This may seem insignificant to you but I am not spending the $ they want for a new name brand one. This is an aftermarket opener for my Liftmaster. It has poor range but at least it will work as I am on the other side of the door. Can any of you identify the antenna on it? I am hoping I can add...

this is a test

I heat a 26'x48' garage with 14' sidewalls here in Minnesota. I usually keep the temp around 45-50*F through the winter and bump it up to 65 or so the day before I plan on working in there. The boiler heats the in floor pex system set up for 6 zones but I have all five wide open as it is one...

I currently have a Dupont whole house filter. It filters prior to my Kinetico water softener as I want to protect the softener as much as possible. I live in the country. My well water hardness is 3.5 gpg, the iron is 5 ppm, and the pH is 6.9. The pressure runs 45 to 65 psi. It used to be lower...

Last year I put up a garage addition. This caused me to update my 100 amp main house panel to a 200 amp, and the detached garage from 60 to 100 amp. I called for an inspection and the inspector asked me a couple of questions over the phone to make share things were pretty much correct before...

i am about ready to fire up the new in floor heat system in the new garage. I am contemplating on connecting the circulation pump to the same 20 amp circuit as the four garage door openers and two ceiling fans. Do you think this would be OK? Do you think the pump should be on its own dedicated...

I put the opener on my 10 x12 door. But I cannot fully open the door as it seems the opener needs gravity do get the door going in the down direction. I need to disconnect the door to lift it the final foot and a half so I can get my camper through. The opener will lift it that far if I program...

This is for a reference from possible search engines for those who are looking to change their appliance from three wires to four. If the pictures are gone, sorry, I must have moved them around in my photobucket. This is the three prong wire that will be removed from the appliance. This is...

I am configuring lighting for the shop. I have 22 hanging florescent fixtures. The plug in type. They read 120 volt. Each has two 30 watt T8 bulbs. I thought I would be fine with one 120 volt 20 amp breaker, 12 gauge wire and 20 amp reciprocals across the 14' ceiling. 20 amps x 120 volts x 80%...

I know some of these can be changed. This one looks as if it un bolts from the box. The catalog # is QOC32UF. I know I have 200 amp wire to the meter, so I would just have to run 200 amp from the meter to the load center, 10 feet or less. I want to put a 100 amp in the garage and to do that I...

I wanted American made. Guess not as SKF purchased Peer back in '08. Peer with mfg in China says they are wholly owned, independent brand. Funny they say that and then put their bearing in a SKF box.:willy_nil

I have never done this before. I plan on purchasing blown insulation from Menards and renting one of their blower machines. Here is the part I am worried about.... I have 8' between the trusses on a 26x48 pole building with 14' sidewalls. The cieling will be metal. I really do not want to walk...

I need to put down the pex tubing before the concrete comes. I will install the 2" high density insulation foam boards and tape the seams. My question is, do I put plastic down under the 2" foam insulation? If so, do I tape the seams or overlap them a couple of feet if not taping? The garage is...
