congratulations.. !

while I certainly wouldn't recommend cutting into structural members unless you know what you're doing (or have a thorough understanding of transfer of loads).. I do not see anything in the "enclosure of the porch" that would require the work/expertise/cost of hiring a contractor. adding...

I would think that the best option would be THIS one of the "multiTOOL package deal". even if it IS a little more than what OP was looking at, there won't be anything holding his father back from a grinding/wirewheel standpoint after setting this bad boy up..

he could always mark them on his plat with dimensions to the property line.

drive a 12" piece of #4 rebar into the ground at each corner (if you look on your plat, it was probably done for you already) each corner of the plat should say one of the following IPS - iron pin set IPF - iron pin found GPS is not as accurate as using surveying equipment off a known benchmark.

wood.. wood drawers, steel frame wood top.. handsome!

plywood isn't hard to light when it's been in a conditioned environment for 10 years. (AC units drain the moisture out of a dwelling)

I'd buy one fixture and check it out, I doubt you'll get the output you want on a $5 fixture. Even my fluorescent fixtures were $60ish and they're antiquated technology.

with regards to replacing the kitchen windows with french doors.. it's easy ***unless you've got electrical that runs under the window*** Murphy says you do.. but if you don't, just remove the windows, remove the stub wall under them, and make sure to order doors who's rough opening matches...

I have a two bay garage with 2ea 96" fluorescent fixtures and it's well lit, I also store a 17' canoe (drops about 20" from the ceiling), a 14.5' kayak (drops about 24" from the ceiling but is at the back wall), and have a 4'X16' storage platform (drops 22" from the ceiling and sits over the...

True enough, but I was addressing the question as asked by the OP, not some fool who may read the recommendation and think it would apply to their situation in Green Bay or upstate NY. People correct me all the time on here for practices readily applied across the southeast. Just because...

Memphis TN is considered a moderate climate.

so would an arc fault breaker, but you're missing the point.. most homes dont burn down due to arc faults anyway (less than 7% of home fires are caused by faulty wiring) so the code makes you upgrade a breaker or an outlet and it's not going to even come close to stopping 90% of the house fires...

when it comes to single room exhaust fans, quiet means weak.. (i'm just sayin')

+1 the circuit tracer I have is inaccurate also. I get false readings (multiple breakers hit on the trace) or no readings all the time in a panel..

I've got one like the WTF picture on the second page and several of the "bullet" adjustable nozzles shown on page three. (they're all over 30 years old) all the plastic ones I ever purchased cracked and leaked..

did you retain any access to the attic area of the garage? -it might come in handy if you were planning on mounting anything from the ceiling at a later point in time. I'd also recommend putting the lighting in the ceiling areas instead of the angled areas (doesn't seem like it's too late to...

Could be on a GFCI circuit and the outlet is tripped. picture of the wiring in the box? where is the outlet located? on a neighbors house testing the gfci outlet in his upstairs bathroom will turn off the hall outlet and the hall light.

I only exhaust the bathrooms to create a negative pressure zone. Ancillary space like a bathroom doesn't need a supply in my opinion. The rooms are often enough small in comparison to the rest of the house and have such a high humidity environment that I'd rather not inadvertently push that...

Case in point.. A permitted residential renovation in the state of GA requires that any modified circuit or added circuit be ARC-fault protected. OK. So, you've got a home with 20 circuits and only 1-2 of them are ARC-Fault protected, congratulations. Reality is that the wiring in the home...
