. I have used these all ready in my garage with 12' ceilings and I like them.

Thanks for good feed back, as for a few of the questions, yes garage is attached, and the only reason for using flex was it will need be run through pipe in basement and to meet code and the final six feet will needed to be piped or run through flex. So its only a matter the expense for the...

I'm adding a table saw to my "man cave" the shop/garage and I have some concerns about power requirements. The house was built 4 yrs ago and the outlets are wired with 15 amp breakers. With a beer fridge and all the lights on the same circuit I guessing the breaker will trip when the 13 amp...

Can you run 3 sets of 14/3 w ground in a single armored cable ? Total length of run is about 12' Thanks in advance for your input.

I would like to convert a single switch in a bathroom to a 3-way switch. With everything finished and vanity in place can I run the new wire form the existing switch through the back of vanity cabinet using aa flex cable and still meet code? Installing the like this will avoid running through...

I reading all the input on garage heating etc, has anyone looked into using a in wall heater/ ac unit to heat and cool your garage? It seems like everyone uses the overhead heaters etc, but I would think this would be a noval way to kill two birds with one stone. Also, does anyone know the...
