I like this part, getting to spend someone elses money. before we get to the garage, have the NG line upsized NOW from the main to the house so it will be capable of the extra demands, have the NG going to the house furnace and hot water, also have the line Tee off to go to your deck area for...

save your money, and spend a little more now and get the T-8's the 12 still work, but the tubes are getting harder to find, price is going up, and when the ballast goes, well good luck, just get the T-8's now and be done with it, and no worry when the ballast craps out. other side note, the...

it should pull thrue, not sure about your fill thou, think you may be over, but yea lube can help if there are lots of bends or long pulls, just use a proper wire lube, not whatever you have handy, HD sells it along with most other places, its been designed to not break down the insulation on...

cant speak on the NEC if you were up north and used the CEC I would say hell no not code legal. but I would bet that conduit THRUE a box would be a huge no no, if its like ours, just terminate conduit at box, pull thrue box into new connector and conduit. again, not up on the NEC, but the...

hey cant help much with your wiring sizes, but maybe can help with a little tip that I have found works well in the past, between your boxes consider running Drip irrigation tubing, its dirt cheap, flexible works as a great conduit to pull wires later,and comes in 100 foot rolls as cheap as 10...

cant see a problem with it, it wont increase your pressure, but should double your CFM, I would make it a point thou to add a shut off valve to each one thou in the event you have a failure in one of the units, at the same time you could adjust the pressure on settings of the two units, so on a...

I am going to take that as having some humor, yea would not be a fun call, but as I said I think he is going to have some problems, still I would try a call, explain its a specialty panel not just a load center and see if they will give an exemption but yea still think you should just cut your...

well I guess since YOUR space is full of her **** and that's ok, don't you have a really dirty stinky transmission that you need to store in HER closet? if the wife is a keeper I think your boned, all you can do now is keep her stuff from spreading to the whole place, Otherwise and this is the...

I would call your Inspections office, and just ask, however, I think your screwed, I would cut your losses, and just get a CSA approved panel, you can call, see about an inspection and getting a field approval, but the cost will most likely be at a point that you should have just bought locally...

now why when I suggested stall mats a while ago, I got lots of laughs? anyway best thing I have found to cut them is a circular saw, mark what you want with chalk or a soap stone, and cut away, yes they will smell of rubber, but are nice working on. and no, in the time I have been using mine its...

I would buy it,keep it separate, build a nice looking HOUSE on it with an attached 3 car, if I could, 2 car on one side, 1 car on the other, the house part would be a empty shell, no second floor that's where the lifts go, the front would look like a house matching the area, keep the blinds...

go with a toilet, while your at it, add a shower so your clean when you have to enter HER area, other reasons, better resale value, its a little more HER friendly and it saves the 70 foot burrito dash in bad weather. just a urinal, while kinda cool for the guys area, it means tramping back to...

we all make mistakes, first thing thou, STOP, then think what am I doing? how am I going to do it, and THEN grab the tools. don't know how old you are, or what your work ethic is like, so please, take with a grain of salt, Put down the damn cell phone, ( huge pet peeve of mine ) if your at work...

how about construction String lights, that would give you 10 bulbs to spread around the garage, could use CFL's or just plain 60 watt bulbs, I think for a basic set your looking around 50 bucks for the strings each.

Just use for garbage and rain water here, get them free from the car wash in town, saves them throwing them out, and even have the bungs.

as others have said, talk to the electrical wholesalers, try Acklands/grainger , HD may have it as well, garbage and scrap bins of most commercial / industrial job sites. you can get single in the deep or shallow, double strut in the deep ( welded back to back ) with or without the holes and the...

if you use a 15 Amp receptacle, it don't matter if you can get a 500 MCM cable under it, its fused / breakered to 15 amp. you can code legally use a larger sized ( ampacity ) wire such as a 12 gauge on a 15 amp receptacle and its recommended so later when you start popping circuits, you can...

not up on the NEC, but the CEC usually allows ** greater then 80% circuit loading for lighting loads of florescent lights and some other fixed lighting loads as in not incadescant where you can swap a 100 watt for the 60 that was in it. fine print usually means the breaker MUST be rated for...
