Getting a house ready to sell. Found this in the garage, doesn't look right. Goes along the wall around a corner to another light switch. Will the way the wires are routed pass inspection? Been this way for fifty years. Thanks.

Getting the Mother-in-law's house ready to sell. Originally didn't have a door opener. One was installed a few years back. It is plugged in to a wall outlet via extension cord that runs above the rafters. I'm guessing this won't pass inspection. Do I need to put a box on the ceiling close to the...

Currently have incandescent lights in the basement. Wanted something brighter. Thought I would try these from Menards. Not expensive easy to do. They are nice and bright. But they get super hot, didn't think an LED would get that hot. Now I don't trust them. Anyone else use them?

Has anyone used RaceDeck for an exercise room floor. Was looking at interlocking mats made for that. Ones I looked at were imported. Started reading reviews, had some said they had a bad chemical smell. My nose would pick that up instantly. Would imagine like the smell at Harbor Freight. Made...

Have a Trane thermostat Model BAYSENS019B, MFG. number 91K91. Controlling a Trane RTU. Was working fine then one day went blank. It's getting power, battery is good. At first thought it was a problem with the RTU, but swapped a thermostat from another unit and it works fine. Can anyone tell me...

Have a 1/2hp motor. Starts and runs fine under no load. But the slightest load, it's starts but runs at lower RPM then trips. My thought is the start capacitor. What do you all think. Thanks

What's a good torque reach for occasional use. Be torqueing in the 150 ft. lb. range. I see the Harbor Freight ones get good reviews. Are there any reasonably priced Made in USA ones. I'll pay a little more for one made here. Thanks Thanks

When I log on to garage journal, like to open a bunch of threads then go through and read them. Sometimes after I open a few, cannot open anymore, wait and wait then it times out says this page can't be opened. Then it won't even let me log out, does the same thing. Close the window and try...

Picked up a used table saw, Ridgid Model TS3650. Thought I could get an owners manual at their website, but could not find one. Anyone have a PDF of the manual. Thanks

Looking at replacing some T8 fluorescent bulbs with LED bulbs. What's better, the kind that work off the fluorescent ballast. Or the ones you rewire and bypass the ballast. I know they also cost more, are they worth it? Thanks

Went to open the overhead door on the shop this morning. Hit the remote in the truck, door didn't open, so pressed it again. Door came up about a foot. Got out to investigate, lifted the door the rest of the way open. Apparently the door was froze to the floor. When the opener tried to lift it...

Have an existing 30x50 shop, putting on a 24x42 addition. The new slab will be pinned to the existing. Was considering in floor heat for the addition. My question is: Will the 30x50 slab draw too much heat from the 24x42? Thanks

Making some boxes, 7/16 OSB with 2x4 frame. I've been using a hammer and 4d coated sinkers. Want to get a nail gun to speed things up. Plus I just want a nail gun. What would work best for this application. Thanks

If your adding on to an existing slab that does not have infloor heat. Can the new slab have the infloor heat, or would the unheated old slab **** all the heat from the new slab. Does that make sense?
