    AFCI breaker

    I'll try another circuit tomorrow. I've narrowed it down to when I try to print over the network and haven't printed in a while. As soon as it starts to heat up and pull a paper through it trips at that exact time consistently. I have my 3d printer in the same room and it never does that. It has...

    AFCI breaker

    I have a HP laser printer that keeps tripping the breaker in my office. Was just about to toss the printer when I came across a site where it was discussed that things with motors tend to cause these AFCI breakers to trip. Thought I would ask here and get some recommendations on what my options...

    Outdoor sillcock

    Here is how it is attached to the house. The blue mark is where it actually is vs the plans. The bold lines are OSB under the drywall.

    Outdoor sillcock

    You know now that you mention that I have had to replace the one in the back yard twice because it failed and wasn't letting water out when I would turn on the water. Pain in the **** because that's the part that has hose thread so I wasn't able to just eliminate it completely. I did feel better...

    Outdoor sillcock

    I would say it's at least 8" and pry a 12". It comes from outside into a wall of a closet. It passes though a stud and then to the drop elbow which is connected to pex. The frost free actually had a foam wrap around it and I could feel it burst at end. Only thing I could think is it was used by...

    Outdoor sillcock

    I pry should but my drywall skill aren't very good. As it stands now I am able to have my access panel in the closet. If I wanted to add a shutoff I'd have to an access that's in a very visible spot.

    Finally got around to making an access hole and it is threaded into a drop ear. Any special precautions to take when unscrewing this one? Was gonna go buy all the sizes of sillcocks so I can remove and replace with as little water downtime as possible.

    Outdoor sillcock

    The hose was not connected. My guess is an improper install. It appears to be level and not angled down. Of course the one year I don't put that covers on this happens

    Outdoor sillcock

    This is what has me thinking. The house was built in 2017 idk if that makes a difference or not.

    What are the chances it has one of these that the sillcock screws into?

    Outdoor sillcock

    I poked a hole inside where the water line connects and its pex through a stud towards the outside. Even if I did cut an access it's through the stud to the outside. So I am wondering if the builder used a screw on or a barbed end type. I have to think a screw on because there is nothing...

    Outdoor sillcock

    Learned my outside faucet froze yesterday when my son tried to wash his car. Water started pouring inside. So today I drilled some holes n stuck my sope inside to see what I'm up against. Well I'm hopeful it's easier that I'm anticipating. Looks like this just screws on to a fitting, but I would...

    Strip light to bulb socket

    From the access it appears to have a blue box where the wires connect. I'll get some more pics tomorrow

    Strip light to bulb socket

    Which ones did you go with? I've noticed now especially in the cold months the florescent bulbs take a while to warm up.

    Strip light to bulb socket

    This is what I would like to swap to a bulb socket. It just seems so straight forward I feel I may be missing something. These florescent lights **** and don't give much light output so a bulb fixture with one of those LED bulbs that has adjustable heads seems to be the perfect solution
