    Digital light timer with dimming feature

    Looking for a light timer with dimmer for an agricultural application. We want to control the lighting in a totally-enclosed poultry house (no exterior light gets in). The idea is that the light comes on at a certain time in the morning and gradually brightens to full value over 30 minutes or...

    Pole building cost - Northeast Georgia

    I'm planning (long-range for now) a pole barn type structure to cover the area between two existing buildings. I want a simple metal hip roof 12:1 pitch or thereabouts, with an eave height around 15 feet so that it is above and overhangs the existing buildings. It must be high enough to allow...

    Painting bare concrete block

    We are building a couple of new block buildings at work. Think of them as garages for chickens... We need them to be smooth inside to minimize dust collection, as well as unaffected by regular washing, including pressure washing. The block is being laid with a smooth mortar joint. I'm...

    ~Simple~ remote lighting control

    I've been looking at various threads regarding remote lighting control. My situation is a bit different, and I can't make out which, if any, solution is appropriate. I have a horse barn that's about 150 feet from the house. I'd like to be able to turn on the lights as I walk, preferably with...

    Oil Can

    So, I'm tired of cheap pump oil cans that won't stay primed, fail after a month, or fold up under pressure. I am now willing to spend some real money on a real oil can that I can pick up and squirt oil onto something without having to pump it fifty times to get it flowing. Any suggestions?

    Overhead service

    I'm planning to replace an overhead service conductor to a commercial building. The service currently comes in to the side of the building that the service entrance is on. We need to bring the overhead feeder in from the other side now, over the roof of the building. I understand that the...

    What kind of twist lock is this?

    We have this receptacle on our generator. I can't find this configuration in any NEMA chart. Some kind of proprietary receptacle? Marine?

    Contactor for compressor

    Now that I've moved my compressor to an outside shed, it's much quieter in the shop. But, as it's less accessible, it's harder to remember to go around and shut off the air and the power. I'm thinking of using a light switch to control a motor contactor and a solenoid. I've found this...

    Compressor wiring Question

    I was going to piggyback on the other compressor wiring thread, but this should be simple... Air compressor: 230V, 15A, 3.7HP according to the nameplate. It's going to be a 60 foot run to the final location (30A disconnect and #10 whip to compressor). A shorter run might squeak by with a 20A...
