House built in the 80s has a genie opener. It’s stopped opening and I thought a switch would cure it. While installing the switch, the opener activated, up, down, whatever. Finish and switch won’t work. I take the switch off, wait a few minutes and touching the wires fires it up, open, close...

I don’t use it in anything other than wood. I have had it a couple of years, but it’s all of a sudden slipping when I tighten the keyless chuck or when under load. Is this a normal wearing issue or did I do something?

So our air conditioner guy thinks we have a leak in the line from the attic to the outside condenser unit. Provided a cost of $1500 to replace the line. Attic is above the second story, and my guess is there is 40 feet of line required. How does the price sound?

On other forums I subscribe to (there are others?) there is a feature that tags the OP with an inidication of such. I find it helpful in following a thread. Thought I would mention it.
