Old outlet goes away and is just a junction box? Yes. Old outlet stays and you attach the 14# to the outlet and run over to a box for the lights? I THINK SO. Since the supply for the outlet is the 12#... I don't know anything about low voltage transformers... What's the gain by going low...

NEC has an exception that allows for 14# to be spliced into the 12# branch circuit (leaving a 20 amp breaker) (the exception extends to other gauges as well) provided the tap has sufficient ampacity for the load served. If you wire the light directly, you will be OK. If you put a receptacle...

Had a '74 once upon a time. Great little car. Cornered better than any car I have ever driven. Almost like a go kart.

Ummm... WOW :bowdown::drool::drool:

For future reference, you can get the Werner model at Lowes for $24.97 from time to time. I've picked up three of them. Great for painting, drywall, hanging trim, etc. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Werner-3-29-ft-x-12-in-x-20-56-in-Aluminum-Work-Platform/999946108

Buy a new socket...

But if you have the floor space you can get storage AND the press...

^^This^^ I too have a bench top on a rolling base with storage. Drawers with bits and attachments for the DP and an open cubby at the bottom for oversize storage. You can roll it anywhere in your shop to accommodate drilling into a long stock. Best of all worlds - mobility, storage and of...

3/8" for a tire rotation? Should be using at least 1/2". I wouldn't expect a 3/8" to do that kind of work...

You guys are killing me! haha The original plan was no laser level at all. Then got the wife on board. She cringed at the cost of the two plane... So the original incremental cost was $225... Got 10% off list. Now I've got to go back for another 100 bucks... But... Get the tool for the...

I looked at this one. Fit the need. And I have a lot of DeWalt... $63 for a laser level with a tripod!?!? Can't get hurt, that's for sure. I have traditionally hung cabinets with 2, 4 and 6 foot levels. I was looking for something a bit more interesting. And my wife concurred on the...

What is everyone using for a laser level? Specifically interested in something for cabinets setting/wall applications.

Hmmm... I would disagree. In fact, I think the backerboard is of utmost importance... You need a substrate that bonds well with mortar. Plywood, not so much. As to thickness, I'd think in terms of 3cm, or between 1" and 1 1/4". This is consistent with standard countertops. Also, what will...

I put unfaced batts in my attic. BRUTAL work. Use the blown in. Much easier and just as effective.

I can't imagine that insurance is substantially cheaper. Additional cost will also manifest itself in the slab... More weight equals beefier footings... Engineering question. Frame/SIPs will be more than adequate. There are plenty of tie down options that satisfy structural needs. As for...

Why not set out a different draw schedule entirely? If you are that concerned, have the contractor break out the work into component parts with pricing and as each milestone is reached pay the proportionate percentage withholding 10% retainage until the end of the project. This is how...

Everyone has valid points, but your true question is would your method be acceptable. I think you have to ask yourself what variance you would be happy with. Using a straight multiplier would give you a rough idea and get you close, but "close" is a relative term - relative to the person using...
