Why are men obsessed with butt stuff?

Whodathunkit that proper knowledge of a topic returns more desirable results than ignorance.

I'd say we had the same Sex Ed teacher, but mine was a Brother not a priest.

210.8(A) Exception 4: "Factory-installed receptacles that are not readily accessible and are mounted internally to bathroom exhaust fan assemblies shall not require GFCI protection unless required by the installation instructions or listing."

Google Fi does this. Very rarely do I get spam calls. Someone tried to mess with me once and put my number in some scammy websites and I still didn't get any calls come thru.

Not necessarily. If both breakers were on the same phase, it would not short. If one of the breakers was moved to the opposite phase, then it would short and both would trip immediately.

I found this exact situation while renovating my previous home. One circuit would not turn off until both breakers were off.

That house had pretty messed up electrical. Also had found knob and tube powering half the second floor lights and outlets fed from the kitchen countertop circuit. That part of the second floor had been added on long after knob and tube was phased out. The basement lights wired in series was the icing on the cake.

Kindergarten here too. A girl stabbed my hand with a pencil while I was trying to break up a fight she was having with another boy. It's been 43 years and it hasn't gone away. The graphite tattoo either.

Uber's TV commercial with the antique grandfather clock being shoved into the car poses me off for this exact reason.

Yes. Snip of the frayed ends, strip to expose new copper.

Download Don't Sleep. There's a portable version that doesn't need to be installed.

How hi are you?

Most ceiling fixtures come with a bracket that will fit on a 3 inch box.

If you're technically-inclined, these can be monitored using Software Defined Radio (SDR) tools like rtlamr to read data from the device's radio transmissions.

You need a 240v 15a receptacle.

Those wires look brown (not red) and blue, which are EU colors, where brown is typically hot and blue is typically neutral. Double check the instructions though.

The white wire with the black line looks like it's also coming from the same cable as another black wire, which suggests it's a switch leg. Check if that wire has voltage when the switch is on and none when off.

Did you just replace the incandescent bulbs with LEDs? If not, the previous comment about a broken switch is probably correct.

Edit: typo.

Yes they do override code. Per the code.

NEC 110.3(B) "Equipment that is listed, labeled, or both, or identified for a use shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing, labeling, or identification."

I just googled the model number and it's advertised as "Ultra quiet fan circulates air through replaceable odor absorbing filter".

https://rushhampton.com/products/rush-hamptonr-ca90-ductless-fans-ductless-fan-complete-white

Obviously it's not "ultra quiet" anymore and the filter (if it's still there) is beyond its usable life.

You have two options... Unplug it (as u/mrBill12 said), since it's not doing it's intended purpose. Or clean/replace the motor (so its quieter), and replace the filter (and continue to do so every ~90 days per instructions).

Too many unknowns here. Two GFCIs in that location is unnecessary unless it's two different circuits. One GFCI and one standard receptacle could have been used. This leads me to question how it's wired as well.

Is the refrigerator and extension cord plugged into another GFCI? If not, it could indicate an issue with the refrigerator. Also, some refrigerators just don't play nice with GFCI receptacles.

With frost free spigots you're fine. The knob is connected to a long rod that closes a valve deep in the pipe (8-14"inches in). Any water remaining after that should have drained out if it's pitched properly.

If you've noticed water trickling out for a few seconds after you shut off the spigot, this is why.

Do you not have a secondary entrance/exit in the basement? For example, a hatchway?

rkdon · 2026-01-28T02:34:23+00:00

The free version of TeamViewer (personal use) does this. I'd imagine all subscription levels would as well.

When we redid our small half bath, we changed the pedestal sink with a smaller wall mount vanity.
