I can get the (retro-fit) window in, secured, and sealed. The problem I have is that Lowes sold me a 1 3/4 finishing strip that goes over the sealant (on the inside). I can't figure out the best thing to use to fix (glue) the stripping to the window frame.

So what's the best to use? Caulk, glue, something else??

What does it mean if 120v/240v is printed on a circuit breaker? Does it mean that the breaker can provide either level of voltage?

If 120v/240v is printed on an appliance, does that mean it can run on either voltage, or that it requires both voltages?

Machines in use will include: table saw (220v), band saw, drill press, router, planer, jointer, dust collection, misc. power tools. Other power consumers include a refrigerator and lights. Aside from the T-saw, other tools will be run on 110v.

The dust collection will run in conjunction with any of the cutting tools. Does it need a dedicated line?

How many circuits do you recommend?

Do I need a sub-panel in the garage?

Hi ,

I am looking for Aluminum and steel sheets and rods ( something I can carry , not too heavy).
I can either pick them up from around Boston or a company that can deliver to Boston in less than 3 days would be great.

Thanks.
