Getting ready to buy some air filters. The ones that were with the house when I bought it, was weak looking fiberglass (guessing Merv 4), like what you can buy for less than $2 each. I was looking at getting a Merv 12 6 pack for $35. I started reading the comments. Most of the negative comments...

I know I wanted LED lights, my first thought was 4 light 4 foot troffers converted to direct wire LED. Then I thought why not use normal sized screw in bulbs. For the same power usage I could spread them around. My challenge was in fixtures. I wanted the old barn style, you talking average $45...

Both pictures have the same corner. Each wall has an outlet, but I want one in the corner for the freezer. The refrigerator to the left is going. Both wall are outside, and I was told it had netting and blown insulation. It is tight to get to the top plate on both walls. I think I know what the...

Did some googling on the forum, either my search was wrong or really old threads and should not resurrect them. So ..... Hopefully in the next few months I hope to buy what I call a Cold Cut Metal Saw. After dealing with my abrasive chop saw sparks and one small fire, I think it time. I have...

I have this Detroit Jewel Heater that I was wondering if there is any info. Is it safe? Who could look at it and tell? I am guessing it is from the late 50's to early 60's. It was in my grandmother's house. I have some memory of it, so I would have been 4 in 1964 and she passed in 1969. I do...

My first posting in classifieds, let me know what I do wrong. I think they are T8. They are the bulbs with one knob on each end. I have two dual bulb fixtures with several bulbs, guessing about 10 or so. They worked the day I pulled them down. Some bulbs will not work, but I think most do. If...

I got my Treatments, Repairs and Replacements. It's an Oklahoma real estate thing. My question is what does the NEC say about this situation ..... "The 60 amp circuit breakers in the heat pumps electrical disconnect box are oversized. The manufacture of the heat pump lists the maximum breaker...

I will fill in details below, but my Linear garage door opener is tripping my circuit breaker. We had a lightning storm last night, so it must have fried something. I will tear it apart tonight when I get home. My question is, has anyone had this happen to them? If so any words of wisdom. This...

This fits in this forum because, I can't spend any more money on my shop till the old house sells. :-) The deal we had on the old house feel though, one of the issue is the boot for the electric service. Here is what was written in the report ... 318 - DAMAGED BOOT AT ELECTRICAL SERVICE MAST -...

I can try and take a better picture tonight, but I thought I would start discussion. My building is a sheeting attached to girts with insulation between. Here is what I am talking about. That is the back wall to the left. I have a work bench there. The right has the same window but it will be...

By the way I am running 3/4 EMT. Here is my obstruction. I would like to continue along the bottom of the girt and make the corner behind the pole. There is a product that comes close to allowing what I need...

As the shop project winds down. Looking into the future, I want to add some down lighting to the house. It has a two car and one car at each end of the house. My thought is one over each corner of the garages. The shop was built after the house picture, but it sits to the right of the one car...

My introductory post turn into a build thread, so I ask and it was moved to here

The metal building is basic poles with C-Purlin wrap around it. The size is 30' wide by 24' deep. 4 trusses, one end and two in the middle. I will include some pictures to help describe. My thought is to use some of the C-Purlin as a chase for romex or MC. Here is my introductory thread...

Just joined, I am finishing a 30 foot wide by 24 foot deep shop. See here for details I still learning etiquette on these fourms, I did do some searching either threads are old or I felt like asking my question was going to hijack one. So here we go. It maybe a few months before I can afford one...

[Edit] I will be updating this thread by moving my pictures from Photobucket to Google Photo My wife and I just bought a new house. Our old one was a two car about 25 feet deep. We also had a 19 x 19 for storage. We have a 02 Mustang Convertible, that is not classic but has sentimental value...
