    Garage Door Opener Troubleshooting

    I have a liftmaster wifi model that is only about 2 years old, along with the door itself. Everything has been operating fine until I decided to spray lube the hinges and spring. I noticed the door had gotten noticeably louder lately so figured it was time for a little maintenance. Once I lubed...

    Just found my first snake in the shop

    Copperheads are not docile. They may not chase you down and bite you, but they won't run when approached. That is why people get bit, copperheads stand their ground and when the human gets to close from not seeing them.....BAM!

    Lets talk Peg Boards

    I had a shelf come crashing down and the wall space is now covered in peg board. I put up a 4 x 8 sheet and bought some multi-piece packs of hangers etc to get started. The thing I'm realizing about this board is that its a "organize as you go along" type of thing. My tools are in the tool...

    Recommend a Torque Wrench

    I would like to have a Torque wrench, mainly for lug nuts on vehicles and my 45HP tractor. Can you guys recommend a decent one that won't hit me in the wallet. It wouldn't be used to much so it doesn't have be the best. Just good ol' reliability is fine for me.

    How to hook up a generator?

    I agree with the safety issues of back feeding lines, however, Lineman SHOULD know to ground the power lines first when making repairs. This is now standard practice for a number of reasons, one being for harry the homeowner generator setups. If they don't ground the lines their making the same...

The volt meter I'm using wasn't to cheap of a model, 30 or 40 bucks but I don't have name brand handy at the moment. Gooch- given that it's not a top of the line generator I'm sure...

    What happened to my wall switch?

    No, one is a 3 gang wall switch and the other is a 2 gang. On the 3 gang, one switch operates the ceiling lights and then further down the wall, on the 2 gang one of the switches operates the same ceiling lights. Basically whatever you entrance I use I can hit either switch for lights. But it...

    What happened to my wall switch?

    Thanks for the replies. One quick question........One switch has 3 switches built in and the other has 2. Is it possible just the switch controlling the ceiling lights went bad and not the others affecting the operation of the other two switches, because they still operate what their supposed to.

    What happened to my wall switch?

    In my garage I have two separate wall switches that operate the ceiling lights. Originally, I could use either switch to turn the lights on. Just now I went to turn on the lights using the switch closest to the garage door and I got nothing. Went to the other switch and they worked. So now only...

    Cooling troubles.

    After you try what LZ suggested and if everything checks ok, you are low on coolant. Gotta be. Before you made the repairs, even though you had low air flow did you have cooler air from the vents? Sub par temps from the vents is usually one of 3 things: Low coolant, poor airflow (dirty coils...
