snow this and snow that! nice and comfy here in FLORIDA . evening gals and guyskeep that white shit up there. did my taxes-

 

The brake pads went on without any issues. Of course the last pin was the toughest to drive out. A bit-o-sandpaper and synthetic high temperature grease on the pin/caliper mating surfaces and all is good.

 

Found this out today while changing out my bathroom fans which btw went about like everything else I have redone here. Charlie Foxtrot of the first order redoing what was done wrong !

Any how I am thinking the following is to much on one 15 amp circuit. Mind you this is the way the house was wired when I got here.

Lv Rm ceiling fan
Bdrm 1 over head light
Bdrm 2 over head light
Master Bdrm ceiling fan/light
Master bdrm closet light
Master bath light , vent fan light
Guest bath light , vent fan light
I think it is to much because of all the fans on the circuit.

A 15 amp circuit can have up to 30 lights based on ea having a 60watt bulb


Also if you count all lights and outlets on a 15 amp circuit count ea as 1.5 amps and should have no more than 12 amps (rated 80% load)

 

wife uses tape on the wall, my side of the garage has storeage racks along the wall. the string is only for when ive been drinking. lol

 

That actually sounds pretty typical but I'm not an electrician.

 

I thought it was 6 items on a circuit but heater fans draw more

Good Morning all

Happy Sunday y’all

 

Morning ,
Yeah that is where I am at two bath fans and two ceiling fans one with a light also made me think it was a bit of a heavy load. But I don't know either . When o get the HVAC sys done there will be a an angry pixie wrangler coming in so figure I will ask him to straighten it out if need be.

You can have 400 lights on a circuit.
Just don’t turn them all on at once. Lol.

It hasn’t burned down yet.
Just change your lights to led.
Move on....

Morning kids, was lazy yesterday, today I got to get chores done. Enjoy your day .

 

Good morning all, happy Sunday. Looks like I have a repair job in a bit. I’m sitting in the kitchen and hear the sump pump in the basement short cycling. Water hasn’t come out of the basin (yet) or kicked on the battery backup pump. I hoping there’s a sticky float arm and it’s an easy fix.

 

Bad check valve will cause short cycle also
Good luck

 

110V 20A circuit and naturally flowing water. What could possibly go wrong?

 

Bad gfi

 

sorry... everyone got it at the same time? In my house, usually, one person has it at a time and the crud hangs around for a month or more.

 

Sorry
