Quick question. Just installed a Tuxedo TP11KC-DX 2 post lift and am wiring it up. I’ve ran 12/2 MC cable to the lift. The manual directly calls for a 20a circuit and the max draw of the motor is 16.5a. Here is a specification sheet: So my question comes with the limit switch up top. This...

I recently framed bookshelf girts in between the posts in my shop (wish I did this from the start), in order to put up interior sheathing. When I had the building built, I had them install the standard pole barn type insulation which is sandwiched between the metal siding and girts. This is...

My pole barn had a skirt board fastened around the perimeter before pouring concrete. It appears to be pressure treated but I can also see daylight between the skirt board and concrete slab. How can I seal this - is silicone from the concrete to the board fine, or is there a better solution? Is...

So, I've already seen some shoddy work done during this build that I've had to point out to get fixed. Mostly with the framing, but small things. Overall happy with the shop. Now that the building is done I'm checking out the siding and for the most part it looks pretty good but the window trim...
