I'll be installing a light above my 9x16' garage door to light up the driveway. I think it would be good if it could be turned on from an interior wall switch, as well as come on when it detects motion. Does such a thing exist? Should I just expect to only need the light when I'm moving under...

I guess the title says it all. My shop needs a bunch of new electrical, and I need to draw up a plan that will get reviewed as part of the permit/inspection process. Software might make this process easier, not sure. I found out I can legally wire my own garage here in my city (requires...

I don't remember if I found this forum while searching for information on older air compressors, or if I found it while searching for information about heating a shop, but I have learned a lot from lurking for a few days. Bought a house with a 24x40 unfinished shop with 12' walls, scissor...
