    Almost done

    I started this project last September. Ending up having shoulder surgery so it took longer than planned. The first picture is what it looked like last year, I had done a little demo work. I screwed the decking on the small balcony from the bottom so there are no visible fasteners. I still...

    Electricians I need your help

    I have three man door lights that I need to install the boxes for. Do I just push the wire back inside the hole and use a hole saw to cut it out? Is there a trick so I don’t ruin the wire? What size hole saw? What kind of box? I know I could do some research and find out but I’m lazy.

    New power panel

    I'm doing a new addition to the garage and house. Installed a new panel today. My neighbor’s son who is an electrician did the job for $650 which is time and material. He is also dealing with the permit. Pictures are the old panel and the new. I think I got a good deal.

    Gate opener using regular garage door opener

    I made this gate that opens using a regular garage door opener. The cool thing is you can still open it manually. It has a string that opens the latch when the opener is activated. It's been in operation for over 10 years, I did build a new gate last summer. I got the opener form a friend...
