    Re: Bending Hardwood With Steam -- Or Not I’ve never steamed wood but I soaked in water to shape. After I remodeled my staircase last year, I needed a curved hand rail. There was never one installed some thirty years ago when the house was built. Now that my wife is getting older.....lol, we...

    Replacing a bunch of pot lights in ceiling?

    Google LED “wafer” style lights. I’ve been using them all throughout my home renovation projects. They’re super easy to install. I’ve been buying ten packs from Amazon.

    Looking to install a home generator, is there a good forum to ask a question?

    Check out zillerstore.com. They have a forum that’s really informative. I personally installed a Generac 22kw w/auto transfer switch last October. A week later, ended up installing one for my in-laws and one for my aunt/uncle. In addition to this forum, zillerstore.com really helped me out.

    Generator transfer switch ?

    I’m trying not to buy an expensive automatic transfer switch since I had a manual one. My power goes out several times a year for 10 or so hours at a time. In 2007, I was out for 9 days due to ice. Man, do you appreciate electricity after that. Anyway, thanks for all the replies. Thanks again...

    Generator transfer switch ?

    Does anyone know whether or not you can operate a Generac 22kw whole house generator with a manual transfer switch instead of an automatic transfer switch? Currently I’m setup with a Eaton 200amp manual transfer switch. I’ve been using a smaller portable generator in the past. I’m fine when the...
