I just installed a NCB -210 in my garage hydromic heating system. Everything seems to be working but it won't turn on when my circ pump turns on. I thought it was an on-demand type device. Do I need to wire in a curcuit that tells it the circ pump is on? I can flip a dip switch and make it...

Hi folks, been awhile since I've been on the board, life, well you know. This isn't so much about a garage but could be information needed sometime. I just bought a house that is built on a slab. The house set empty for about a year. I don't think it was winterized properly. All the...

Is there any way to check an electric clutch on a Craftsman lawn tractor? It keeps blowing the 30 amp fuse. I checked it with my ohm meter and it reads 0 across the coil of the clutch. That doesn't seem right to me, but???

I have a garage door with a Liftmaster opener facing east. On a sunny morning the door will open just fine, but won't close unless you over ride with the big white button inside the garage. After about 12:00 noon, the door will close just fine without using the over ride. I'm pretty convinced...

I have a chance to buy a Miller Welder 250amp, cooler for tig torch, tig torch, all the leads and a nice rolling cart for it all, for $2000. It's 10-12 years old, and I know the guy that has it. He got newer, bigger machines. Is it worth $2000?

That will take the outside temp into consideration when determining the early on time of the heat source so when the temp is falling outside faster and farther than normal or a set number of degrees, it will anticipate and start sooner to limit the undertemp or vis-a-versa the overtemp if the...

About 3 weeks ago I installed a two post lift, a Bendpak XPR-10C. Installation went well, my brother and I spent about 6 hours the first day and about 4-5 hours the next day to finish it up. That's counting time to eat lunch, etc. Overall quality of the lift seems very good. A few little...

In my old garage I used an old Panasonic boom box. It has played non-stop for the last 25 years or so. Still going today, but I want something better for my new part. I have an old receiver I want to connect my laptop too. Stream music from the laptop to the receiver, but still have FM...

Can someone suggest a simple 120VAC timer that will run a fan for 5 minutes every hour or every two hours, 24/7. The fan draws no more than 1A. If the power goes off, I don't want to have to re-program it.

I have a new RG-6 cable pulled to my new garage along with a couple of new Cat 5E cables. I plan to connect the RG-6 to my drop amp in the house, hoping it will boost the signal enough to have a good picture in the garage. The run to the garage is about 60' then another 25' to the TV in the...

I have OSB on my walls. Please no lectures why Drywall is better. Let's leave it at, each to his own. Can someone suggest a white paint that will cover in at least 2 coats? That's a primer coat and a finish coat. No doubt to much to ask for one coat coverage on OSB. I bought some of...

In a older thread,here, I explained how I set the expansion tank pressure the same as the supply pressure in an effort to control system pressure. Now I wonder if that is the correct way to do it. The problem is in my open system, the system pressure continues to creep up untill I drain off...
