S10...thanks for the amazing narrative. I believe the relay approach is the best solution to both protect the circuit board and allow open selection of lights. I will probably need my daughter's electrician boy friend to help me sort though your notes. In the meantime...maybe a couple of...

Thanks S10...I kind of understand this...I guess I do need a "picture" :) Seems like the relay is the best choice...my daughter does have an electrician boyfriend that could probably make sure I didn't burn the garage down...or just ruin the circuit board. Other choice of the socket adapter...

I will stay away from the logic board. I think if you look at first suggestion that does not alter the board at all? Just take the opener light bulb and effectively power two outside lights triggered by the on off switch driven by the opener...merely plug your "extra" lights into the socket...

Somehow I get the feeling this may be a "better" solution than the easy one above? Might protect the opener circuit board from high voltage? Since I may even be technically challenged to get the wires made into a plug in solution #1...not quite sure what a really is or how it applies...

Amazingly simple! I would just need to turn the wires run from two outside garage lights into a plug. The wires are already there...just need to remove from the old unit and adapt to a plug...and of course get one of the socket adapters :) Actually could make it work on the old opener...

Getting new doors and new door openers. Existing openers were wired so that the garage door opener turns on two external lights and also turns them off...they are linked to the single bulb circuit on the opener. Turns out this was not something standard as provided for by the opener company...

I think, but am not sure, that it is "code" here in Minnesota. Maybe impacted by the fact that one is a wood burning boiler?? Tom

Bump?......

Hello...I have a dual heat 4 zone hot water system...ie; propane boiler and a separate wood boiler. I used the wood boiler for four years but quit as I had excessive smoke back-up...likely(perhaps?) caused by the fact that the masonry chimney has BOTH boiler venting out through the one...

Thanks All...got it loose by tapping on the wrench with a mallet...will add plumbers grease to threads and o-ring...and NOT "just tighten ONE more time! :)" Appreciate the help. Tom R in Two Harbors, MN...currently light snow!

Relatively gentle hammer assist on the plastic wrench did the trick...did not get to the heating stage. Thanks all. Plumbers grease (along with careful hand tightening) seems like the easiest answer?? I assume most heardware stores would have "plumbers grease"? That isn't the grey stuff is...

You been talking to my wife??? You know the "just a little more will do it"! Tom R in Two Harbors, MN

Hi All...I have a whole house "Omnifilter" filtering the sediment from our well water...we live in the country. I had some plumbing work done and had them put in a new Omnifilter (brand name). This is one of the plastic sediment filters with the drop in cartridge...very common. The new filter...

The 56" Torin he is referring to does not appear to be in the internet link you posted. I have been watching the same box which has been in stock at local CC but now appears to being closed out. It opiginally was priced at $999 for a number of months but my local store had last unit on close...

Re: "hell of a sale" Craftsman 40" combo set 50% OFF DOORBUSTER! Sat. 11/29! 7AM-12NO Is it only applicable in Black??? I would like red. Can you go to sstore and order in today (b4 noon)? Thanks...Tom R

I trust the "$299" deal would surface here if it happened again soon. They seem to be $400++ depending on which sale you see (bottom only). Plus I am looking for a current 15% coupon. I do think I prefer the HF...Thanks...Tom R

Good Morning...I am considering purchasing a 41" top/bottom tool chest. The HF 41" and the Menard Masterfroce 41" are both on sael...Menard Masterforce $698 and the HF is about the same. Any thoughts on which is "best" at essentially the same price? I like the red HF (but wish it were not...

WOW...a bit too much caffine???...or is that really your indepth analysis of the differences between a Mac and a PC???

Hi All...I purchased this set a couple of weeks back...same deal plus an additional $10 off...ie $89. It sure is a lot of sockets! Only issues I have...1) I wish the sockets were better marked...maybe the "etched" version...I guess my eyes are getting old :) 2) The ratchets seem really...

I would love one in red...with the 15%/20% coupon :) Tom R
