I have a breaker that feeds part of my aerobic septic system and it will not turn on. It's a SqD like a QO with the little trip window but has screws on both ends instead of a stab type. It's not tripping out , it just won't turn on. I have just bypassed that breaker for now and running the...

Do i have to get the exact size? Mine is a 45+10 mf and +-6%. Looking at Titan HD made in USA on Amazon. They have a +- 5% ??

What are yall using thats worth a ****? I have some blue Husqavarna branded line that is total junk. It breaks off a lot inside the head. So I have to stop and pull it apart to get going again. Stihl FS56(?) trimmer is what I have. It has a double line head on it.

the code change in 2008 was only for subpanels in DETACHED buildings. It is a subpanel because of the main breaker ahead of it. This is totally incorrect. bonded neutral has NEVER been allowed in a subpanel in the same structure as the main. the code change we are discussing above is for...

I have one but have converted it to use LED. I have a corn cob type in there now but it has gotten very dim and just barely glows. What is the equivalent LED for 250w hps? I have seen some other bulbs that resemble the shape of an hps but its LED strips inside it.

I am replacing this gray plastic angle stop because its leaking. The 1/2" male end connected to the supply from the wall. Supply is 3/8 pex with what appears to be a 3/8 pex to 1/2" something ( compression, idk)? From the wall the pex has a female nut like for a compression fitting. Not sure if...

I usually use a milk crate but sometimes need 2 of them stacked to reach to the back of the engine. But 2 of them are really too tall and 1 1/2 would be almost perfect. They each measure right at 11" high or so. What do yall use for engine work?

One of my security cameras had quit working. I finally got around to try and figure what the issue is. This run is about 250ft in 3/4" conduit underground. I connected a tester to the ends and it shows a miswire on two of the pairs. It has punchdown keystone jacks on the ends. I pulled the...

I'll be installing a new toilet in the shop. I have a 4" pipe that I'll need to cut down as its about a foot tall right now sticking out of the concrete. The tile floor is already set up to the pipe. I have an inside cutter I'll be using. Wondering how far down it needs to be cut to accept the...

I have some left over red iron material from the shop build. The guys that welded up the steel were using a big truck mounted arc welder. They did not grind off the red oxide or whatever that is on the steel. Just cut it to size and weld it up. Can I weld this stuff with a mig welder using flux...

My roof on my shop looks horrible and needs a good cleaning. There's a lot of residue from just dirt and all the pine trees around here. It's a pretty hard scum on it and doesn't scrape off easily. With a wet finger I can rub it off. (Lol, phrasing) I have some jo max house cleaner that is...

I have two, stone (concrete based faux stone) window ledges i need to install. Need tips and what type of mortar to use. These things are pretty heavy and not sure how to get it done correctly as to not fall off while the mortar takes a set. These were never installed when the house was built...

I'm redoing the finish on my front door and found some of the trim around the glass is somewhat punky and soft. I plan to dig out the affected area down to good wood and fill it. What filler should I use for this? It will all be stained dark and then a polyurethane for protection. Luckily that...

20 years ago I ran speaker wire for a whole house system to connect to the stereo. Complete with volume control in each room None of this has ever been connected. The volume control boxes have blanks over them so not an issue. The issue is the wires hanging out of the ceiling. The holes in the...

Not sure its a diverter valve , no idea what it would be called. From my well tank I have 1" poly feeding the shop as of right now. When the house is built I'll probably T off that line to supply the house or just run a separate 1", idk yet. But I also want to run a 1" to the pond to help...

Yep. I am going to take up about 1/3 (20×40) of my 40x60 shop and frame some temporary walls to live in while building the house. The bathroom and sink(kitchen) are already there and is permanent in the shop. I plan to frame about 90' of wall to make a living room and two bedrooms. I plan on...

Are these all the same junk? Every compressor I've had the regulator freezes up and won't turn. (Yes I popped out the lock before trying) Granted it doesn't get exercised too much. Is there a way to free it up without breaking it?

Twice now the o/s unit failed to come on. Tstat is calling for AC but I'm not sure if inside unit is blowing. We had turned the AC up higher to 74 and come home to 77 degrees. Both times I can reset the breaker for both in and out and the o/s unit will come on. I will try and duplicate it...

Well not an auto, but on my tractor. The lower fixed rear window has come loose and pushed in a little bit. It is the type that has a rubber mount to hold it in like older pickups used to be. Just noticed it earlier and don't know what happened. Possible I backed into a limb I didnt see while...

In my new shop is a new 200 amp square d panel. The main breaker has a constant weird noise while AC is running. At first I thought it was the 15 A that feeds a bank of five LED lights. But using a high tech stethoscope (pvc pipe) it is the main. I can turn off the AC and it stops the noise. AC...
