    Husky 175 PSI Compressor Motor Failure

    It is real apparent that the factory installed smoke was released from the motor. I could smell it 30 feet away. This compressor is only 4 years old and has had really low use. I looked up some parts and it looks like the motor and the pump are a unit and is priced $3 less than a new...

    Tracing a 110v circuit with blank cover plate on it.

    Hi guys, I apologize if this has been asked and answered before. I searched but did not find anything. First of all, this is in a motor home...but 110V is 110V and these circuits are looking the same as residential. This 110V outlet has a 12 ga wire in the box with a blank cover. The ends of...

    Blow in Insulation or tear off drywall and Insulate

    So I have been reading the Low Cost Heat thread and some others because I am at a decision point on heat for the garage. I was set on a wood stove but I am going with a mini split. The next part is insulation. Some bone head rocked the walls in the garage but did not insulate. When I was...

    Something New to Me...Plumbing Crossover

    A while back, the faucet in the kitchen sink failed to put out any hot water. What was funny was that if you moved the handle to the mid point you would get a half second of pretty hot water and then cold or lukewarm when moving the handle back to hot. Hmmm...I got the faucet mfg to send a...

    Lift Wiring Diagram Interpretation Help

    I am posting this here instead of the electrical section as there are an awful lot of lift installs posted here. This is the diagram: I am used to L1 and L2 as the two hot 220/240V legs. On this diagram, there is an L an a N. I think it is maybe a diagram of a 220V Hot to Neutral electrical...

    Options for Heat and A/C in shop Folsom, CA (Sacramento)

    Hi Gurus, I have a buddy who has an 800 ft garage/shop in the Folsom area east of Sacramento. It gets to an average of 100 deg in the summer and then in the winter it will get down to 37 to 45 but not for that long of a period. He has solar power so the extra cost to the power bill will not be...

    Another "What is it" Thread...Electrical Device...

    So this 3 x 4 inch box is mounted by the meter which is between the houses across the driveway vs. on the house which is more normal. Could it be an old type of photo sensor so it trips when coming down the driveway to turn on lights? There is a 110V outlet by the meter but the wires to it...

    Cordless Tool Battery Charger Giving False Signals to Klein Voltage Tester

    As the title states it turns out the charger must back feed a tiny amount of current to the 120V line. I was struggling with a circuit in the remodel and was getting an indication of voltage from my Klein tester. When I checked it again, it was a slightly different beeping frequency. Got out...

    Converting Shop Vac to Hand Truck Style

    I was hoping someone here has done something like this. The big Ridgid shop vacs are not the greatest thing to move around on the little casters. I was hoping some one has a slick way that they have done this. It looks like the Ridgid with the cart has a specific shop vac barrel so just buying...

    Moving Scissors Lift

    So I have had my scissors lift for about 6 or 7 years and have used it a lot. All kinds of vehicles have been lifted and worked on from my Porsche 993 that I sold to a Isuzu Trooper to a Mini, Audi A6 and a 2012 Tahoe. Lots of BMWs and Mercedes too. Love the lift and it is totally out of the...
