I had a floor standing fan on the back porch that was plugged in to a GFCI. When the wind blew and the fan blades turned (while the power was off), it would trip the GFCI. Moved the fan to a standard...

I was faced with the same question a few years ago when a sub left 100' of 10/2 NM laying on a jobsite. He had run it to a compressor from the temp pole to the backyard.
When I picked up the...

How about compressing the end of the dowel with channel lock pliers or vise grips or a bench vise?
I'll bet that once you glue it in, it will revert to the original size and be a nice tight fit.

My electrician explained to me that watertight fittings were needed for use with NM cable in conduit outdoors, and the water tight fittings were necessary due to the paper wrapping the ground wire...

I'm mounting a surplus hvac unit in my shop, overhead near the 12' ceiling, and I'm thinking that multiple large filters would help proect the a-coil and could also be operated on fan only for dust...

My wiring is behind drywall so I ran a few 240v outlets in my shop with 10/4 wire, just because it adds flexibility for the future. It would not be as much of an issue with conduit.
You can choose...

John,
Thank you for the formula.

Jeff

Beautiful!
Yes, if you can post a pic of the custom formula label or whatever you can do to pass it on, I would greatly appreciate it.
Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding....

John, I love the finish.
This is a look that I have been chasing for a while, and have not been able to replicate, very successfully.
Any details would be much appreciated, as I am in final...

Brad,
Once you have milled the charred bits off, if you have any odor in the shop or on the boards, an ozone generator will neutralize the odor.
We use them all the time for fire restoration work....

I have rebuilt several houses after electrical fires, I'm a insurance restoration contractor, and I have found exactly what you described. A recent project had black stripes across the ceiling joists...

I have good memories of it too, it was a good site in the early days of internet sites, and I learned a lot from the guys on there. I especially enjoyed the sawmill run about 8 or so of us made...

I've found that warming the cans of Deft wood finish a little in a pan of warm water before spraying helps the product flow out of the can a little better.
Too hot and it will dry in the air on the...

I'm working on a similar project, we added a 12' long section on to a room with a T&G ceiling.
In this case we had our local Sherwin Williams match up the stain by dropping off a piece of the...

I like this idea, but I'm going to use it in the 45 downturn.
I will just use a 1" ring of pipe to hold it in the outer end of the 45.
Thanks for sharing!

Jeff

Thanks guys, I will keep sanding and shooting. Is there anything I can do to get the finish to go down into the pores? Even when I lay on a heavy coat that looks perfectly smooth when it's wet, when...

I have a new mahogany entry door that I have stained fairly dark, and applied several coats of minwax satin spar varnish.
The problem I'm having is the pores in the wood are showing like pinholes in...

Well, I'm a project mgr. for an insurance restoration company, so I buy a lot of paint.
For new construction I prefer to use the Behr PVA primer, tinted about 75% or so of the final color, followed...

Rick,
I see from your photos that you have the special Australian version. (clockwise vortex for southern hemisphere)
Must be a trick photo! LOL

My favorite quote regarding perfection is:

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

My Granddad had one of those. He said it ran on elbow grease.:)

Assuming 36" high lower cabinets, 24" deep, I set my upper cabinets at 54" from finished floor, giving you 18" between lowers and uppers.
That is the "standard" around here, but you can (should?)...

Kurt,
You're right, the panels probably won't save you any trouble, since you have to cross the floor joists with your wire.
Be sure you follow the manafacturer's directions on drilling the web to...

Sorry Kurt, I missed those details.
It might be worth...

I'm not sure of all the electrical theory of coiled cords, but I believe that overheating due to overloading a fully coiled lightweight cord caused a total loss fire I worked.
