I wanted to share my thoughts and review on two very different light sources for the garage. I'm comparing Costco lights and hi bay commercial PrimeLights (made in the 🇺🇸) ➡️ Click here for the Review

... to the townhouse my wife and I are buying 😎 So we finally found a home we love that has a two car garage that's a blank canvas. Sorry no pics yet. One large garage door, needs ceiling & wall paint, better lighting (just has two bulbs in the ceiling) and debating between Racedeck or epoxy...

I want to put in a dedicated vacuum in the garage and looking for some real world experience. This will be mainly used for the cars. Thoughts about the Hoover Garage GUV Vac, Bissell wet/ dry vac, or the Vac Maid (made in USA? I want a wall mount as I like to keep as much off the floor as...

Sorry guys, not looking to be spammy, but we launched our product on Kickstarter and would really appreciate it if you took a look at it and shared your thoughts and hopefully share it with your friends. It's a stuff carrier that anyone can use... in the garage, sports fields, beach etc. Feel...

So the previous home owner was a handy man by trade. I wish I could find him online and tell people the **** he's done to this (my) house. He's done shotty DIY electrical work (open boxes and questionable splices), crappy sump pump pipe (didn't bother glueing a joint) and the newest "find"...

I'm fairly certain it's a gopher or something the size of a football. I knew it was there last year, but had not seen any evidence of it for a while so I assumed it moved on. Well what ever it is it did a number on my freshly laid mulch and found its way under my deck. Need to call my...

So I've neglected my planting beds for the past 2 years. In this time, weeds and such have taken over. I've been skimming the top inch to get rid of old mulch and weeds. Then replacing it with ~ 2-3 inches of fresh mulch. Adding newspaper as a weed barrier. My uncle tells me to not do extra...

I'm having a cold water line added in the area by the hose reel in the garage. Any suggestions or comments on placement or advice? BTW that electrical wiring will be fixed too.

So replaced 4 eyeball trim kits from my kitchen (1970's) with a 5"-6" retro kits. Nothing wrong with them. Local pick up in North NJ.

I was about to replace recessed light bulbs with a new LED retro trim kit. Removed the bulb and went to take off the trim, but the entire housing came out with the trim (one unit). Not what I expected. The housing has BX connected directly to the bulb receptacle. It's not nailed to the...

Installing a Lutron Caseta three way. The first pic I believe I attach to one of the Caseta black wires and the red to the other Caseta black wire and then the ground. As for the other switch I don't know what to do. That will be the pico remote and I have to tie the black and white together...

I'm trying to figure out the best USB wall outlet to charge iPhone and iPad simultaneously. Anyone have any real world experience?

My family room has two switches controlling 6 cans. One switch per row. I really don't know why it was done that way as I never only light up half the room. So I'm always pulling both switches on/ off. Can I tie them together with one switch? Is it as easy as just pigtailing all the wires...

I'm lighting up my basement gym... short ceilings at just over 7ft. The area is 20 x 12. Basic rectangle. How many cans do I need? Just space them out evenly? Thanks

I'll start with saying I've already got an electrician coming, but he can't get me in for a few days. Short story: Dead circuit w/ no known or seen tripped breakers and overvoltage on a different circuit. I'm no electrician. Scenario: While vacuuming, the outlet all of a sudden "popped" and...

This is what we inherited when we bought the house...Plenty of DIY handy work :dunno: Brought in some experts and had a larger panel installed as well as a generator panel. Very happy just in the overall clean up. Of course now that I'm prepared for a power outage, I'll probably never need it.

So I've found a leak that I don't know how to tackle... the leak is filling the tank where the salt pellets are contained. Is this something I should be able to do or call in a plumber? The overall unit. The leak is right by that black ring.... which is leaking into the tank Water slowly...

Newer homeowner here. Wife just found a few ants in our master bath (2nd flr). Ants overall don't concern me too much, but the fact they made their way to the 2nd floor in concerning. I spray the perimeter of the house exterior and basement inferior perimeter with Black Flag indoor outdoor...

So I'm thinking about how I'm going to light up the basement.... Semi finished with the "warehouse" look. The ceiling is open and wanted 23 cans installed. First quote came in at $2k... that took me by surprise since there's no drywall to cut or fish wiring. Browsing around Home Depot and...
