    Use ground wire in romex as a neutral?

    Is what I did and everything works correctly with no dodgy use of the ground wire. No disabling of the GFCI required and everything to code. The floor and towel wire is on another circuit than first intended but the amperage is low and on a 20A low use circuit. It would better if I had seen...

    Use ground wire in romex as a neutral?

    I am using a Sunstat Pro. http://www.suntouch.com/sunstat/ I have called them and they say there is no way to disable the GFCI inside the unit.

    Use ground wire in romex as a neutral?

    Great thanks. I will run a new supply from an adjacent box and terminate the resulting unused wires.

    Use ground wire in romex as a neutral?

    I hope you can advise me on this. Not garage related, but if I can resolve this I can get back out there.. I want to keep everything to electrical / MA state compliance. I just put in a master bath. I have a towel warmer that I want connected to an electric under floor timer / controller. The...

    Clarke welders?

    I ownded a Clarke 100E until last year when I bought a Miller. The Miller is such a nice machine to weld with, making excellent welds. The Clarke I bought about 30 years ago and had been of tremendous service. Welded many cars, added a large tank and used many, many spools of wire. The wire was...

    Workshop Dehumidifier

    I had a dehumidifier that I bought from HD, lasted about 3 years, can't remember the make. It worked ok at sucking the moisture from my garage but was very noisy. This year it was only collecting a small amount of water but the still the dreadfull buzz/noise. I have now bought this unit...

    Slightly off topic - LP gas prices...

    $4.11 for a propane delivery on a leased tank. Too much, just as well it is only for heating the garage.

    how often

    I use an irobot Dirt Dog. It gets underneath the cars, benches and mobile tool boxes. I put it each day I work on my car. I have a quick look in its dirt tray for what I have dropped and missed. A leaf blower every few months to get the dirt and dust off ledges and tops of cupboards.

    Propane Heat $$$$

    I am also in the northeast. I rent my tank from Eastern Propane, they did the final connection to my Sterling heater. As long as you did not need to run the pipe underground the install is not expensive. I mounted the heater, ran the electric, connected the vent myself. I bought the heater from...

    Garage Attic & AC Vent Ducting Questions

    I presume this is an AC unit solely for your garage, correct? Depending on the tonnage and cfm the single return might be too small, maybe noisy. The supply lines I certainly would consider re-running, I dont understand why they ran them like that. A certain length of flexible pipe is...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I have the bike pulleys as in your link wbrian63. They do pull the bike up pretty even but then it is much lighter than the weight you are pulling. I bought the Garage Gator to store our bikes after I had my new garage built. This might be overkill for infrequent use, it is electric and can hold...

    Dehumidifier and Airconditioning

    Thats good. An under-sized or a correctly sized AC unit will be the most effective at removing humidity and controlling temp swings. If you are just intending to lower humidity and not worry about the temperature, using just one of your 3-hp units might be the best solution. As you said, try it...

    Help with flooring choice

    I considered the flooring choices before I went with epoxy and I am very glad I did. I have had bare garage floors and painted, not good. I have never seen or used VCT so I cant comment on those. I wanted something durable, low maintenance and looks good. This eliminated tiles for me as being in...

    Reznor UDAP60

    If there is a dealer / distributor / parts department nearby then that would be a plus. If your hvac guy recommends this one it also makes it an even bigger plus. Most of these wall mount units seem to about the same when I was looking which one to buy. Some people like the kind which ***** the...

    Dehumidifier and Airconditioning

    I have a 3 ton variable speed fan/ 2 speed ac unit. The controller enables me to set the humidity level and other options. A super dehumidify - it slows the blower fan down so the coil is colder, a fan off after cooling mode when the set temp is reached - this enables the cold damp air on the...

    I was robbed!!!

    I hired a contractor to build my garage. In my basement one day I noticed a smell of heating oil and one of the pipes was loose. In the dumpster was a siphon hose, gas tank all with the same color dye. He was using my heating oil to power his jcb. Their work was slow but it was good so they got...

    Lift issues with low ground clearance cars

    My cars and the kids are all low and they all had problems with the fixed XPR10AC pads. I got the adjustable screw pad adjusters and this means I do not need to lift the car at all first. Have a look at this link in the manual http://www.bendpak.com/XPR10-Series-Manual-REVC.pdf on page 31. It...

    Add traction to epoxy, or not? What are your experiences?

    I am not the nicest to my floor and everything slides so much nicer after the coating. Without the supergrip I am sure you could swing a trolley jack around very easy, I can imagine it would be like glass. With the supergrip it still slides nice, certainly better than bare concrete. There was 2...

    Add traction to epoxy, or not? What are your experiences?

    I have the supergrip. The good.. It is not slippery, seems to hold up well, possibly hide cracks etc better. The bad.. Possibly a bit more of a pain to get dried on stains off the floor, lose some of bright "bling" if you are into that. The floor is still very nice to work or lie on. I would use...
