I have a weird one that has stumped everyone I've asked so far. Hopefully some of you old timers can chime in. My house has 2 meters, a main and an energy saver. The energy saver is tied into my exterior AC coil and a baseboard heater in the basement. How it's wired: Main feed comes into...

Does anyone have suggestions for under cabinet lighting? I recently put some spare led light strips I had laying around at work under my new cabinets and was sorely disappointed. In the pictures it looks bright but in fact it doesn't do **** when I have my main lights on in the garage. Not...

Just picked up 125' of 6/2 NM-B wire for a future welder in garage. But it got me thinking, would I be future proofing anything by going 6/3? Maybe for (heaven forbid) an electric car charger? I can't think of any practical use for 6/3. I already have 2 (20amp dedicated circuits in the...

We are in the planning stages of building a better stair for our garage. Our initial plan was to extend all the way to the bump out on the right and create a "landing" of sorts the same height of the door jam but only the depth of a common stair then go down from there. While we were deciding...

I've given up trying to get any sparky to come to my place to do a simple run and our local municipality has been far from helpful. What should I be mindful of running ~100ft of 8/2 NM-B from my breaker in the basement of my house to my attached garage for very light welding? Does this need to...

Not garage related, I have no where else to turn. My dishwasher drains poorly and the cleaning ability is hindered by this (i'm pretty sure). Now the spec of my dishwasher says 6' max when it comes to the drain line. The current system uses 1/2" ribbed line all the way from the dishwasher to the...

Before I moved into my new place the concrete is pretty well cracked across the entire slab in various places. I had thought this is due to the garage floor heaving in the winter. However it now appears that the floor is not and was just part of the standard settling with poor base. I now have...

Before I get my ceiling filled with insulation I want to get a gas line ran from my house out to my attached garage. My new to me house already has 1/2" copper from my meter outside ran inside to basement. After a regulator inside, it is split into 4 ways going to furnace, stove, water heater...

Before I close up the final wall on my garage I need to run 240 through the wall down to the utility room. I freely admit I don't know **** about electrons over 12 VDC so the actual connections and finish work will be done by someone else...but I can at least pull the wire through the...

Due to a large grove of lilac bushes on the side of my garage that must not be disturbed, I am unable to add a nice set of windows to the side of my garage. I'm looking for additional options to get fresh air into the garage. Normally I'd open a garage door but the mosquito's are out and my new...

I am currently pulling new wire (cat6, speaker, 12/2, 14/3...ect) into my garage from my main breaker into the garage. I don't plan on hooking up 220 for a while but would like to run the wire. No idea on required amps but at most I'd like to be running a welder and possibly compressor. I have...

After renting many places for 15 years, I am going to finally have a home of my own. I've always made due garage wise but now it's finally going to be time to make one my own. We close on the house March 30th! The wife agreed the garage is first before we tear into other projects around the...

Hi everyone, soon to be first time home owner! Sorry not garage related, that's coming soon enough.:rocker: Just in the final stages of closing on my first home and I've come across something I can't quite figure out in the basement. In 2010 the basement in the 4 level split has its drain tile...
