What home improvement work did you do today?

Use it for powder coating!

 

You can figure out amps if you know the watts.

 

Question for you guys. Can you easily lift your 2 car, aluminum garage door with one hand when its released from the opener? I tightened up the spring when I installed a new opener but I feel like its still on the heavy side. Doesnt come back down when its at the 90* bend but it does take a bit of strength to get it moving from the closed position. Doesnt fling open by any means, not even close. Spring is the 15yr old original, so Im not surprised its taking a bunch of turns to get it to assist.

 

If it were electric I would be really considering it.

 

Not a chance
My fully insulated 10’ wide x 9’ tall doors are about 300lbs each for the four panels combined. Not picking those up without the spring helping.

 

Shouldn't be terribly difficult to open and should stay in place if you open the door halfway up.

If it drops they need more tension.

 

Ordered an upgraded maxxfan, pretty stoked about all the cool features. I learned that if you reverse the vent fan it creates a suction that pulls in the canvas as I lower the top, it'll keep me from having to crawl into the loft with the top halfway down to do it manually.

 

They are awesome but I don’t know if they suck hard enough to move canvas. I’ve also read they don’t like voltage irregularities so I put a regulator on mine

 

Definitely needs a regulator, my current low end model (maxxfan V1) doesn't work on the lower settings unless I'm on shore power.

 

Cleaned out the drain trap on the front loader. Supposed to be done every 30 days and this is the 1st time in probably 18 months. I gotta get better at routine maintenance, same with my truck.

 

Can you share the details surrounding your door on the right? I’m looking to make some French closet door and that’s the style I’m shooting for. Except they’ll need to be pretty tall. Wine bar is coming out; closet going in.. unless someone sees any issues with that

 

For a second there I was wondering "do I have one of those on my tractor??" and then I looked into the background of the photo....

 

Ya, I realized how I wrote it doing a proofread, but figured "meh whatever"

 

I added a sign to my garage today. Found this sign at a gift shop when I was in Orlando last week.

 

Just the height and style of door. Looking for something similar for closet doors. Most closet doors are pretty ugly these days

 

Normally architects are the bane of my existence, but, since I work with them I got you. That is a colonist style door, also can be referred to as a 6-panel colonist. Most residential doors are 80" tall but you can probably find other sizes and I'm 1400miles away from putting a tape measure on @T-Rex266's door

 

Installed a Ring flood light. These things are pretty cool. My old flood light in this spot died an early death due to bugs going into the light and shorting it out haha. I haven’t put up my usually hardwired POE cameras at this house so decided to try out this Ring option which just uses the existing electrical and a wifi connection (sub 30min install with basic tools).

So far so good, downside is monthly subscription but you pay that with an offsite DVR camera backup anyways. The Ring app and camera delay is surprisingly fast. It is annoying to have my phone buzz whenever I walk outside as it “recognizes a human” in about 1 sec. Fighting the T-800s is gonna be brutal in a few years.

 

6 panel? Unless I’m seeing a different picture that’s a 2 panel that looks more like this, no?

 

Did all our doors in 2 panel a few yrs back. Definitely a different look than 6 panel

 

Swapped out the 100 Watt 10" sub woofer, which I thought was really good when watching movies untill this bad Larry showed up...
1,600 Watts with a 16" driver at 95# and Holy smokes, pictures are falling off the walls on the second floor.
Man this thing delivers a deep low frequency so low you can barely hear it but your ass rumbles through the couch.
Best audio addition for the home theater!

 

that's just a more universal end table

 

Gotcha. Another follow-up dumb question. What’s the between a two panel and shaker two panel? Is it just that the shaker has 90* cuts and no beveled edges. Sorry, just a newbie trying to learn over here

 

Looks great! Definitely something I’m after.

How are those doors standing upright by themselves?

 

Question for you and anyone else who has a sub on hard wood or any hard floors. How do you keep the sub from walking away? We've always had carpet so it's never been an issue. In our new house we have LVP flooring and I can't keep my sub from trying to walk half way across the room and then unplugging itself.

 

Have you tried some rubber on the feet?

This product seems okay, but I am sure you can find similar that would be perfect for you.

 

It has really nice rubber or silicone feet the 100 watt one had half dollar sized feet this new one has four 1"X3" rectangular feet and it would definitely need it.
I still can't believe the sound that comes from it,it is truly remarkable.
