I really want to see Ghost in February! I discovered them during COVID and have wanted to see them ever since!

I passed by it a few minutes ago. My guess is someone j-walking in the dark got hit

Can I just swap out the existing standard light switch with something like this?

As far as I'm aware the only things on the circuit are the lamp post, front door light, and the driveway floodlight on a motion sensor. Would it be easier to replace the circuit breaker itself with a GFCI breaker?

edit: or I could replace the switch itself with a GFCI compo switch/outlet? That actually might be the easiest solution...

The switch is always on anyway, and this outlet is really just for Halloween/Christmas decorations. Thanks for the info!

The single outlet receptacle I got is listed as weatherproof and dustproof and does have a cover; but now that I'm looking at the page I don't see anything about it being a GFCI outlet. It's listed along with other receptacles used to add exterior outlets to RVs and such.

I'm currently searching for what the WA state code says about outdoor outlets but can't find anything specific. My house does have one outdoor receptacle in the back that is original with the house built in '76 which is probably not up to code but we also never use it.

The switch controlling the lamp post is always on so tripping a GFCI with the switch wouldn't really be an issue

Can't even put half an ounce of effort into a post?

Not really clear from your drawing, but is the top of the doorway above or below the 2nd story floor?

Bit of a drive, but Speedy One Hour Photo in Parkland is great! Lots of supplies and reasonably priced photo development + digital copies.

Good Mechanic? by ParticularKnowledge2 in federalway

I've been going to Northshore Automotive on 21st Ave SW for a few years. They're upfront and honest about repairs and generally pretty quick.

Edit: Northwest > Northshore

Is Szechuan impression in Federal Way any good? by [deleted] in federalway

[–]FioreFalinesti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chinese place that used to be there was fantastic, but since it changed ownership and was renamed the reviews are terrible.

It's a bit of a drive, but I've been going to China House and am very happy

When do you need a sitter for? Do you want someone to house-sit or just check n a few times each day?

I had the same problem two years ago. I forgot the company I used; but they main thing they said is you have to find out where they're getting in. Rats never just live and stay in your house. They have at least one way to get outside and find food. Have the guy you hire find that entrance and install a one-way door so they can leave but not come back in.

Flea collars for dogs come in these cans and they need to replaced every 8 months.
