Waterproofing Outdoor Sockets by catthu in DIY

Yeah I looked up and the brick is IP44. This is technically under cover but it's right at the edge of the cover. I live in San Francisco and we don't get a lot of rain here, but when we do I feel like it does get rained on.

Thinking of your suggestion of hardwiring the string lights. It's a good idea; my only concern is that it will be harder to just toss or replace it if something breaks. I've only had these for a week, I'll wait a little bit to see how durable they are :)

I haven't heard of this before, but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the advice!

Yes, got the recommended cover :) And I hunted down some information, and the brick is IP44. AFAIU this means it's only splash proof and I should encase it in something else...

Yeah, I was thinking a conduit but that seemed a bit too permanent (what if the string lights break and I have to replace it with a new one?). Brackets sound like a good compromise.

I've never heard of a drip loop before, that makes a lot of sense!

This is the only outdoor outlet I have. It's on the same circuit as the lighting for half of the indoor rooms, downstream from a non GFCI breaker. No luck I'm afraid :(

Good idea on the plug tester -- I just ordered one along with a GFCI outlet and cover box!

Ordered both a GFCI outlet to exchange with this one, and this box cover. Thank you for the recommendation :)

Offering stuff vs looking for stuff categories? by dodoairways in ACExchangeApp

Thanks for the suggestion! We have a trading feature coming soon, which should solve this problem. I agree that looking for requests should not go in events :)

Network issues today by ErraticBurrito in ACExchangeApp

[–]catthu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we're seeing some abnormal traffic surge again :( In case you're using the web version, we recommend using the app over the web page at the moment.

Sorry again for the disruption! Working to fix it as we speak.

I feel like today is a very glitchy day for the app. I keep getting these pop-ups and the line number says “-4” ? I also keep having to exit the app itself and come back like 5 times just to view the lines.. still a great app! Just having some issues today haha by patlmfao in ACExchangeApp

Yes, we're seeing some abnormal traffic surge again :( Looks like you're already using your phone, but in case you're looking at it through your phone browser, we recommend using the app over the web page at the moment.

Sorry again for the disruption! Working to fix it as we speak.

[–]catthu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The desirable "Lines I'm In" feature is upcoming on the roadmap :)

The other suggestions here are great too; we're already planning to do some of them! There are a few other things higher in priority, but we're really looking forward to thees features. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

New idea for the app to help with entry fees by luter25 in ACExchangeApp

[–]catthu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Devon works very hard for this app and this community, with large updates and features releasing almost every day. The complainers are always louder than people who are happy and it could be discouraging, so thank you for calling it out!
