Owner. The house was built in 1910 so has obviously received some cobbling together over the years. I've never touched this box. Thank you for your help. There is no other wire connecting that neutral bar to anything. Am I right in my thinking that I can fix current issues if I replace the...

For some reason this forum never posts imgur links correctly. Let's try photobucket.... Here's the service side of the house. It's a duplex so the upper unit has its own meter: The meter is grounded. The grounding cable wraps around the corner of the house and is connected to the water...

Anyone want to weigh in? Looking for help on what I need to do to remedy my grounding issues and ready to trench wire from main-disconnect panel to garage this weekend. Happy to provide more info and/or pics if needed.

Thanks. All hand nailed. Not excited about undertaking shakes again. Happy with how this stage has turned out but probably shouldn't have waited until this point for the plan on how to finish. Lesson learned.

Thanks everyone -- I reuploaded the photos to photobucket and they seem to be working now. I stopped in at Sherwin Williams and Lowes this weekend and they both seemed confident I could spray solid-pigment stain over the new and old shakes and the color would match. The texture will become...

I tried to edit this to shrink the thumbnails and for some reason they aren't showing up now, but the links are good. Can someone else let me know if the images are appearing? Sorry!

I have a relatively large garage that was built (I believe) in the late 1940s. It had waaaay too many windows and doors so I recently removed all of those and framed in smaller windows and eliminated 2 service doors. This gets me much more interior wall space to use for storage and tool space...

Just an update -- I contacted Dave and he did get me taken care of. Excellent customer service, can't recommend Tekton enough after this exchange.

Hello, All -- I have a 2-3 year old Tekton Air Hose reel. It only sees light use but the spring became unhooked on the inside of it and I haven't been able to figure out how it works. Any advice/help? Here's the unit: I removed the air hose fitting and the 4 locknuts that hold the circular...

Sorry for falling off -- I get easily distracted and have been working on other aspects of my build. Here's a photos of the house breaker panel.....

My garage (and house) are sided with cedar shakes that were stained a deep brown "Russet" color about 10 years ago. I'm updating a lot of things and part of that involves patching in new siding in places. I much prefer the look of the natural cedar to my current "Russet" colored cedar. I...

My main circuit breaker panel is grounded to the water pipes. There isn't anything metal near this disconnect box. I'll be hiring an electrician to handle the connections (and address grounding?) but was planning on trenching and burying wire at either end myself. Can I plan on running...

Yes. From the meter into the disconnect box and then the 100a feeder (or is 200a??) goes from this box to the main circuit breaker panel in the house. I checked the main breaker panel in the house and the garage is currently on a 20a breaker from there.

Photos.... This is what I've been calling the disconnect. My thought is I can put in another set of 100amp or even 200amp breakers (if I'm running wires now, I might as well plan for a Tesla charging station, right?!) and run those to a subpanel in the garage through a different knockout...

Haha -- point taken! I'll take photos and update. ;) Sorry!

It's fed from the main circuit breaker panel not the master disconnect.

My electrical service comes out of the ground, into the meter and then into the master disconnect before it heads into the house for the main breaker. Currently I have a single overhead 25amp circuit that runs to the detached garage from the master breaker. I'm looking to upgrade this to a...

I'm very confused. If there is a check valve at the top of the tank and the unloader is connected to a T between that and the pump (where my pressure switch is right now) then wouldn't it pump up to a certain pressure..... and then unload.... and then wouldn't the pressure switch kick back on...

Just curious -- how did you check inventory on this? The HD site just shows discontinued for me and doesn't allow me to check?

8 Gallon gas powered Ridgid compressor was on clearance at my store. The guy there before me cleaned them out but the display model was still there. $189 tag marked down from $799...
