    A/C Disconnects no punch out on top.

    I have noticed that most of the a/c disconnects do not have a punch out on the top of the unit. So, if I have a conduit coming down from above, do I need to go into the side via an elbow?

    So, can one use schedule 40 pvc as a sleeve on a portion of the UF cable that is exposed outdoors? What type of box or transition would you use going into the wall?

    What is the best way to wire the Mini Split?

    The panel is flush mounted which require that I open the walls. I was looking for a way not to do that. Also, looks like it would be difficult to putt an elbow in the walll to turn outwards. Could I put a junction box right outside the wall on the siding and run romex to the junction box and...

    What is the best way to wire the Mini Split?

    So, that means that wire will not be in a conduit when it enters the wall and when it enters the subpanel or are u suggesting that I route the conduit inside the wall all the way up to the subpanel?

    Scaffolding - rent, buy or DIY?

    Starting to work on my garage while the contractor continues work on the outside. Since I have 12' high walls, I find it challenging to work up high. Choices are: 1. Work on a tall ladder - constantly going up and down and moving the ladder. 2. Buy a portable scaffolding unit - most are 2x5'...

    Sound Deadening a Lift

    I have a newly installed Bendpak XPR-10A-LP. My garage is new and uncluttered. The noise from the locks engaging when the car is being lifted is loud. Each time a lock is hit, it sounds like a hammer hitting a 55 gal drum. I was thinking of putting some dynamat or other sound deadening...

    New AWF Polyurea Floor Coating by Garageflooring LLC

    I noticed that you did portions based on the cut lines in the concrete. I don't have any lines. If I do a 25% at a time, will I see an edge with I stopped and resumed coating?
