Anyone have experience with this? I have seen plenty of houses built on stilts at the beach, but not many garages. My wife found a piece of land that looks great but is a bit low and has a creek running almost right through the middle of it. There is a house on it but they built an addition...

GFCI immediately trips when I flip it from off to on. What is the best way to diagnose the issue? GFCI is new, as is the control box it is connected to. Tub came with my house and I am finally trying to get it working. The heater was broken so I replaced it with a controller and put in the...

I have read here that this is possible, but I have never seen many details. I don’t have a need for a VFD, but I do have a donor treadmill that needs to go away. Anyone know how to go about this? And anyone in the Atlanta area interested in a treadmill?

I posted a few weeks ago when they planted a stake with transformer written on it and got confirmation today that they are indeed going to burying the lines. Questions: 1 - Do they have to get our permission to place the transformer in the yard? I would assume not... 2 - Do they have to buy a...

I have been helping a friend move all of his tools from storage to his new building this weekend. He has this huge 3 phase compressor that he isn’t going to use and thinks it isn’t worth much. I assumed it would be worth a ton due to the huge tank and dual compressors. What should he try to...

I’ve been thinking about getting some property and spotted this place. 3 car attached garage and a big 3 car detached with high ceilings, an in-ground lift, half bath, hvac. Plus an unexpected 2 stalls on the end of the stable building. Oh, and it comes with a good size house and a big kitchen...

Came home yesterday evening to find this stake labeled transformer in my yard. My next door neighbor also has one plus the cubicle stake. What does this mean the poco is going to do? We haven’t heard about any changes. Some more details that may be relevant: The neighborhood was built in the...

I have an older hot tub built into my sunroom. After 8 years of living in the house, I am finally getting to the point I have some time to work on this thing and think it needs some upgrades, but have never owned one. It’s an older tub and all controls run thru the wall into a closet. There is...

At NAPA corporate stores. Normal price is like $16 apiece. 2-1/2 gallon size. Valid for the month of August. My diesel doesn’t need this stuff, but I thought I would share.

I know I'm not the only one that collects plates, but does anyone else pick them up off the road? I seem to find the unusual ones in the road. Today it was the used dealer tag. Last month was the state gov tag. Last year I got a teacher tag.

My aunt has been slowly hooking me up my grandfathers tools (he passed in 1989) and this Christmas was no different. I got some really good stuff and this large hunk of steel. It's about six inches long and my grandfather was a farmer/rancher in west Texas. Any ideas what this thing is other...

Is such a thing worth having? Someone sent me a link to a Shimaha on eBay. Seems sketchy to me because I can't find it from any other source, no reviews, and no returns. I occasionally want to be able to weld aluminum. I currently have a Miller 185 Thoughts?

Good used dust collector. Too big for the little bit of wood working I do, so trying to sell to fund something smaller. Missing one of the bags. These are $550 new

So I picked this up on Saturday. It's a 2hp, 240v, DC-1200W-1 Problem is it is missing pieces. That and I didn't wire the garage for the little 240 plugs, just for the big Miller. Anybody know what I need to get it working? It's kind of big and I don't do enough wood working to justify this...

So my son just turned three and it is time for a boys room instead of a nursery. First step was to replace the ceiling light. It's a fancy light my wife really likes that I would have tossed. It got replaced by a two bladed fan that looks just like a propeller. :)...

Is this common? It happened last week on my Griots Garage rolling seat. I have had it a long time (probably 15 years), but it doesn't see tons of use and I'm under 200 lbs. Then tonight I go out to the garage, flip on the Olympics and go to pull one of my rolling bin bolts, and it has a flat...

For some reason, my titles like to pull from something I posted years ago. Can you please change the title of the below to What is it - double box road find http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=334634

This was my grandfathers who passed in 1990. I just got it from my aunt a couple of weeks ago and would like to fix it. Any ideas where to find a similar replacement? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

From a distance, I thought I had scored a high dollar double box. But when I got out of the car, I knew it wasn't. Do you know what it is? I suspect it's now scrap metal but am really curious as to its use. It was found on a road with lots of car dealers, but there is also a ton of...

Found it in my grass by the road. I have no idea if it is related, but a huge poplar fell earlier in the week taking out a couple of poco poles. The only markings I could find on it are 'T11'. It does appear that something sheared at the end that is stamped. I'm hoping this is worth millions...
