How to Install a Manual Transfer Switch for a Portable Generator
Scott visits Alaska to install a portable generator with a manual transfer switch to power hardwired appliances like a well pump and heating system using unleaded gasoline.
Where to find it?
Scott installed the Pro 7.5E portable generator and 10-circuit manual transfer switch, both manufactured by Kohler.
Other supplies for this project, including 10-3 non-metallic wiring, wire nuts, and the pieces to make a longer power cable for the generator are sold at home centers and electrical supply houses.
Understanding the Cycles of a Dishwasher
Richard goes inside a dishwasher to explain each cycle.
Where to find it?
Dishwashers are sold at home centers and appliance stores.
How to Repair a Bad Flooring Joint
Tom repairs a piece of wood nosing that was poorly installed and resulted in a bad joint.
For this project, Tom used the plunge cut track saw to cut flooring and the Domino joiner to create mortises for floating tenons. Both of these are manufactured by Festool.
The other materials for this project, including wood glue, construction adhesive, and 16d nails are available at hardware stores and home centers.
