Hi........... I re-worked the "gas-lamp" wires in the junction box. As I said they were nasty, and quite loose in the wire nuts. One (black) wire was barely in the wire nut - I had to solder on some extra length to get it to fit comfortably. The bare copper wires were loose in the wire nut too...

Some of the wires in the wirenuts in the "gas lamp" junction box were either loose or not in the nuts but barely. I'm going to re-do it, new wirenuts, secure everything well, re-tape the nuts, etc. and see what happens. The condition of this junction box was nasty!!

Thanks so far guys...these are great ideas, but perhaps more than I choose to do myself. (I know when it's time to simply as "....and who do I make that check out to?) However, I've pulled the panel- no funny business in there I've pulled the outlet covers for the (2) sunroom outlets, no funny...

Ok.I think I Might have one. What am I supposed to be seeing? *UPdate...it just tripped again..this time only about an hour. My first course of action I think is going to be to open up the boxes, and junction boxes I've worked within before. See if I seen anything loose/strange going on.

Based on what I've previous seen, I'm assuming it's the gray "direct-burial" wire. That seems to be what builders used in this subdivision in the 80's. (How to find a wire break?) *UPdate...it just tripped again..this time only about an hour. My first course of action I think is going to be to...

Hi Guys.. So I come back from my Nashville business trip and my wife says that our sunroom breaker has tripped a few times. This particular circuit I'm familiar with. It's a 20amp circuit that feeds (1) double duplex outlet in the sunroom (of which only a TV & cable box are on) and then...

Looks fantastic. I've had my kit now for a few weeks, but I'm apprehensive about doing it in December in Michigan. The armor poxy Rep on here said the concrete slab should be atleast 50 degrees, and running my heat in the garage when it's in the upper 30's, low 40's outside I easily get the...

Sounds like the old adage about "storing a battery on concrete" - which too, has no scientific validity.

Using a "Gas Axe" is always worth a shot before brute force comes into play... Cheers... :3gears:

Estrogen escape indeed!! I have a 50" LG LED, and an 800 watt Sony Stereo. (nothing better than banging 80's metal while working on exhaust!):rocker: Yes, I definitely need "noise" when I'm working in the garage; silence is deafening itself. Cheers! :3gears:

Just used Kroil yesterday afternoon to take the big nut off my lawn tractor's transmission drive pulley. I figured based on the location, it was going to be a nightmare that was surely going to remove knuckle skin. I sprayed on some Kroil, let it sit for a few minutes while I did something...

I prefer (Milwaukee only) cordless, or CP pneumatic. I don't think I own anything in with a cord anymore; except my compressor.

..or online. Which is quickly becoming a preference!! A few yrs ago Milwaukee did me right, after their customer service(or lack thereof at the time) really dropped the ball! I ended up with their top dog 1/2" 18v impact gun for free!! Doing so, they got a customer for life!!! I won't buy...

Hello all... Was going to start my Armor Clad floor today and over the weekend while I'm off for the holiday. Armor Clad shows a tube of concrete crack filler on their site that looks like the same "DAP" stuff sold at the BB stores locally; I don't have time to wait for them to ship. Does...

When all else fails, there's always the "Gas Axe"!

Well written..and I've known this for years! The thing is that most BYM's don't need the authenticity, and don't want to pay for it either. I used to work at a place that fixed construction equipment. The fella that fixed the electrical hand tools told us once that the main difference between a...

You took the words out if my mouth. 20 yrs ago I did my first garage in copper..when it was cheap. This thread has now reminded me that I need to do my current garage. What about PEX? 20 yrs ago a friend did his garage using "hose", & guess what...20 yrs later it's still fine! Sometimes I...

Now it's time to insulate and drywall the walls.

...and please keep us abreast on the anti-skid additive while using the "military top-coat upgrade". I'm curious too.....

According to the instructions from Armor Poxy and the online video, the "anti-skid" is provided with the kit (or the upgrade kit) to empty into the top-coat prior to use.
