I just finished setting up my Dannmar D7 (got it from Bruce at babco - check the Costco/Dannmar thread) but it keeps tripping the breaker. - I've got it on a dedicated 110 volt, 20 amp circuit - Using 12 gauge extension cord 15' long - Motor hums nicely for 1 or 2 seconds before the breaker...

I need to add a new 20 amp circuit in the shop. The panel I'm using (Stabloc) has 16 slots for breakers, and 14 breakers. I know the code says two slots have to be left empty when the system is installed, but do those two have to stay empty forever? Or are they there to allow this type of...

Here I go again...you'd think I would have learned after building the detached garage, but I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment! Hitting up the house renovations now, which includes a rear addition for a new masterbedroom with ensuite bathroom and big closet. In the front, the old carport...

Figured I'd pick up a paint sprayer to speed up the garage...rental sprayers (professional style) were $70 a day and I didn't want to buy the damned thing but I'd need it for at least 3 days. I had an old electric sprayer, but it gave up the ghost after a few test shots...it was around 20 years...

I'm roughing in some of the plumbing before I pour my garage's floor slab...what is the best distance from the wall to position the discharge pipe for the toilet? My biggest worry is putting it too close to the walls...

Here's a shot of my garage as it stands at the moment...30' x 30'. Plans called for a 10' ceiling, but I think I'll be able to squeeze about 11.5' out of it without going overheight. I've been doing it all myself, apart from some extra help doing the pours and positioning the trusses...and all...
