This is marked down to $72.49 at some Menards. Thinking of picking one up for occasional use in my 2.5 car garage...

I recently bought a LED flood light with a photocell. I am not using this as a security light; I simply want it to turn on with a switch and turn off with a switch. I thought the photocell would not be a big deal, as naturally I only will use the light when its dark. However, there is about a...

I am getting ready to wire some new electric into the garage and have a question on GFCI placement. I am running 12/3 from the panel into the garage to feed two new 20A circuits. One is intended for some outlets around the garage, plus a light and exterior outlet near a service door. The second...

I have a house with attached garage (actually integrated garage - two bedrooms above the garage). Panel is located in the basement, opposite end of the house. I had considered adding two additional 20 amp circuits to the garage, but now am wondering if doing this work, would it be best just to...

Looking for suggestions on lighting layout for a 2.5 car garage with 10ft ceiling. The garage will normally be used to park 2 cars (but also pull the cars out for occasional big projects), and the half car portion used for storage and workbench. I will have separate task lighting over the...

I have a new home with a 2.5 car garage I am looking to insulate. The garage is mostly under living area, except it extends about 6ft forward of the house, and there is a 6ft bumpout on the side of the house. The walls and ceiling connecting to living areas in the house are already insulated and...

My home has a 2.5 car garage, with a 2 car portion under bedrooms, and a half car (6ftx20ft) bump out on the side. The two walls connected to the interior and the ceiling in the two car portion are already insulated and drywalled. I want to finish installation on the wall with the garage door...

Has anyone hooked up the 4ft LED shop lights with conduit? I would like to ceiling mount these in my garage, and connect through conduit instead of the included wired plugs. Want to know if the housing will accept the conduit easily, or will be a paint. Thanks!

I have a closet with a pull chain type light mounted to the ceiling, which I would like to change to a motion sensor. Hoping to do this without cutting any drywall. Any good tips? I was suprised not to find any decorative light fixtures with motion sensors built in. I do not need anything too...

Buying a newly built home, and one of the few items the inspector found was surface mold on a joist. This joist has an HVAC duct very close to it, and in some places touching. All the other ducts are centered between joists. The builder cleaned off the mold, but did not move the duct. Is this...

I am purchasing a new home which I would like to add a man door to the garage. Is it normal for the door to swing in or out? The cement foundation around the garage is about 10-12" tall. Is it best to leave this intact and put the door on top of this, or should I cut this out to make moving...

I am purchasing a new home with a noninsulated garage door, which I want to replace with an insulated door. I would like to do this right away, so I can sell the old door in like-new condition. I see new insulated doors typically come with springs, track, etc. Can I simply reuse the existing...

I am looking for a drill press, just for occasional home/hobby use. Looking to be in the $100-200 range, but may extend a bit if its worthwhile. Bench top is fine, does not have to be freestanding. Any recommendations in this price range? So far this looks like the best bang for the buck...

Hoping someone here might have some insight before I have to call a service company to look. Bryant gas furnace, circa 1988. Has worked well until yesterday, when the blower started to run continuously. The heat cycle will otherwise work like normal, except the blower does not stop after its...

Looking to get an opinion on this wrench set. It looks like a good deal at $54, minus $5 coupon. I have been wanting a set with a nice tray to sit inside my toolbox. This tray holds all the wrenched except the small ones, which is a bit disapointing. Any better options...
