I dont get an error with the tester, it simply isn’t causing the breaker to pop. the msg on the tester screen is '>6.0.' meaning it is longer than 6 seconds for the overcurrent it’s sending to be effective. I’m hard pressed to think anything is wrong since there is literally nothing hooked...

rt250, crazy thing is ,. this is all brand new (as in today). except the tester. had power company complete the service drop today on a large shed.

It is connected to only one item, an outlet. I’m getting a solid 120v. Pressing the test on the af/gfci breaker, it does pop and remove pwr to the circuit. The gfci button on the Klein outlet tester doesn’t cause the breaker to trip. Could it be that these testers only cause an outlet...

Have a Klein outlet tester. Brand new eaton gfci and afci combo breaker. I love the tester, for some reason when I press gfci on the tester it doesn’t trip the breaker. But when I push the test button on the breaker itself it does trip. Is this all normal? Not sure if it would even work...

The slab is a few inches above the soil, the concrete blocks that sit on the footer have also been drylocked. No gutters. The moisture barrier did have a seam, and I use the ‘special tape’ from the manufacture for under slab moisture barrier. Could the water under the slab really be...

new shed build (30x16). monolithic slab 12 inch footer, 6 inch floor. concrete was poured about 8 or 9 weeks ago. Walls and roof have been up for a few weeks. Today I noticed a wet spot on the on the concrete floor (see attached pictures). (about 18 inches from the edge of the footer. We...

I dont think so (but not sure as its covered with wrap) I haven’t put the siding up yet, I suppose if the osb is a bit low and hanging a tad below the sill gasket I’ll cut it so that it is not south of the gasket.

Hi Cobbler, No, unfortunately the bottom of the jamb is not sealed, as the threshold was nailed to the jamb and being this is my first time installing a door in this manner I didn’t realize. in hindsight I should have removed the threshold from the jamb prior to initial install and put...

Readhead, little confused, are you suggesting / saying that the grade around the foundation ought to be 6 inches below the top of the slab, thereby showing 6 inches of the slab as well as the entire cmu which is sitting on the slab? Not suggesting you are wrong, just want a...

Gotcha thanks

There is a 24inch overhang on the eve.

The shed has 8x6x16 cmu’s round the permitter with the walls built on that. Certainly with the rough opening for the door cut out of the cmu’s. Roof -situaiton.. just installed and doing great, no gutters yet. How do I fix this?

What did I do wrong? Large shed (30x16) built on a thickened slab with 1 course of concrete block. Siding isn’t on yet, but roof is. The floor just inside is getting wet (damp). Below are pictures of what’s going on. one is before I removed the threshold, and another is after. I used...

It’s an Eaton MBX816B200BTS To clarify my last post, the meter base neutral is factory connected to the ground bar in the service panel since it’s a combo unit).
