    Compressor "On" light

    $25 for a switched disconnect at menards or lowes and $20 for a 6 or 8 circuit box, add $20-30 for 3 breakers and your only at $60-80 bucks and you KNOW its safe and to code (not always the same thing ya know) not saying there aren't other ways, not saying you couldn't do it with less and not...

    Compressor "On" light

    if you pull from motor will it be lit when then compressor is at pressure? I'd think the idea of this is to not leave the compressor switched on when at pressure so if it bleeds down it wont restart. lost the first part, oops... run a 30/60 amp disconnect to a 4 circuit subpanel and have a...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Nothing wrong with a light switch if its done in a box with clamps and is rated for the load. The switch will eventually fail but they are cheap. Old tools often need creative repairs to get back to use full. Good luck with it and glad its not the motor!

    "Tough Nut Garage" a voyage through insanity

    No picture update. I got the walk in door on and got the corners foamed and cut down ready for trim. All that's left to be a shell is finish the light boards and put up a door and trim the corners. Put in about four hours yesterday after work and finally stopped as it was getting dark. It was a...

    Ext Cord Storage? - No Reels, Balls or Cranks

    nopers, I have the male end hanging out of the bottom back, the reel was just to the side and above the outlet (much like your hoses would be close to your valve), so it was mostly used in place and uncoil only what you need. i liked it because it didn't put as sharp a pressure on the wire...

    Fridge tripping GFCI

    Ext Cord Storage? - No Reels, Balls or Cranks

    mount cheap water hose reels on the wall, started doing this for my welder extension cord, and I like it alot, way less twisting, might not portable enough for smaller cords, but if you had one cord dedicated to be by the door of your shop I doubt you'd regret it much.

    Fridge tripping GFCI

    if I was your customer I'd probably be glad you did the lions share of the work and wire in a regular outlet 10 mins after you pulled out the driveway. if its a dedicated circuit, I dont see why it matters, but its a solution looking for a problem.

    Anyonw Know the Rules for a Day-long Electric Service Disconnect in Ohio

    is your breaker box bad or are you wanting a bigger one? if its not bad, I would consider running a new box and wiring the current as a sub, if you as a homeowner want to move circuits to it one at a time later so be it, but if there is no need then I wouldnt bother. just a thought.
