    Dual Brite motion sensors

    i think you are wrong, i believe the LED compatible dimmers change the waveform of the AC current, not limit the current. exactly. i like the functionality of the dual brite. the idea of lights coming on at dusk and turning themselves off after a few hours, all while maintaining a working...

    Dual Brite motion sensors

    bought a new dual brite motion sensor for the front of my house. in case you don't know about them, they behave exactly like a traditional motion sensor, with an additional function of being able to automatically turn the lights on at dusk for a specified period of time, dimmed about half way...

    Need framing nailer recommendations

    The bostitch is awesome. Works flawlessly. Available at all the stores, as are the nails. Trigger can be switched to suite you (trigger then tip contact, vs tip contact then trigger). Some of the best money I ever spent. Edit: easy nail height adjust too. No tools needed. I know the paslodes...

    Foundation for a shed

    I'd run 3/4" t&g for the floor tho, not 1/2", but yea, that will work for a while. Realize their are different grades of pressure treated lumber (depot or lowes may not carry it, but real lumber yards likely will). Direct contact with dirt is hardest on any piece of lumber. Stone under the...

    How to determine a load bearing wall

    Anything short of tearing into it enough to figure out where the loads are being transferred, is just a guess. I know it's a vague answer, but the supplied info is equally vague without more details and pictures.

    Compressor safety. What can be done?

    Every few months another story of a compressor that exploded shows up. I don't care how old or new your tank is, this should, and does scare the **** out of me. So what can be done to make an air compressor safer? Obvious preventative measures include frequent tank draining, newer equipment...

    Blown up compressor tank

    judging by the fact that you said you were on your deck when it happened, i'm assuming it wasn't an overpressure situation, otherwise you would have heard it running and running? the tank could simply no longer hold the rated pressure.

    What smaoke detector where?

    Generic questions get generic answers. I'd sprinkle some ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms throughout, combo or mixed. Each type is better at early detection on different types of fires. Perhaps even add a temperature based sensor in an area where normal detectors aren't recommended...

    Anyone use "Pulley" lights in the garage ?

    I'll be the first one to say it, but I don't really see the usefulness (in the average garage/shop). Granted, it's an awesome conversation piece, and would surely be neat in some places, but it is cumbersome and in my opinion, doesn't really belong in most garages for space reasons. There are...
