It works on bathroom tile, might be ok in a garage /s

And be super careful about the dust and "fumes" from leveler products.

Level it out with the leveler then cover with rubber tile.

It's fine bro. Just use longer screws.... and more of them

You're fine. As stated earlier, either tape or use a sharpie to color the white wire black so that it's obvious it's not a neutral and it is a current carrying conductor.

But what are you nailing? Those things are so round and skinny at the top, is that the part you’re nailing?

Yeah I figured I was going to try my 18ga first then move bigger if I had to. Part of my hesitation was that my Ryobi Brad nailer has jammed a ton on me in the past... I really do not like this thing, but I don't Brad nail enough to justify moving to something better.

Ryobi guy here. Their bits are trash. Get dewalt or Milwaukee bits

I work as a finish carpenter and most of the time I take contracts for a staircase company… So yeah, basically I do what you’re doing everyday.

I have a Milwaukee cordless brad nailer (18 gauge) and I’ve always just hit the balusters with 2 shots where I’ve cut the angle so it catches nice and firm into the handrail.

I do this on red oak handrails with red oak balusters.

But Looking at your picture now I’m confused..

are those the new ones? I’m confused as to where you need to nail anything, looks like those require a hole in the tread and a hole in the bottom of the rail to sit in. Usually with those i just squirt some PL into the hole on the handrail to prevent it from moving around.

Picturing this made me smile

Hey do you self a favor, just leave that box alone!
just cut in a new box a few inches away at the same height and run yourself a new romex 12-2 and put it on a new 20amp breaker you’ll have your dedicated circuit and you’ll have the original still intact if that doesnt work for you then take existing box out of the wall and put in a two gang box put existing circuit back together on 1 side and your new 20amp circuit on the other.

Another reason self leveller may not work, garage floors are often graded down towards the garage door.

Specifically 3xD washers, not the regular smaller sizes

When I had this problem I made a little shade box out of foamcore board and black art tape for each sensor.

Perhaps you could stick with the umbrella concept, but just tape some little cocktail paper umbrellas above the sensors? ;)

Deck screws worked for me. No glue. Just screws. Tablesaw, chopsaw, router and from below jigsaw built into it. On wheels and gets moved back and forth all the time. Still no play in it after 4 years. I don't really beat on it much with a hammer but I have on a couple projects.

Not the right way I'm sure. But an example of good enough to hold 2x4s together.

I can smell this post

Mortise and tenon, half laps, and tongue and groove or biscuit join the top pieces.

I know I like talking to myself. I do it a lot. It's very cathartic.

Bondo, sand it, paint it, then re drill the holes.

Screws or lag bolts will eventually work loose if recurring force is applied to them. Bolts won't (and if they somehow do they can be tightened) .
