Actually this insurance is pretty good. I only pay a $75 fee the first time someone has to come out to determine if there's a problem and if it's covered or not. It clearly states electrical code violations are covered. The insurance already paid over $300 for the microwave. Calling next week...

It's on a 20. Something is just wrong with it. The warranty I'm talking about is something I purchased when I bought the house. Covers major appliances and not to code electrical and some other stuff for one year.

Built in 2001 I believe. I agree about the microwave/stove, considering it's a gas stove. Although we have problems with the microwave tripping the breaker at startup but that's another issue the home warranty thing is working on. I talk to my father in law too. Think I'm going to call up the...

Thanks. Everything is correct in the kitchen except: Built in microwave and gas stove on same 20 amp. Counter tops 1x 15 amp shared with garage. One outlet in kitchen not GFCI. Maybe I'll call the insurance/warranty company. If it's not to code they should fix everything wrong with the...

Now that I'm home I checked and it's actually a 15 amp breaker. So I guess technically the wire size is correct but needs to be on its own circuit. So kitchen outlets on the same circuit as the garage is not to code? I moved into this pre lived in house less than a year ago. I have up to one...

I just finished installing light fixtures in the garage for 32 To 32 watt bulbs. The garage circuit is on the kitchen circuit for the under cabinet outlets, so it'son a 20 amp circuit. So first of all, I mistakenly ran 14 gage wire when it should be 12. Secondly, I'd need to add a circuit at...

I have six 8 ft fixtures... 3 rows of 2 so each row is in tandem. The center row is wired from the ceiling where the origina bulb was. To power the other two rows I want to just come off the end of the middle row, so 90 degrees both ways. is this against code?

Yes I know there are tees for water or gas but they won't install to the knockout hole the same way as an electrical conduit fitting will, with a lock ring.

I need to run wires out of the end of an 8 foot fluorescent fixture, 90 degrees both directions. So I need a Tee fitting but can't find any. Are these available anywhere?

I'm just starting my first layout in my first garage. I don't have anything done yet, but went through the planning the last few weeks. I significantly changed the layout at least 5 times, and small tweaks to each of these layouts quite a few times. Finally I think I settled on something and...

I think I decided I don't need any switching. The garage is pretty small. Yes, if I have the garage doors up, 2 of the 8 foot lamps will be mostly blocked. But, if I'm working in there I will probably have one door open for ventilation. So only 1 8 foot lamp blocked, not worth switching that...

Sweet! This is exactly what I'm doing and what I already purchased the other day. Thanks.

I did the lumens/sq foot calculation... I think I'll start with this plan but remove the 2 8 foot fixtures at the back for now. This puts me between 150-200 lumens per foot with 28 bulbs. 34 bulbs puts me well over 200 lumens/foot. Edit. Just realized I can just do continuous 8 foot runs. So to...

I'm getting ready to buy the fixtures and bulbs... since I made the original post, I've hung 3 kayaks on the ceiling, above the 2 garage doors. This, plus the garage door brackets limit what I can put in the first half. Here's what I've come up with: 4x 8 foot (running perpendicular at the...

Thanks for the tip. I am in the southeast so I should be fine.

I have seen the other threads similar to mine since I lurked here a while to learn before posting. Every garage is different and I just want to do it righ the first time. The work bench is so far the deepest item on the back wall at 23". Enough room to walk but for most work I will just move...

Looking for suggestions on how to arrange T8 fixtures and how many. Most of my work will be around the bike repair stand, but would also work on the vehicles. The drawing shows the garage doors in the up position. I think my best bet for this section is to put a T8 fixture between the garage...
