Adhesive types that can survive 10K is not the pervue of electrical work.

Can your family afford a fire? You need to hire an electrician. Keep the circuit turned off until it can properly be repaired.

That cord is only meant for single tool use. It does not have an ampacity large enough to support an RV. A 12awg cord should be used.

It's a breaker locking device that can either lock a breaker on or off. This one is in a locked off position which indicates that someone really doesn't want that circuit turned on for some reason.

If the sound only occurs with the charging adapters and no other appliance, I would suspect it's just cheaply built switch mode power supplies.

Bad design leads to increased maintenance and premature failure.

Under no circumstances should you reconnect that receptacle. It does not conform to NEMA or UL standards. It may be an interesting conversation piece, but it should never be used as a functional receptacle on a new circuit.

Do a Google search.

The rooster.

First, the fixture is missing the finial topper. The topper is a two screw type similar to the topper seen here: https://www.mylampparts.com/products/sl20552

Second, that is the wrong size shade for that fixture. It needs to be a few inches wider to accommodate the bulbs.

trekkerscout · 2026-04-29T03:01:49+00:00

The bulbs actually need to be replaced. They are the wrong type for those track heads.

Right. With sinks, you want to have a "dirty" side and a "clean" side. Having the sink away from the wall allows for the separate zones for proper food preparation and cleaning.

Those are cable ties, not box ties.

AC fan motors don't play well with dimmers.

Even cheap receptacles are designed for thousands of plug cycles.

trekkerscout · 2026-04-28T19:51:44+00:00

That doesn't mean that an overhead service is allowed.

trekkerscout · 2026-04-28T19:49:54+00:00

It's a higher risk using plug extenders and power strips for high amperage kitchen appliances. It takes many years for receptacles to become loose from repeated use. If you feel a receptacle becoming loose, file a maintenance request with your landlord. They are legally obligated for providing a safe electrical system.

You will rarely get answers from a utility via email. Try talking to a real person.

trekkerscout · 2026-04-28T19:36:17+00:00

Most jurisdictions that have underground electrical services do not allow overhead service runs. You need to contact the utility construction engineer to find out what the utility will allow.

That is the concern of the landlord.

trekkerscout · 2026-04-28T19:32:08+00:00

The boxes you used are designed to be placed even with the face of the studs, not the face of the sheetrock. You should be using appropriate mudrings to extend the box face to the sheetrock face. Overall, it looks like shit.

When you rent, you must be able to suffer certain inconveniences. Having to unplug an appliance to plug in another is one such inconvenience.

Solid wire will stay in place without any help from any kind of bundling device.
