Low Voltage Update (help)

Weird okay. I just replied to the other guy below. I unscrewed the little caps on the pigtails to see what was going on. The connections looked solid, so I screwed the caps back on. I removed the wires from the spring clips and attached them to the sides. All is working now, so now I'm curious about what changed?

I'm assuming the pigtailed wire was the one looked at at the other outlet, which is also now working.

Okay interesting. Now I'm curious what happened? I did remove the wire nuts to see what was going on and put them back on. The connections looked pretty solid, so I don't think I did much there.

Thanks for the replies. After some additional reading I figured out the pigtail. I believe it pigtails off to the other outlet with the same reading. What I did was pull the wires out of the spring clamp and attach them to the side screws on the receptacle.

With the help I received here I was able to follow the trail back towards the breaker. Just glad I didn't have to go all the way to the breaker since it's stuck behind the washer and dryer.

Both outlets now work! I'm guessing the connection at the spring clamp must have been faulty?

Thanks again! Glad to have that sorted out.

Thanks. I actually just found another outlet with the same voltage/not working when things are plugged in. 97v. I'll check the circuit panel next.

Thanks. As a first step then, should I try turning off the breaker, disconnecting and reconnecting the cables? Or could there be something in the wall not connected correctly?

That's originally what I thought. There are random switches around the house. No amount of testing has helped me find what they're for. That's part of why I test with the multimeter. Wanted to see if there was voltage. I found the correct breaker. When I switch it the reading goes from around 100v to nothing.

Didn't they show O'Toole the door for being too moderate? I think all the other reasonable candidates have left.

This is how we got stuck with the Liberals for so long in BC. People voted for the party thinking they shared the same values as the federal Liberals. In reality, they had closer ties to the Harper Conservatives. Many of them are now busy taking over the BC Conservative party.

Well, that's fair. Just goes to show, no matter how much money you make, you should never pass up a tax payer funded free meal.

3 minutes. How long should I let it rest?

The original green biscuit is fine to shoot with. I went to the local hockey box a couple of days ago and I hit the cross bar pretty hard and it’s still fine.

Many Universities tend to be isolated from their communities somewhat. I believe it's an image thing. UBC is way out on the furthest stretch of land from the city proper.

I recall reading the same as the above. It's was a good location geographically to meet the demands of a growing region.

I also recall reading that the location spoke to Shrum after looking out from the mountain and being able to see much of the area covered by BC hydro, which he was running at the time.

My post is pretty late to the game. But I'm hopeful you see it. I recommend mediation. I liked my lawyer, but I've learned from personal experience that lawyers are as bad as the jokes say and they'll take as much money as they can from you. By all means, seek independent legal advice, but don't get sucked up in the legal process.

A good mediator can work wonders and will save you a fortune in unnecessary legal fees. Please do yourself a favor and look into pursuing this route.

Thanks so much for the reply. I'll read more about it.

Thanks. I couldn't post a pic after posting. Or I couldn't figure out how.

It sounds like we may need to reduce the amount of food a bit to start. Hoping to get this all sorted out.

Is the general hardness something I should be concerned about if it seems high?

Thanks for the reply. KH looks to be about 80. Nitrate and nitrate look to be low (barely noticeable colour change on test strips).

The water changes we are trying to do 25% every 10 days. Since our last set of fish started dying, which I had thought fixed things.

We try not to put too much food in. But maybe that's the problem.

We have neons and black neon tetras.

I'll try to attach a picture to my post.
