I'm rewiring an old lamp and the engineer in me says I should ground the frame in case the socket goes awry. There's currently no conductivity between the neutral part of the socket and the frame/pol
Yea, after looking around at the (lack of) available wire, I disassembled the socket and determined it was pretty unlikely the hot screw would ever contact the frame, since the cardboard was in great
I have an Amtrol WX-203 (installed Sep 2009) and I need to add air more and more often otherwise the pump short cycles like crazy. There's no water spitting from the air valve and no air coming out o
Not long after posting this I finally found a video where some glorious soul had taken one apart. My vision of the bladder holding the air was incorrect; the bladder holds the water, and the air is i
My local supply house doesn't carry Amtrol but they do have State. I can't find much on the web about their quality. Pricing is similar. Are they decent? The hookups are the same, and it's 4 gallons

The only downside I can think of is that the new tires might hit the fenders, either immediately or while turning the steering wheel. Still, someone buying this should expect issues like this and jus
A friend got a nice mini split system and have me his Frigidaire window AC. Weird problem is, the compressor runs when needed, but the fan shuts off intermittently. Sometimes it'll blow for a few min
I have a friend's used window AC. It runs great until the room is cool, then the fan starts to short cycle. The compressor operates normally. All the googlling gives me answers for a cycling compress

I'm going to drive in some small augers & plates as deck footings (Titan deck foot). They came with a 1/2" drive impact socket. Rather than buy a corded impact wrench that I will likely never use aga
Ok thanks all. I can't find one for rent anywhere near me, oddly. And I don't have the airflow to run a decent pneumatic one. I'll drive the first one by hand to test for rocks, then I'll just bit th
Hahaha, 0 for 3 on finding a rock-free location. I did pinch the webbing inside my thumb with the breaker bar, so there's that... Any crazy ideas to get a 24 x 24 freestanding deck secured against de
