  1. Don't need to right now. I got the transfer switches for free so I'm still trying to keep the costs as low as possible. [emoji16]
  2. I'm also thinking of getting the recess kits for the transfer switches but they're about $60 each. Granted, it would probably provide the absolute best look. I'd still have to use conduit on the surge protector though
  3. I was thinking about that. The flex is what makes it look like crap to me. My only reservation is that down here, I've NEVER seen rigid conduit in residential. Everything is dry walled, no basements and we just don't use it. But I'm thinking that's the way to go. I also need to do a run for my compressor eventually, or I'll go through the attic. Not sure.
  4. I am very well versed and experienced in basic household electrical. I've replaced basic panels, wired outlets and I understand the ins and outs of residential electrical and some small commercial. Years ago, I bought a some transfer switches to hook up my 15Kw portable generator as we had frequent power outages. I did it quickly and didn't take a lot of time to make it look pretty. I'm getting ready to add two circuits in the garage and figured while I was at it, I would make these transfer switches look a lot more clean. I will also be hooking up an Eaton whole home surge protector. How exactly does one work with a recessed panel into the drywall? I don't like all the wires and flex conduit just pulled through the drywall. Thanks in advance.
  5. Just need to get a bigger power strip and maybe a timer to keep it from running 24/7.
  6. But.... I do have a spare impact and or drill that could be dedicated to it. [emoji16]
  7. No. I didn't. I have a corded version that I rarely use. I think it was $57.
  8. I LIKE! Oversized chip collection bag and a clear chute to make sure it's cutting and to make sure it isn't clogged. Also has the locking system for the dust extractor. Well thought out.
  9. Found this at Lowes today.
  10. Very nice! I've been wanting to make one. The Wood Whisperer has a great video on them. I just would prefer to have a band saw so I can minimize the kerf and waste of wood.
  11. More like Milwaukee is the pool and DeWalt is the deck and the water to too cold and I only have my feet in. [emoji16]
  12. Not really. Just broadening my Arsenal.
  13. Here it is. I wish it worked good because the concept of it as well as the configuration is great. Just simply couldn't scan a wall to save its life.
  14. They responded to a Facebook message on a SUNDAY! I'm very impressed.
  15. I'd pay $40 for it. But anything more than that, there are tons of ideas on various sites that people have made them out of left over material from projects.
