Hi Spiro,
This was great information. after figuring out the amount of wiring it was
going to take to complete this project. And trying to figure out how to hide
the wires going from one room to another. Not to mention the amount of

Here you go Tim, Dale sent this to the list some time back and I kept it
since I have a few of these type switches in my home.
Simplest way to think of this Scott is that the red is the common or
traveler I think you are referring to it.
There are three terminals on the switches, two on one side.
Time, here is another one by Dale.
Good description except remember that where there is a double switch there
will be a red wire in the light box as well, actually two red wires. Three
conductors, black, red and white are connected to each switch in addition to
the non-insulated ground. As another

The switches used in a two switch system are called three way because each
switch has three terminals. Let's call the terminals A, B, and C. When the

switch is in the other position A is

I have toured the Olympia when I could still see back in the early 602. It was
docked in the same place then.
As for dry docking something that large I'm out of my area. Done a lot of work

I want to get a ladder to help me with getting on top of my house. Don't ask!
I might want an extension latter. Don't know what is the safest option.

I built my shop 24 on center too. Home Depot had strips instead of rolls of
insulation. They came either 8 or 10 strips and they are folded in half and in
a giant garbage bag of plastic. I found both the 2 by 4 and 2 by 6 strips
there. Lowes didn't carry anything wider than 16 inch

I don't know the exact name but you can find them in the gutter area at any
home center. I'm sure I'll be at Lowes over the weekend and I'll try to

You're right and I'm always the one that gets to go up the ladder. But one

half my size and just can't quite push me out in the rain. But then too, I

Always get one that is rated for more than your own weight. I carry a lot of
stuff up the ladder and already weigh more than a lot of ladders recommend. My
extension is rated for 300 pounds and I go about 230. But a bundle of shingles
puts me near the limit.

Tom, those hands free controls have been around many years. now where
to find them. the first I saw was in a deeper sink in high school shop
in the early 60's. it was a round ring which went half way around the

late 60's

Hi all,
just purchased an air compressor.
It only has a 5 meter length of air hose.
The unit has a short electric cord, and they say not to use an extension one.
They advise to get a longer air hose. So I need to know how long a
hose I can use.
Thanks for any advice.
Max.

Knowing the folks who gave me their off list input; this makes absolute

Don't buy knock off parts. They don't fit right, and they aren't made as
industructably. :)

well I can say that my electro-lux was about a grand. But it claims to
have a 13A motor. Ill tell you it picks things up matie.
TheHoover wind tunnel is supposed to be better than the Orick, so I'd like
to try it. But the EL is so much better than the Orick and they go almost

The sales technique used reminds me of American Frozen Foods. They come to

by points! They want to fill a freezer with about 6 months of meat. Then
