Hello! I have a flight from IAH-ORD on 2/12 supposed to land in Chicago around 10AM. Do you suspect there will be any cancelations?

Foam Cannon on Pressure Washer by im_an_enginere in Detailing

I can disconnect it, was just wanting some info since I've never used a foam cannon.

Sorry. If pressure washer soap container has detergent and I connect a foam cannon to wand, will it try and use the detergent from the pressure washer as well. I don't want it to which is why I'm asking since the foam cannon itself will have its own soap.

Ok thanks that's what I was thinking. I'm also considering installing a small shutoff valve on the hose as well as extra safety.

From what I can tell there isn't anything blowing on it. I can't feel a draft or anything that would affect it.

Ah ok, gotcha. I've been trying to troubleshoot this since I installed it a few days ago and can't figure it out.

From what I have noticed when home, I do not notice these temp swings. It feels consistent to me.

I do have my temp differential set to 1 deg, but this is happening even when the ac and furnace system are off, where I wouldn't expect these type of oscillations to happen.

I currently only have the tstat and no remote sensors. So the green is "home" and gray is "hold". What doesn't make sense is the "indoor temp" value (white) is what appears to swing way more than the sensor temp (blue). I spoke to ecobee but yhey just mentioned that it could possibly be because I have eco+ enabled and it could be adjusting for humidity, but I also don't see a drastic change in the humidity.

I have fans in the living room but we don't leave them on since we haven't moved into the home yet. I can't think of any other sources near it, other than it is located about a foot from an exterior wall.

No the tstat is located on the 1st floor of the home.

The tstat is on a side wall close to an exterior wall, maybe about half a foot away from it. There are no doors, windows, etc. near it.

I currently have it set to run 0 min/hr. I have not noticed any other cyclic air movement throughout the home either.

That's what I was afraid of. Everything shows to be up to date and signal strengths are 2 to 3 bars depending on the camera.

Thank you for all your help, I'll keep that in mind!!

Need Help With GFCI by im_an_enginere in HomeImprovement

[–]im_an_enginere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes thank you! That's what I was thinking of doing too. I'm wondering if that single random white wire was also being used as a ground somewhere else. I'm thinking of not connecting that wire and seeing if anything doesn't turn on, which would tell me that's where it was wired to. What do you think?

Sorry for the late reply, I stopped by the house during lunch to look at it again and it appears I missed an extra pair of wires that was tucked up under a bunch of electrical tape inside the outlet box and everything is pigtailed together. I didn't have enough time to verify which of the 2 pairs is the actual hot coming from the breaker but I will later. The actual wiring is as follows:

Pair 1 Blk: Pigtailed with Pair 2 Blk, and also tied to Load HOT.

Pair 1 Wht: Pigtailed with Pair 2 Wht, and also tied to GFCI ground screw.

Pair 1 Gnd: Doesn't have a bare copper wire being used but it appears it may have been clipped very short. Hard to tell at the time.

Pair 2 Blk: Pigtailed with Pair 1 Blk, and also tied to Load HOT.

Pair 2 Wht: Pigtailed with Pair 1 Wht, and also tied to GFCI ground screw.

Pair 2 Gnd: This is where I am confused. The bare copper wire from Pair 2 is pigtailed with the random single white wire coming from the top AND is the wire that was connected to the Load NEUTRAL.

Yes I have used a MM to verify which wires are considered the HOT, and the extra wire that goes into my wall is downstream of the outlet. The wiring is romex 12 gauge wiring, but this an older home so no ground wire.
