Post: RE: Generator Questions
If you try to run everything at once, you’ll need a large generator and that will take a lot of fuel. If you’re comfortable running the well pump when you need water, then switching over for the fre...

Post: RE: Framing around garage door
Might want to swap your springs before you build your rack. If the ceiling is too close to the springs you have to use short rods to wind it. Even the light springs, say 80lbs are hard to wind with...

If your water isn’t really hard, I think I’d look at adding a small tankless inline to that bathroom. I’d rather pull wire than add a full tank. I only mention the water hardness as I’ve read tha...

With only a single element, you should still get water the correct temperature, makeup will be slower though. In the morning, when nobody has used any hot water for hours, you should have a full tan...

Post: RE: Honeywell Humidifier
First thought is since it’s just a cap over the fill port, do you need a gasket? If you aren’t moving it around, the water isn’t likely to slosh out. This is especially true if the cap is closing o...

Post: RE: garage door opener
Jackshaft openers need a torsion spring setup. If you have extension springs, you may be able to convert if you have about 4” of room above the track.

What is it about the #3 that is tiring? Could a woodie or transitional remove the weight or pushing resistance if that is the issue?

What is the wall surface under the junction box cover? It looks like it’d be plenty strong enough that the bolts wouldn’t oull through with the large washer!

Post: RE: Shower Grab Bars for Built-in Shower
Since there’s bound to be a lot of strain on those bars if they’re ever needed, I’d probably open the wall to add additional blocking. It’s not going to be fun, but that bar will be anchored to some...

You’ll need to kill the squirrel before sealing the hole. Until then, they’re motivated to chew a new hole.

Belts are much quieter. Genie warranties them for 15 years. They don’t plan on them going bad. There’s a steel mesh in them. Think of them as a toothed v belt from a car.
