    Liftmaster 3800 Remote Light

    I installed 2 liftmaster 3800's about a month ago. The both function fine, however I am having an issue with one of the remote lights.

    Where do you guys get garage/shop type lumber?

    I just built a garage, 30 X 40, wandered around the local Home Depot and Lowes, was impressed with lumber prices and much less impressed with the quality. We have an independent lumber yard about 15 miles away, affiliated with "Do it Best" (unsure what that is) but they were slightly more cost...

    Any tips/tricks for painting and staining pressure-treated lumber?

    I did some pressure treated lumber "painting" a few years back, we have Benjamin Moore brand paint in this area, and they sell a semi-transparent and solid color "stains" for pressure treated lumber. They will tint it to any color you want just like normal paint. It went on eazy and still looks...

    Electrical Service - Buried vs Overhead Cost

    Definitely talk to your utility company, the utility I work for you would have a couple options, both with some significant costs. We would build an overhead line back for you, and we would need trees trimmed/removed depending on conditions. Some people are dead set against tree trimming and...
