I want a wired doorbell camera so I need to find a solution that I can somehow modify to fit this doorbell that has a horizontal plate over the junction box - I tried searching but can't find anything that fits my problem. Also - the doorbell is on the side of the house so I am going to need to...

I am replacing ceramic tile with vinyl planks and finally having to address broken floor boxes. one of the boxes is PVC and the other metal. I assume I need some type of ring that friction fits or gets glued onto the top. The one pic with the yellow outlet - that ring is just floating in the...

I have tried off the shelf concrete patch and repair products - they seem to be too thick. I tried self leveler underlayment powder and wet it with water and that seemed to work but crack still visible. You will see in the images that after the product I used had settled the crack...

Ordered this from Home Depot and the part in question is this little clear tube with a wires in the middle - the instructions say nothing about it but it looks like it got smashed against the thin metal fins of the condenser unit - please ID what this piece is and it looks like the plastic is...

Here is a picture of the switch I removed. This is a Leviton single pole 15A switch that has 3RJW stamped on the side. The two hots are wired together I believe so that the one wire also gives the sensor switch next to it power. The load wire is on the bottom. I see no ground wire and I am...

I posted a question a year ago about how to connection AC disconnect box over a junction box that has a weatherproof cover. What I decided to do is install the AC disconnect in such a way that the gang hole of the disconnect in the rear will/should line up with the center of the cover on my...

I had my shop built for a future a/c unit (mini split) so I asked for wires to the outside. Here is what the contractor did (see picture). I ultimately need a disconnect box to connect power to the a/c unit I assume per my internet research. Do I somehow install a disconnect box on top of...

For a 2 car, 400 sq ft garage with some cracks and oil stains and pitting, is there a rule of thumb as to how much I would save to DIY an epoxy floor install. Also I cannot find an average price for professional install - honmeadviser.com quotes 3-12 - too broad a range. I live in Central...

I got two bids for a 896 sq. ft garage, 12 ft. walls, 2 by 6 construction, stucco and some brick trim, basically a turn key garage with paint, drywall, site leveling and 3 ft. retaining walls on two sides, perimeter sidewalk and 12 ft. driveway out front. It is about 90 feet from house and...

I have two garage flourescent fixtures that are wired per the photo. I did some research and with the standard big box offerings they seem to be calling for junction box mounting but mine are mounted to ceiling joists and not sure how I would wire them. I am not sure how I would pass the wire...

I watched a This Old House youtube video that covered how to epoxy a garage floor and they prepped the floor with acid etching. Another popular set of videos by the Idaho Painter says that his 15 years of experience with epoxy involves a process that relies on acid etching but he mentions...

I have an attached garage with basically just enough trusses to keep the walls from collapsing (which is my understanding of why the trusses are spaced so far apart). I want a drywall ceiling. I would need to add 2 by 6's in between somehow. Also as you can see from the pics there are these...

I am looking to build a detached shop, mainly for woodworking but would like to have a separate area for a model train layout or perhaps an activity room for the kids or even an exercise room - are there any garages on the forums that have a similar setup? I am thinking of limiting the size to...
