    based on 110' (not sure if that's the total length of the circuit) you could draw up to 8.5A before exceeding allowable volt drop (3% for branch circuits).

    They do , but I'm upgrading to LED's in locations where lights will be on a lot and progressing down to the less used ones . So far most of my living areas have LED PAR20 and PAR30 bulbs , haven't done any outside LED upgrades yet

    My gf painted a room once. Didn't want to use my roller covers, brushes and pans....she bought some from walmart. It looked like they tried to apply primer with a old dishwashing sponge. " I didn't want to use your good stuff"

    We had a talk about why I own those. And all was good.

    True. Roller Covers and Caulk guns are the same way too. The extra 5-10$ is worth every penny.

    Caulking guns just need to shut off when you release the pressure and have a smooth operation those are about my only prerequisites

    I have a large pneumatic subfloor caulking gun that has been a wrist saver for the last 15 years too

    Yep had a good bit of green glue the other week. If it wasn't for a powerd caulk gun I thing I would have just smashed the tubes open and troweled it on. And I have yet to demo something where the drywall adhesive actually worked more than 10%

    The super cheap ones are junk from what I've used. I like the ones in the10-13$ range way better then the 3-5$ range.

    Put this up in the office. Haven't had time to climb in to long and don't want to regress. Kid at the store told me they sold a plywood board for mounting and explained how to find studs. I told him I was just going to knock holes the wall with a hammer.

    Yes. And because of current work and spending 2.5 hours in the truck for the last few months and for the next year or so I've been missing out on climbing and biking.
