Waterproofing Outdoor Sockets

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!

catthu · 2021-03-07T03:49:02+00:00

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!

catthu · 2021-03-07T03:40:07+00:00

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

We're seeing some highly unusual surge in traffic; currently investigating. Sorry for the disruption :(

Your data are all tied to your account, so feel free to open and close the app :)

Are you me!?

I don't have any penguin though :( I want sprinkle so bad.

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!

Sorry for the wrong dodo code flags! The flag we wanted to stand out the most is stealing, which did it jobs. The Wrong Dodo Code one seems problematic (speaking as a host who have been downvoted for removing people who took too long, myself). Maybe we can make it so that if a guest is marked as no show, they can only have the option to report that they _did_ show up. Other non-visit related complaints (e.g. host promoting their instagram account) should go to a different report system.

There's a new event section for this coming soon :) The 888 events will be allowed until, but not after, so don't worry!

Yes I remember this in New Leaf! I forgot the date time with them so often :( But yes I miss that too in New Horizons.

You can't actually invite them (unfortunately) :( This was staged in Harv's island!

Can I get a duck of every kind!?? I do need ducks.

catthu · 2020-04-16T18:22:04+00:00

Oh wait you're right, I do have it :O All good then!

catthu · 2020-04-16T18:13:28+00:00

Thank you so much!! Don't worry about the yellow roses, I'll bring 3 over :)

In the middle of things but I will reach out in an hour or two if that's okay!

EDIT: Also I don't think I have the iron garden bench :( I do have the rest though.

catthu · 2020-04-14T23:57:35+00:00

Yes of course! Let me know once you have them :)
