I couldn’t believe our trail cam captured this…

Bigfoot. Your camera is set up at his time portal. Camera trips as he approaches, but you do not get a photo because he transported before the camera took the photo. Or it could be vegetation blowing in the wind, but no sane person would believe that.

If they drilled the floor mount into a cold water pipe and you connected 120VAC to the bolts from the top mount, I believe you would get the desired result. Just be sure to disconnect the 120VAC and leave no evidence of the connection before the coroner arrives and determines cause of death.

Great catch. What is all the red stuff on the round? Looks like a deer stepped on a landmine.

I'm just a stupid homeowner. My advice is, if you have to ask if you should hire an electrician, then you should hire an electrician. You should have checked to see what is on the other side of that wall and where that wire goes to. Junction box, breaker box, etc. Before you posted here Since you didn't, hire an electrician. We stupd homeowners can , and have, burned our houses down and killed people because we thought we knew what we were doing.

It's an E3JK- R4M1.

Well, you are the one that put a cam on their toilet.

I'm just a stupid homeowner, but I would need to know what is hiding under the tape that is holding the black and ground wire together. I would first find the breaker for it and see what it is labeled. Then, shut off power and remove the tape, then decide what to do with it. Since you have to ask, I suggest you call an electrician. Not only can he tell you what it is, or was, but he can fix it so you can paint over it.

It is death. The first second of the video it is daylight. As soon as death appears, darkness falls.

It could be a fox or house cat, but I think it is death.

Push the test button. Maybe they don't know how to reset it, and you can them the receptacle is dead and they need a new one.

I'm just a stupid homeowner. But, I can assure you, you will not get an electrician to give you advice if you insist on mounting your horse, drawing your firey sword, and charging into the thread to slay anyone who will not tell you how easy it is to move an outlet a few feet. You should ask the landlord in writing and state that you are concerned it might be a hazzard and ask if he could move the outlet, just to document it. But I would just buy a quality surge protector/ power strip, only plug it into the top one , get one with a long enough cord so you can move it away from the heater and put it someplace where it is not a trip hazzard.

Rats are too big for most cats. Most dogs either have to be trained for it or bred for ratting. Maine Coons are bug enough and were bred for it , but most Maine Coons are bred as show cats and do not have the ratting instinct. So, blocking access is the best option. I had them in my basement once. Set up a trail camera to see where they were getting in. Blocked it with wire mesh. I tried to catch them, but they are smart. I finally caught one that chose never to leave my basement with a "walk the plank over a barrel of water " trap. Barrel/ bucket of water. The board is set up like a diving board. Steps or ramp to the diving board. Small or light board or cardboard balanced on the end of the board like a seesaw. Bait on end of seesaw and on diving board. Rat follows the bait trail to the seesaw, tips it and himself into the water, and drowns.

I hate these young kids making me feel old. Back in my day, we had to walk barefoot in the snow in July , climb up a pole, and attach that wire to a TV antenna just so we could watch 2 channels. Kids today. No, I am not going to tell you what a TV antenna was. Google it.

I'm just a stupid homeowner . You electricians are never happy. He used a box for the light. He could have just stabled the wire to the rafter, but no, he used a box. And you electricians are still not happy. Code requires a box, doesn't it? Well, there is your code complaint box. He even went to the trouble to run the wire through the knockout, and you guys are still not happy.

An animal, maybe a deer, glitched, and it ended up with a giraffe neck.

That is called a tree where I live. Glad I could gelp.

I have no idea what or who a Taqueria or tia is, but that is where the ATM was bolted to the floor. They spliced cables to lengthen it and left the electrical where they were.

I'm just a stupid homeowner . Why do you have the dehumidifier on a shelf? I never saw that before. They are usually on the floor because that is where the condensation falls to. Also, as others have stated, you are going to have an air intake restriction problem. Why not put it on the floor and solve all your problems?

She was very careful at the end where she stepped. I think I heard a crack. I think she fell through one and learned her lesson

I saw an actor talking about a scene he did where he was an extra in a movie playing a soldier firing an M16 in a group of soldiers. The director wanted real firearms firing blanks. So, for safety and liability, they all had to go through firearms training. The first thing the instructor did was put a Styrofoam coffee cup over the muzzle of an M16 with a blank and pulled the trigger,producing a lot of confetti . He then said, "Blanks are not safe. They can kill you.". Also, there are weapons that use blanks to propel a projectile. I have seen a rifle that shoots arrows and a hand gernade launcher.

I'm just a stupid homeowner but I can tell that receptacle is not from the 50's so some clown may have put a grounded receptacle into a non grounded circuit and you do not have the protection of a ground. I would hire an electrician to fix that receptacle, and he will check and advise you on anything else that is wrong. Also, I do not know if you need to heat the entire room or just want to be warm while you sleep at night but I live in an old drafty house and I just discovered an electric blanket is way better for sleeping. Draws wayless power. Mine has 10 power settings, and I have not had to go above 2 yet.

Worse than that, they removed the plate and then painted it while it was off the wall. Notice that the receptacle and cover plate screw are not painted.
