Can the leviton IPHS5 run lights and fan independently?

Hey all,

I am trying to figure out how to wire this humidity sensor switch with an inline fan I got (for my bathroom). I have access to all wires and can run wires if needed as well... I believe I'll need to run 3 way line to my fan but let's see what you the nice people here think.

My question is this - Is it possible to have this switch work in the following fashion: I walk into the shower and click it, turning both the fan and the lights on, then when I am finished I click it again, turning the light off but letting the exhaust fan continue to run until the humidity sensor detects that the level of humidity as gone down enough and then it will shut off the fan....

If it is possible to do - how do I do it?

Genie powermax 1500

Hi,

I have a Genie powermax 1500 garage door opener. It has been working great for the first year but now it only moves about 2 inches when I press the door opener button and then stops. I press the button again and it raises a couple of inches and stops. I tried re-programing it and it only moves 2 inches when I try to set the limit.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem.

Thanks.

Best sealant for pool grout?

Hey guys! I have a small pool leak somewhere near the top tile portion of my pool I have not found yet. Good news is the waterline settles down an inch above the skimmer, but I'd still like to seal the grout. What sealer should I use? And is it a good idea to apply silicone over this grout? There are a lot of places where the grout is worn giving a good gap to fill with sealant, but I'm concerned doing it all over will make it hard to clean, or may mildew. We scrub the tiles almost weekly.

I'll probably use the same sealant for the concrete gap, although that seems more aesthetic right now.

I've found so far:
Vulkem 116
White 3M Marine 5200 Adhesive

Thanks!

Swapping rototiller engine with push mower engine

Anyone ever done it? The original engine, B & S is on its last leg, only 4 hp. Is it possible to swap it with say another 4 hp engine off of a lawnmower? I already noticed one problem. The mounting holes are 4 on the current tiller engine, where as most push mower engines are 3 hole designs. Do they basically all run the same RPM? Don't want to over do RPM's to the tiller part. Shaft length is another thing I'm not sure of. I should be ok with the shaft diameter, I think. Just need to take the pulley off the old engine.
Any thoughts? Thanks

Oxyclean Sucks

Just wanted to post and complain about Oxyclean and how their claims are false. My daughter was playing in the yard for 15 minutes and got grass stains and dirt on her pant knees. I immediately sprayed the pants with Oxyclean pretreater, worked it into the fabric, and let the pants sit for 10 minutes. Then I immediately washed them with Oxyclean detergent in hot water. Most of the dirt came out, but the grass stains did not. Funny how the back of the bottle says it will remove grass stains, blood, wine, oil, etc. Bunch of BS!
