@mgladden2 off topic somewhat, how do you like this system? I'm looking at installing one but also trying to compare with the 40MAQ. Wondering if the additional cost for the Infinity 40mpha is worth it?

Hey all, I recently purchased an Ecobee 3 which comes with the remote smart sensor. I was hoping to use this as a sort of damper system. I have the main thermostat in the living room by the front door, and can run the house at 78. At night time, I need our bedroom to be 70 in order for the...

Makes total sense. Thanks for the help here!

Thanks for the response Cybrdyke. Could you elaborate on what you mean by LEDs devouring photocells? I thought I got your drift, but I don't think I do. I've used many of these photocells and when they have a bad connection or they go to ****, the bulb flickers instead of being constantly on...

Thanks for the response Bert (and everyone else). Great conversation for sure. Sorry for the delay, was out in the yard laying sod the past couple of days. The photo cells do have a neutral, as I installed them personally somewhat recently. The previous ones were quite old and when one died...

Hey folks, Weird LED symptom happening over here, wanted a pro's opinion. I have 3 outdoor lighting fixtures that take GU24 CFL bulbs. The lights are all on the same 20A circuit and have photocells. With them running overnight for about 10 hours, I wanted to switch these CFL bulbs out to an...

Thanks for the info here Viper. I was thinking the same thing here but didn't want to start drilling if there was a different method. I'll work on that today and see if that solves my issue here. Much appreciated for the help everyone.

Hey guys, I have a Gladiator Geartrack in my garage and had bought an extra box of J and L hooks for the 2nd track. I'm having a HELL of a time getting these J and L hooks to stay put in the track. I have been using one of the J hooks to hang my leaf blower, and every time I go to take the...

Thanks for the reply rok_hunter and mbarone. I think you both may have hit the nail on the head that was I being to overly concerned about the mesh look. After seeing your posts, I'm wondering if I was pretty much there and it would have been solved when I painted using a roller. :( Just...

Thanks for the reply. I did a great deal of dry wall before but it was 10+ years ago and I had someone helping that was knowledgable about it. We used paper tape and it wasn't nearly this difficult. The feathering is part of my problem. I do small electronics work successfully but for some...

Hey guys, I was attempting to do medium sized drywall patch on my own, because I have the AMPLE time right now and am on a tight budget. Unfortunately, I'm at the tape and compound stage, and it's going terribly bad. About to head back to Home Depot and wondering if anyone has any suggestions...
