Seems like there is a question whether a proper ECG is already existing to the mini split condenser. If it is there, just disconnect and get rid of the grounding electrode located at the condenser. No need to tie the two ground electrodes together as the condenser located ground electrode...

As suggested by BillK I would take a known "good" fixture and put it in the "fixture killer" location since it is odd that two fixtures failed and the common condition between the two is the location. Testing at the bench may not be conclusive if they were damaged after being installed at the...

You need an external tuner as stated. A modulator would need to plug into the very coaxial jack you no long have. Connect the output of the tuner to one of the HDMI jacks on your TV. The newer devices used in current turners can give you some better sensitivity so you may get a bonus of more...

What are you using inside the house in terms of modem, router, gateway etc? Can any or all of it be relocated so it has a better view of your shop and still give proper in house coverage?

And the forever "whose dog crapped in my yard", my dog is lost again, etc

Based on some reading in my "Nextdoor Penngrove" community it looks like the insurance companies, or at least one for now are mandating automatic safety water cutoff valves. Please forgive if this is old news, but this is the first I have heard of this and I just so happen to be dealing with my...

The rear end looks like it may have an option or access for a PTO, (Power Take Off)

Not sure if there is an inspection involved, but make sure that GDO back up battery is in place as Senate Bill 969 has a $1000 fine for violation. I am assuming you are in California as I believe it is the only state that mandates GDO battery back up.

I know nothing about this pump but if no air coming out perhaps time to look at the intake side, is air going in such that it can be compressed.

Nicely done! Does the Liftmaster have it's own internal battery back up as well? Any RF interference from the inverter causing grief with the the Liftmaster remote receiver?

Actually it applies to things that become transmitters but that is not their intended purpose. It also applies to devices that become unintended receivers and they must be designed to not accept interference. Early LED bulbs that found their way into garage door openers caused issues with the...

Perhaps it is a different "Ghost in the Machine" in regard to post processing of the detected current imbalance. Under FCC part 15.5 devices must not cause harmful interference as well as they must accept interference from other devices. I would not be surprised if some "budget" , or early...

Does this whine change with engine speed? Is charging system OK? Could be bad suppressor or diode fail in alternator.

Clearly this person does not have 40 years of real world experience. At best he has 40 times one year of experience! This personality type stopped learning years ago because they already know everything! The EC is buddy or brother in law! Curious how he wired the first two. Did he make two...

No one should do work in a box if they don't at least wave around a no contact power sensor of some type, before beginning.
