    Opinions on LV wiring for landscape lights, potential IFTTT

    On the back of the garage I want to put a LV transformer to feed some accent lighting. I want to make it looks a nice as possible and I do not want to have wires showing. I also really don't want to have the box just staked into the ground. I know I could just put an outlet outside and have...

    I have two 18x8' doors and the top jamb piece (Not sure of name) are low in the middle and a bit higher on either side. I needed the motor housing level so I had to shim about 3/4" on the left side of door1 and about 1/2" on the right. On door two it's about 1/2" on left and 3/8" on right. I...

Anyone have any input, i know many are worth a pretty penny, am I best off going through each one and cataloging them? Some (Most) are 3/8" shank and some I...

    I accidentally knocked out the larger part of a 1/2" knockout while trying to get the 1/2"er out. So now I need go get reducing washers. My question is, is the washer based on the ID of the hole? The reason I ask is that the ID is 1 1/4" but it seems HD stocks the 1" to 1/2" but none of the 1...

    Anyone ever convert the HF 60LED motion light to 18650s?

    NIB the thing had 2 dead batteries in its "6V/900mAh" pack. I threw it on my RC charger and it took nearly 2000 mAh. Oddly still had only 4.1V. Checked each cell and 3 were at 1.3V and 2 were dead (.2V) Oddly I figured these cells would show 1.5V each when fully charged. Which would bring...

    Any way to affix a solar panel (Small 8"x8") without damaging shingles?

    I'm sure I know the answer but hoping maybe there is something I hadn't thought about. I have a small solar light w/ an external panel that I want to mount to my new shed roof but I'm leary about screwing into a shingle. Was hoping there was some other way. I don't really want to mount it to...

    Mailbox/post question

    I'm looking to get a new mailbox and I'm trying to understand the mounting on this. Do these generally slide over a 4x4 already in the ground? Reason I ask is that the bottom of the mailbox is supposed to be 41-45" from the ground but the posts these come with are 54" top to bottom. Now this...

    Garage drain and gutter question for you guys, back up issue

    Today we had a quick heavy bit of rain and my wife noticed our garage drain had slightly backed up over the grate. So she went into the basement and saw two small spots where water got in. One of them has been repaired at one point by the previous owner and has actually leaked before. I also...

    Garage screen question, looking for one that does NOT reduce ceiling height

    I was looking at the lifestyle screens for two 18'x8' doors but they seem to eat up about 8-12" under my existing track and either the main door or screen has to be down at all times (Can't have both down). This poses a problem as i have a lift and I need that space. I did see a retractable...

    Odd toilet sewage smell ONLY when surface tension is broken?

    It does not occur on any other toilet, the odor isn't in bowl and the toilet flushes quickly so I don't think there is an issue w/ the P trap or vent. I doubt the vent is clogged but i suppose it's possible. I wonder if it has something to do w/ my water filters. I did notice this odor on the...

    Acceptable to increase well pressure tank pressure?

    And if so, to what degree. I decided today to put a prefilter in since I had particulate clog my water softener mechanism the other day. Before I continue, I did not design this system :). It goes from the pressure vessel 1" for about 10' where it Tees off. One end of Tee is capped and the...

    plumbing union fitting question

    Hello, I am putting in a pre filter on a 3/4" copper line and would like to use unions for a few reasons. One to prevent heat into the plastic filter housing and 2 to allow for easy removal for whatever reason. The housing is a 1" MIP but I'm having issues finding a 3/4" copper pipe to 1" MIP...
