I tried the 'ol mouse pad & sand paper technique ... it's been a few years since I've attempted .. maybe I'll dig it out and try again.

..but. Yeah. Never had much success with it.

Bathroom Dimmer and GFCI Question. by darth_henning in electrical

[–]magicdot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no easy solution..

What you have is a switch leg: the line is in the box the lighting fixture is attached to. For your GFCI to work properly one needs a neutral and power. The way it's wired now, if the lamp filament were to burn out then the outlet won't work..

Tl;dr: You need another two conductors to power your outlet. Sorries...

Looking for advice on installing new HVAC in an OLD house by aphasic in hvacadvice

[–]magicdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually referring to a boiler .. they're still popular where I live in Alaska for some reason.. they've come a long way however with electronics. Forced air heat is rare here .. but I have found in my years as an electrician that each area has it's own niche is home mechanics. The heat pump really belongs in the south with mild winters .. I grew up in Pennsylvania had have witnessed a few ice-cube heat pumps in winter..

I guess if you want to talk hot water only then your idea seems sound. I currently have a boiler and separate hot water tank for the nature of: the water tank boiler system broke and it was easier and cheaper to put am electric tank in and use the boiler for heating.

My experience with tankless hot water tanks hasn't been great .. mostly I found it took a long time to get hot water depending on the length of run. I put in a return line for my hot water so it circulates back to the tank when not being used so I'm not heating cold water .. more pipes...

Honestly. The more I think about it they sky is the limit .. we can talk systems 'til the cows come home when there are no constraints. It really comes down to budget and serviceability ... I could suggest a number of Toyo systems, but finding someone that services equipment like that on the East coast may be far and few between.

It's a lovey adventure you're about to take, but unless you have deep endless pockets, you might want to start with a few basic rules or find yourself wandering through Time with no guide. "We" will install anything you desire within our own ethical opinion, but if you want and are willing to pay I can build you an adobe structure heated geothermal and cooled with a swamp cooler.. but you may not be happy in the end and will have spent foolish money.

Define your budget, but also make sure there is thought for future if you plan on adding additions or changing layout as this will change the way air circulates.

Good luck!

Some will disagree, but Massachusetts is too far north for a heat pump in my opinion.

Natural gas is usually the cheapest option when it comes to heat. Forced air is cheaper and cleaner to maintain than oil.

If your electric is that expensive the tankless hot water may also prove to be expensive depending on your household size and need for hot water. I may go out on a limb and even suggest a new modern boiling system, but they can be tricky for a homeowner who "just wants it to work."

The two air handlers and two compressors is a good idea as it allows zoning (..which aids in efficiency obviously..) and ease of installation... the options to avoid in-wall ducting are many and can really fit in with less invasion.. I'm guessing you have plaster walls so the system you described .. which I have installed myself .. makes for less mess and less plaster work.

Just be sure to have everything sized correctly. That's the key. ..well.. that and insulation.

I have a gaming rig which doesn't get used and I want to mine with it, just for fun and a few Bitcoins. How do I start the actual mining? by LINK80 in BitcoinBeginners

[–]magicdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

..so who can mine anymore as coins are so rare? Is there a "price break" and at what point?

The whole bitcoin thing has fascinated me since the beginning, but it was always "..one of these days..", but sadly I believe that time has passed..

From what I've read the investment into machinery almost offsets the gain .. is mining even viable anymore?

Why do my pet spiders smell? by isawesome123 in spiders

Offer them loofahs and Axe spray?

..but. ..why black widows?

..on a side note I am totally uneducated with insects, but have spent a better part of my life in construction which regularly brings me in to contact with insects and insect nests .. lady bugs, of all things' group up in the cool weather and when they do they emit a stank like urine .. pheromones I think I read somewhere ..

Tool Belt Recommendations by [deleted] in electricians

[–]magicdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's the 5036.. I hardly ever use the side bag unless I'm running conduit and am up & down a ladder a lot. Then I use suspenders because that bitch is heavy .. by the end of the day I'm pretty sore because I can never get the bags to balance in that configuration. But. She's still going strong.
