    Shed Circuit

    Awesome, thank you. I'm assuming that the "main disconnect" switch must be in it's own junction box? It would be more sleek if I could put it in the double gang box with the first outlet, but I'm not sure if it still qualifies as a main disconnect then even though electrically it will do the...

    Shed Circuit

    I'd like to install a simple shed circuit to my new wooden shed. I'm planning on running 12-2 UF on a 20 amp circuit that is protected by a GFI outlet. I am planning on using 1/2" PVC conduit for the physical protection part coming down into the ground and up under the shed. I had a few...

    Replacing hot water baseboards with PEX

    I have an older gas fired boiler. I can check the BTU rating when I get home later. Those wall panel radiators are interesting. Coming up from the floor is almost a no-go. It's very hard to get access in that part of the house from the crawlspace, and I wouldn't be able to get the piping over...

    Removed Electric Hot water Heater - Breaker Filler Plate?

    Update - the Filler plates didn't snap in correctly, but I used those two positions for new circuits.

    Converting Two Recessed Lights on a Single Switched Leg

    Signed back in here to ask a different question, and noticed I'm bad at updating my original posts. The short story is that the wife decided we didn't need a fan in the bedroom, and I left the ceiling alone. Win-Win.

    Replacing hot water baseboards with PEX

    Hello, I have two bedrooms I'm looking to remodel. Its a 1920's bungalow, which I suspect had no heating when it was built, was probably used as a summer-only house. It appears that when heat was added sometime later, they did it the "easy" way and just ran 3/4 copper with baseboard radiators...

    Converting Two Recessed Lights on a Single Switched Leg

    Hey Patrick. Yeah.. I can get a new wire up there if I cut open the drywall. I had considered the pull chains but that is a 12 foot ceiling at the high end so it would be a long chain, and because it's the tall wall.. There is the "top plate" at 8 feet, so unless I go with that on wall wire...

    Converting Two Recessed Lights on a Single Switched Leg

    Thanks Guys. HJ, that's what I was referring to in #6 above, but I didn't explain it well enough. There is only one wire going up the wall from the switch, so they should be connected at one of the cans. I wanted to have independent control of the light fixture and the light on the fan. I...

    Converting Two Recessed Lights on a Single Switched Leg

    I've fallen into the unlucky situation of "wife wants to add stuff" to the project after I have finished the Sheetrock and Painted again. I'm finishing up the bedroom, and want to convert two recessed lights. I want to convert one of them into a ceiling fan, and the other into a small...

    Removed Electric Hot water Heater - Breaker Filler Plate?

    I had my electric hot water heater replaced with gas, and the plumber left a section of the 10/3 supply wire wire-nutted and in a new handy-box about 2 feet away from the breaker panel. I know its fine as is and is safe, but I would like to clean it up and remove that section. This also leaves...

    Moral Question about using tools a mason left at my house..

    It was over 6 months before he remembered to ask for them back. He had left a 2x12 there he was using as scaffolding. I got tired of looking at it, I cut it up and threw it away. He then proceeded to throw a hissy fit about me throwing away his stuff.. which apparently is only ok for him... I...

    Ideas for finishing Sunroom.

    Thanks Dana! I didn't see this post. (I've been busy and set the notification type incorrectly). A lot of information to digest! I have to get out there and make some drawings with what kind of clearance I have on the walls and Windows to figure out how thick I'm going to put the insulation...

    Ideas for finishing Sunroom.

    I have been using my sun-room for a storage area/workshop/disaster space since we moved into the house, its now in the project queue. I wanted to put up some pictures here and get some ideas on finishing it before we get that close to doing it. It is about 10x12, and has only jalousy storm...

    brainstorming for new laundry room

    We decided not to put the Washer and Dryer in this location, and instead put a large walk-in closet with lots of ikea shelve's for my wife's clothes and shoes. At least she likes it and it is done :-D

    would you consider this hack work?

    I think the ceiling fan medallion might be what we will end up with. She still hasn't made up her mind. Here is one I was considering. I didn't seal the edges of the shelf. It was late at night and I just wanted to get it done. I just blasted a hole saw through the shelf (particle...
