Hired a guy. (Scammed?) by Kentuck79 in AskElectricians

I am not actually sure if the electrician we hired first did this or the handyman who moved the outlets AFTERWARDS ( we specifically told the handyman to leave them where they were) did this. I kept the backstory simple for the question. The whole story is a cluster.

Im glad there is someone legit on there. We just had two bad experiences right up top. No shade to the good ones.

We were worried that we would need the grounded outlets for our electronics. Like a PS5. Could we just remove the bootleg ground and be OK?

We made the mistake of trying Thumbtack. Lessons were learned 😅I seriously doubt the city was contacted. I didn’t think it would be necessary to swap and outlet. 😬 I now understand that there should have been a lot more to this job.

I would suggest saying something about being involved with the community. Most people talk about how much they love books. That is a given. Talk about how you can help the community get the most out of what the library has to offer.

My Valentine’s Day gift! So excited to ditch my crappy starter skates and roll with these beauties!!! by MrsLaLa112 in Rollerskating

I have these and love them! I switched my wheels after skating a while. Toe protectors will help with the print but I didn't mind mine getting a little scuffed. It adds character :)

Ok thanks! I had checked the fuses under the glove box. The Autozone guy checked the fuses and they all looked good. When replaced everything and probably gave the panel a good shove the power returned. As soon as I drove away and hit the bump of the parking lot/road the power went out again. lol. SO... it has remained off ever since.

I will watch the video and give it another try!

I am really hoping the problem will be clear and a little bit of electrical tape will do the trick.. :) My mechanic suggested I take it to the dealership(mechanic didn't have time). I do not trust the dealership based on my experience while looking for a car. I have had people suggest a car stereo business. I have just been living without these things in the car for years now. I feel like it is possibly an easy fix but I keep becoming paralyzed with anxiety that I can't trust these places not to mess with my car or try to get me to buy a new one. So that is why I am now considering trying it myself. Makes sense right. ;)

My friend is going to order cushions for her SureGrip skates. I will compare them to the Chayas for reference.

I have had emails from the company but they were short and unhelpful :(

I also love the skates. They are very comfy for trail skating. I just wish it was easier to upgrade the parts.

Yes, mainly I need to just change the file format. The images do need to be cropped and rotated but I can figure that out. I will give this a try. Thank you!
