    Wayne Dalton garage door opener opens ones foot and then stops

    The reason people suggested hiring someone, is that understanding how the door works is paramount to being able to fix it. The springs can kill someone and there is an extra degree of caution when working with one. Asking why the door is so heavy shows such a level of lack of knowledge that if...

    Slab is in- how to fix "wall of dirt" from cutting it into a slope

    I would start by defining what you plan to do with the area immediately above the shed. If you need that land for something like it is, then add a wall, but if it doesn't matter to you, someone can come in with a bobcat, regrade the area so the slope pitches away from 8 - 10" below the pad, and...

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    I don't understand the electronics of it. Just happens that way. Remember that when you have a customer whose GFCI trip for random reasons. Make sure they haven't installed a second one on the same circuit. There is no reason not to but I assure you that they can interfere with one another even...

    Wayne Dalton garage door opener opens ones foot and then stops

    A broken spring or loose spring if it weighs 93 lbs. Can your installer if you need help fixing it. Those springs can kill. So can 100 lbs if it drops on your child.

    Whole House Surge Suppression - GE THQLSURGE vs Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA

    So it looks like that could surface mount on the T1-11 exterior adjacent to the panel then an elbow and ****** could go into the T-11 and the wires go thru an insulator put into a knockout? Caulk around the ****** to stop exterior water penetration into the T1-11?

    apparently, no one has an answer as to whether the 100 amp panel will work and if so why or why not.

    I NEED A 56,000 CFM CEILING FAN WITH A 56" BLADE

    yes. Below is a quote from a local company that specializes in fans for homes. We have their six-bladed belt driven fan (like image below) which delivers about 12,000 CFM. As I recall, it has a 3/4 hp motor, and is on a dedicated circuit. A true 1 HP motor would pull about 16 amps at 120V so...

    A/C has always been inadequate for upstairs, and coils freeze often

    I would get one of these and take a look at the ducting to be sure it is properly open. It could be as simple as the upstairs ducting is not properly connected. You also need a return air from the upstairs to assist with moving air there...

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    Sparky, I respect your credentials, but I sure differ on the idea that two GFCI on the same circuit don't commonly interfere with each other. There is no safety gain either.

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    two GFCI cannot be on the same circuit. They interfere with each other. I added one outside at the back door years ago because it was in a wet location. It used to trip for no reason. The bathroom would too sometimes. About 3 years ago we went thru every receptacle, light and switch etc in the...

    Forward looking

    Still working on this in my mind. Right now trying to figure the solution to the main panel. Because it is outdoors and installed flush with the T1-11, any changes will be a bit more difficult. At the bottom of my panel right now I have 2 unused THQL thin line breakers filling the bottom two...

    Can’t figure this out, gfci outlet and other outlets have no power

    or someone put in another GFCI in the same circuit without realizing there was one already. Look under the sink, in the cabinets, under the bottom cabinet, and behind the refrigerator too. I have a circuit outside by the rear door that is GCFI protected from a bathroom circuit clear on the other...

    What do I need to prevent condensation in garage during cooler months (NC Mountains)?

    you can tape a piece of thick plastic wrap on the floor, like a 3' x 3' piece. Leave it a few days then remove it and see if the bottom is wet. If it is, then moisture is coming up thru the slab. If anything is below the dew point, and moisture is in the air, it will condensate out onto...

    Air conditioner not blowing hard

    so if puling the cover off below the fan improves the flow thru the supply vents, then the return air has changed. I bought this house around 30 years ago. The HVAC was 12 years old and I put in escrow it needed to be inspected. Guy came out, serviced it, changed the filter and left. I moved in...

    Whole House Surge Suppression - GE THQLSURGE vs Eaton CHSPT2ULTRA

    not hijacking. Are any of the GE modules mentioned in this article such that they have fuses in them in case of a permanent failure - such that they do not leave residual damage?
