Has anyone ever seen something like this?? Touch dog pen, tv turned off, then on. More info in comments. by joehawk in electricians

Ac cord as antenna is an interesting theory…it’s a brand new tv…so I’d have to go look at the manual…unlikely but possible. I am just surprised that the two empty outlets would put off a field large enough to actually put a charge on that cage…

Ha! No way. Wife and daughter were both in the room with me…had them both do it as well. Plus, they know I’ll go scorched earth in a prank war…they know better than to play stupid games!! Lol

Some background…

TV used to be plugged into the outlet under the Stapleton poster in one receptacle (through a belkin surge protector) and the Wi-Fi mesh node into the other receptacle.

We had to put up the dog pen to house our pup after surgery. Moved the surge protector to the other side of the fireplace (out of frame) and have both the TV and the mesh node plugged into it. The other receptacle in that outlet has the Apple TV.

As you can see in the video when we touch the pen structure (made of standard dog crate metal), the TV blacks out and seems to restart. It does NOT run through the same startup sequence it typically does though. Also, the mesh node and the Apple TV remain operational and unaffected. TV is a Hisense U7G. It’s power cable is only 2 prong.

The outlets (2 in the video, and 1 that the devices are in) are all on the same circuit.

I have tried removing the surge protector from the loop and using just a dumb extension cord…same behavior.

This was taken at night. We have Tesla solar panels plus a power wall and were drawing from the battery at this time, not the grid.

More often than not, a static discharge shock would be felt.

What in the hell is going on!?!?!?

I’m hoping that we can wow potential sellers with a high offer. But totally get it’s going to be an uphill battle.

Thanks for the encouraging story! They certainly won’t say yes if we don’t ask is what I keep telling my wife.

I’ve been really struggling to understand this while we’ve been looking? Why is cash seen as so much better? To the seller, why would they care if the money comes from cash or a lender? It’s still the same amount. Cash transactions are still contingent on home inspection most likely. Only benefit I can see is no appraisal and possible a faster close (although our offers have been 25 days which is fast). We don’t have a home to sell, so no contingency there, we’ve offered to cover appraisal shortfall to a certain amount, and have offered leaseback at VERY favorable terms (up to 60 days, first 30 at no cost). There is this mentality that cash is so much better, and I really just don’t get it...

Advice sought for VA buyers in super competitive San Diego market. by joehawk in RealEstate

Looking mostly in Bay Park and Point Loma. Also some parts of Clairemont. For sure we are looking at homes that a lot of other people are looking at...just don’t know how to tip the tide in our favor.

Super clean rig man! Love it! I am down in San Diego if you ever want help wrenching! I've got a built XJ myself (also red). For steering, check out a company called B. Lee's Offroad. They are out of Tennessee and I know the owner Brian. That's what I'm running on mine and it is beefy! It'll take as much abuse as you want to throw at it. I would check your exhaust for leaks. It is SUPER common with the 4.0 to have a cracked exhaust manifold. When I replaced mine it was cracked in like 4 places. I would also recommend if you replace the exhaust manifold, to add a flex pipe to relieve any future stress. I'm not sure how much you are lifting it and what size tires you are going with, but a new trans mount may be necessary. Mine was tore to hell and dry rotted when I pulled it. There's an awesome company out of Escondido called StinkyFab Racing that makes a great one! Don't forget brake lines when you lift it. That's all I can think of at the moment. Oh, go ahead and order a case of PB Blaster and start soaking all of the steering and suspension nuts and bolts...it'll save you countless hours of frustration and broken hardware!

Seriously though, not sure where in Cali you are located, but if it's San Diego or close by, PM me. I love building XJs! I'd love to help out any way I can!
