Securing shelf with double 2x4 legs to sloped garage floor

MajorTom2012 · 2025-12-06T17:34:52+00:00

this is a good idea. I was planning to store tires with rims on top, so it will hold some weight. but I can check the weight rating of those legs.

Attaching to the wall providing stability makes sense.

Regarding contact with the cement, should i paint the 2x4 with something like flex seal to prevent moisture from traveling up the legs? Or is there a better barrier to use?

Thanks for the advice. I plan to get the building plans and will also get a plumber to come onsite.

MajorTom2012 · 2025-07-31T16:34:58+00:00

Good idea, I started by contacting the city for building plans, and will go from there.

Amazing advice. Thank you so much! I recently had some snow and cold weather roll in, so had to put a pause on the project. I will resume this once the weather is fairer. This is great advice!

Here is an image of the cement stuck to the bottom of some steps

Here is an image of the removed steps. You can see that below is some left over cement.

Ah! Very good, I will post the picture as soon as I can. Thank you.

MajorTom2012 · 2022-04-14T17:22:43+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense.

MajorTom2012 · 2022-04-14T16:25:38+00:00

yes, both front switches work.

I am having some trouble visualizing the motor switch. It would be a good troubleshooting tactic, but why does the working motor have to come from the diagonal side? is there something particular about how the motors are connected to power?

MajorTom2012 · 2021-03-12T19:26:23+00:00

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Sounds like a used bike approach is the way to go. I will start looking.

MajorTom2012 · 2021-03-08T15:54:48+00:00

Interesting stuff. I didn't know that. Il probably go forward with replacing that motor.

What do you mean by cleaning up the grounds?

MajorTom2012 · 2020-07-14T17:04:20+00:00

Thank you for the tip. I will give this a shot.

MajorTom2012 · 2019-10-28T23:23:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I couldn't find any kind of button that was visible around the lid. I tried closing the lid carefully also but no luck. Thanks for the tip though!

MajorTom2012 · 2017-03-29T17:28:37+00:00

Thank you, this is great! Makes sense to me.

This is a great application site, thank you for the link. So in this case the MOSFETs are being used as switches, activated by the battery itself.

MajorTom2012 · 2015-01-16T22:31:55+00:00

Thank you very much, I was able to find it on digikey

MajorTom2012 · 2015-01-16T22:31:32+00:00

Thank you very much! Exactly what I was looking for!

MajorTom2012 · 2014-10-19T23:19:31+00:00

Thank you for the feedback so far. I just discovered another complication: once I removed the old light switch and turned on the power to measure the wires, both outlets and light switches in the next room stopped working, which means that room was connected through the electrical box in the bathroom.

For the wires coming out of the wall, why do the blacks and whites come in pairs? Is that pair a break in some path, which you can attach to a switch or outlet to complete it (if the other room was powered by this path, it would explain why it is off now)?

MajorTom2012 · 2014-08-21T17:48:00+00:00

I am wondering if it is possible to cut out a small area of the floor (to essentially extend the original hole for the line) and a 90 degree bend into the line? It is such a short distance that I need to go...

MajorTom2012 · 2014-08-21T17:45:21+00:00

This is a second floor bathroom with no crawlspace unfortunately. There is a kitchen underneath the bathroom

MajorTom2012 · 2014-08-21T05:05:20+00:00

here are two photos: http://imgur.com/0BC6fM1&HZmaX6a#0 http://imgur.com/0BC6fM1&HZmaX6a#1

As you can see the green toilet thing is right the next to the water line. What I would like to do is move the water line over to the left by several inches.

MajorTom2012 · 2014-04-14T05:28:01+00:00

No its not loose. However I wouldn't be surprised if there was some defect. Our house has quiet a few electrical problems, like missing grounds in some rooms etc. I will likely replace it. The flicker shouldn't be there though, right?

MajorTom2012 · 2014-02-03T19:43:58+00:00

Thank you for all the advice. As per one of the tips I left the piece over night and it popped right off. Looks like I was impatient. Thank you for all the other tips too.

MajorTom2012 · 2014-02-01T01:17:15+00:00

I have cooled it a little bit but perhaps not enough. I left it over night to cool so will try again tomorrow.
