A last update on the garage floor. I just sold the house in May of 2023, 10 years after the install, and never had one tile crack. I loved having it for 10 years, and I already miss it at the new house. There was never a spill that couldn't be cleaned. Here's a last picture of work performed in...

I'm putting this in flooring, so the concrete experts can hopefully give some advice. I had a 18' x 38' outdoor patio poured in the late spring. I want to stain and seal it this fall, to tone down the brightness of the patio. I have a few patio tables on it currently, and one had a quart jar...

Thanks-I'm clear now. My mind's had eye overlooked the ground from the box to the ground lug on the 240 receptacle which connected everything.

I installed the RV/service box, with the 240/110 power. I now have a question for the electricians of the group. I understand I did NOT want to bond the ground in the attached diagram, because it would provide an electrical path back to the breaker panel in the house. I have it wired as in the...

I could go that route, but the box is 78.00 assembled with outlets and it's prewired. By the time I buy the outdoor boxes, conduit, outlets, and do the work, I think it will cost the same and maybe more, and still not be so clean looking on the patio.

Checked this evening. It's Romex Simpull 6 gauge with a 10 gauge bare ground NM-B rated at 600 volts. I see your point that the combined maximums could overload the run, if the cable is rated to 55 amps. Thanks for the help and I'll look to replace the breakers.

If the new box comes with a 50A breaker, do I need to update the service panel to 50A also, or can the 60 remain? I would think that as long as the new box is lower, it would be okay. I am NOT an electrician however.

There is a neutral existing in the spa breaker box. I just checked at lunch, and the box is supplied with power from the service panel by two 60A breakers. I will need to pull the service panel cover to confirm the wire size/type, but I'm assuming if it could handle a 240V spa with heat, it...

I had a 240V spa hardwired into a 240V GFCI outlet box on my patio. If it helps, it was a Calspa 8 person-circa 2005. The spa has been removed, and the box is sitting there unused. I'd like to put a box like the one below in place of the existing box so that I can have a 240V or 110V option on...

Sometimes I feel I'm in the wrong forum. :o I have a GMC Yukon with an autoride/leveling problem. It's either the compressor, or a ride height sensor, etc. Thanks 3 Gun, but I'll pass on the +2500.00 used Tech 2 to diagnose it. I'd could replace the entire air suspension for that, and with the...

Anyone have any recommendations for AutoEnginuity or something similar without the "Get a Solus" advice? Sorry, but the Solus at a good price one ebay/Craigslist easily could be a scam, and the reputable options far exceed the price point for a home enthusiast. Besides, you'd need to be very...

I'm doing this right now. I just bought an Amazon double monitor mount that clamps to a desk. I'm going to rivet mount it to the back of my HF 44" so the monitors wil sit just behind the boxes top surface. It's a desktop CPU, and I'm going to mount it on the left side wall of the box as well...

One question on the TPMS. I'd assumed that If I went with a new AC Delco for the Yukon, I'd just simply need to follow the re-learn process...is this not correct?

The drawing is much what I'd imagined, except mine would be from a gate post instead of a wall. I didn't think about the narrowing cut at the "bit", so thanks for that. I also wasn't looking at the correct HF tool though. I'd been looking at the upright version that also is used for...

I'd thought of attaching an 8' long double 2X4 beam to a fence post at near ground level, coming back about 8 inches or so from the post and having a pivoting "drop" piece, then using the other 7' as lever. Bringing this to the ground would create the leverage to remove the tire from the rim. I...
