Yes I tested the 3 way and got 120 and nothing on the 2 way

Yes no breakers have been tripped

Just an update. There is no power when testing both wires to the box. I also replaced the switch just to make sure and the light does not come on so its not the switch. Could the issue be with the 2 white wires screwed together in the box? Otherwise it would seem that the wire is not getting...

Thanks, will tackle this next weekend as I ran out of time today Slowgsr, you said left switch but I presume you mean the right one in the photo ie the 2 way switch with the 2 wires? Am not having a problem with the 3way And yes apologies of I am not providing the right info Thanks

And yes the 3 way can be turned off/on from 2 different switches and the 2 way controls just 1 light (although none at this point as its not working) Thanks

I originally measured just between the 2 wires on the switch. So is there something wrong here or is the issue somewhere else ie with the light itself? Thanks

Heres a pic of my switch. The switch on the right is only showing around 20v at the wires and not turning on the lights. The one on the left shows over 100v and is fine. The working one has the 3rd red wire screwing in to that switch on a screw on the left side of the switch. The non working...

ZRX, now that looks cool! Nutts, thanks again and will revert once my cous has a look Thanks all!

Thanks olinrj will see what he says this wkend The steel beam already has a runner on it so i have thought the same thing (although hoping i dont need to pull my engine - 96 Porche) I really enjoy the garage thougb so will keep plugging along....:)

Oh and several of the supports arent real trusses as I understand the term rather they are just 2x4's attached to the roof and then somehow then balanced on the steel beam. Its all a mess really :)

Thanks for all the advice. I will insulate the current wall i am working on and then work to insulate the rest of the place. I will need to sort out the roof supports because as you can see below, as its set up its (1) not a very solid long term support set up; and (2) it would make it very...

Yes thanks, good pt on the caulking and sealing. More work needs to be done there asits far from air tight

Sounds like we both have the same issue (I have the other thread going) but maybe opposite problems....in Canada we welcome the sun so I am just worried about freezing to death in the winter :)

First off, thanks for some quick thoughts Second, yes it is a hack job done before my time so I am just trying to make the best of it Lugnut, yes I figured that would make the most sense ie insulate everything or nothing ie no point in having 2 walls insulated if u dont do the ceiling Nutts...

I am looking for some feedback on my garage plan (or lack thereof!!). Some background: - the garage is roughly 20x20 with the roof peak at about 12' - the level of the rafters across the garage is about 8' (pls excuse my terminology as I am sure most of it is incorrect given my experience...
