I'm adding a 240v 30a outlet and multiple 120v 20a outlets in the garage. I'm going to surface mount EMT. What is the minimum number of wires I need and do I need to pull a separate bare ground wire or can I use the conduit as ground? If yes on the ground wire, can everything share the same...

Two years ago I installed 9 LED fixtures I bought from Menards. They appeared to be a great choice with their 5 year warranty and low price.. Now, two years later they are considerably dimmer than when new. I thought it was my imagination until I installed two more over work benches. The new...

I have a Porter Cable FN250 finish nailer and the latches on the case finally broke. Does anyone have a good suggestion for finding a replacement case or a suitable storage solution?

I have a two stage, 80 gallon air compressor that is mounted to the pallet it shipped on. At my old house the thing was sitting between the wall and stairs and didn't move. Now, in my new garage it moves across the floor when running. I put rubber anti-vibration pads under the corners but it...

I recently added an attic stairs and floored the center of the attic. I just moved into this house and it was a big downsize. Now I have boxes and boxes of "stuff" I don't want to discard but don't have room for. This will help a lot.

Last week I installed my Mitsubishi mini-split and today the HVAC guy came and hooked up the line set, pumped it down and started it. It appears to be working fine.
