    New Shop Plumbing Question

    Can you identify and tell me what, if anything is going on here? (lol) Utility sink will be on the left and drain into the pipe with the spigot on the end. There appears to be a 'sleeve' with a hose clap securing it. It looks like too much trouble just to cap the pipe temporarily with a...

    Shop - Too Many Vents?

    Well..... Edited: Having a shop built and I was thinking it was going to have too many roof vents (static 12"x12"). About 24k cu.ft. and 17 vents. Since the post, I learned a few things about the build I didn't know but it still seems a bit extreme to have 17 of them. Cheers! Original post...

    Prepping Pitted Existing Metal Hand Rail for Paint

    Hi Folks, I have an existing exterior stairway with two lengthy metal, tubular hand rails that need a bit of resurfacing and a paint job. The current paint which has the "hammered" look, appears fairly decent but closer inspection reveals small (maybe 1/4" max) diameter chips/recessions on the...

    Garage Wiring Question

    Howdy, I was doing some basic "routine" switch and outlet replacing in the garage and have apparently lost my presence of mind. The two images below are on the same wall about five feet apart. I replaced the two switches (right), wire for wire and then scratched down a few notes for the...

    Circuit breaker theory

    A Jeeping friend of mine posed this question to me. I neglected to ask what application he is thinking about using this arrangement for, but I figure the result should be the same whether it's household or auto related. (He could be wiring up his Jeep for heavy duty lighting or a portable...

    Plumbing to Garage

    Question: In the photo, there is a reduction in the pipe size from 1-1/4" to 1" then back to 1-1/4". Doe's this perform a function such as increasing pressure? Closer to the house, where the "House In" line goes, it reduces in size again. Anyways, what's more important, pressure or volume...

    desert4wd shop/garage

    This site and it's occupants have helped me roll with the punches several times so I figure I'd throw some of my photos together to show some of the progress I've made so far. At the bottom of the page here is a link to all the photos, but I'll put some photos up here anyways. The shop is about...

    Garage Wall Striping

    I guess my goal here is to invite criticism and give a little bit of what I think is advice when painting stripes on a wall. I planned this out pretty well, using a photograph, then modifying it on the computer with different colors, stripe configurations etc. Well, I was pretty satisfied with...

    New from Oregon

    Hi. I'm in Salem Oregon- retired. We moved here recently from Albany and I get to "start fresh" working on an empty garage. Our old place isn't sold yet, so I'm keeping the garage stuff there until this one is ready for moving stuff in- which is kind of nice. Projects were coating the floor...

    One bus bar in Subpanel

    It's been a little while since I've done circuit breaker work so I picked up a home wiring book yesterday. After comparing pictures/notes I came to the conclusion I didn't understand what I was seeing from my own subpanel:headscrat . I have both ground and neutral wires going into one bus...
