    Converting Circular Ceiling Box to 2 Gang

    Just thought I should check in with the collective.....aka the GJ brain trust. I've got three circular boxes in the ceiling that each have a fluor fixture hard wired to it. I want to convert the circular j-box to a double gang box so that I can put receptacels up there and use plug in fixtures...

    Liftmaster LA400 Gate Operator: looking for worm gear

    I've got a LA400 and the brass colored worm gear (driven by the gear at the end of the motor) is worn out. It's slipping. The teeth are shot. The gear on the end of the motor doesn't show signs of wear like on the mating gear. The rest of it appears to be in good shape. There are no markings...

    Is This a Kurt?

    Is this a Kurt dp vise? The logo looks close. A bit dirty and a few beauty marks, but otherwise looks ok. Don't know much about these things, but if I can get it cheap enough I'll take it home. What do you think it's worth?

    Corrosion ? on Baldor Grinder

    Picked up this 712 (1/2 horse, 7") off of CL yesterday. Never been used. The wheels are clean and untouched. My question is on what looks like corrosion that you'd see on battery terminals, the white stuff. It brushes off easily with a little brass brush. There's more on the right side than...

    Some Lista Help - drilling lock and drawer removal

    Picked up the below in the 5S sale at work. It's locked and they can't find the key. I've got a SUV and a bit worried about puting that much weight on the cover over the spare tire well. Plus I have to wrestle this thing out by myself when I get some. So I really need to pull the drawers out...

    Sprung a Leak Under the Sidewalk

    I managed to split an irrigation pipe pounding in a sign. So I got that fixed and was quite a happy camper until I fired it up and found water from an unknown source on the other side of the sidewalk. Went to dig it up, and found some not so friendly ants. A week of putting out ant bait and I...

    Anybody Need a $177 50' Hose ??

    Saw this on Cool Tools and looked them up. I suppose if you have a very destructive dog or like running over your hose over and over again this seems a bit excessive. Seems way overkill for most home owners, but maybe a good investment for commercial applications. Probably the toughest hose...
