As I stated I agree that the rightful father should know. I don't think that the person that isn't the father has a right to know! It's not his kid! Having an amnio or CVC is much too risky for the...

If we were married I would deserve to know. If we were not married it would be her choice of who she had sex with. But this isn't about me... Dating someone and being married to someone are 2...

Well all of what you said except for this part... "and how the baby got there"
I probably wouldn't go into much detail about how the baby got there...

I have a good friend in Lancaster. Would be great here with just about any mechanical questions as he is probably the best auto mechanic in the state! Yes we now have electricity in Kentucky and I...

I agree risky and expensive unless there are risks of birth defects and her insurance would pay for the amnio. Again I didn't say I condone this use but thought she would like to know her options and...

DNA tests can be conducted before birth. Chorionic Villi Sampling (CVS) during the 10th to 13th week of pregnancy and Amniocentesis during the 14th to 24th week of pregnancy.

Well in this circumstance it would certainly be entertaining and a perfect example of poor workmanship.
I had a feeling that water heater #1 should have terminated the white wire on the ground...

"You ARE a murder mystery author, aren't you?"
No but I did stay at a Holiday Express last night! :)

There are many ways that DNA can be tested. Here are a few ways: toothpicks, used...

"How's she going to explain to the bf why she wants a DNA sample from him?"

Getting some hair, saliva or dead skin cell for a DNA test isn't to difficult to do.

"Which means you don't give a...

I would just wait until the child is born and let the boyfriend believe it is his until that time. Once the child is born you can test the DNA and then see if it is indeed the BF's. If it's the...

I would just tell the BF he is becoming a dad and move on with your life. If at some point in the future the BF doubts the child is his he can have a DNA test done and if the child is the friends...

Three ways I know of. 1) dig out and replace the line. 2) Use the trenchless pipe replacement method. Which is basically pulling a pipe through the same hole the old pipe leaves as it is crushed by...

I would say that mathematically your BF has a greater chance of being the father. That is based on you and him having sex twice that day and you and your friend only once. The math would indicate...

Restoring the system is a function of the operating system called system restore and does this by a saved image of the system that is done perodically when you update and add software etc. The...

Never bond the neutral and ground at a sub panel. Bonding should only be made at the main breaker and in your case it sounds like the main breaker and branch distribution are within the same panel....

Well lets hope the addition of the 200 Amp panel was to provide additional amperage for the modern appliances and mechanical systems and not to increase the load on the smaller branch circuits. If...

I recently purchased a home and noticed that the following wiring method was used connecting the 240 volt circuits. The branch circuit distribution panel has 4 wires serving it, 2 hot, 1 neutral and...

Here is in Kentucky. I used 4/0 SE cable w/no conduit. The inside run is approximately 4-5' and closest possible to the point of entry. Replaced the complete system which was a 2 wire 60 Amp service...

You are right I'm more confused than ever. LOL
No, I was told only that I would be required to have a disconnect and decided to add the panel for another 20 amp breaker in the future if needed and...

It should also be pointed out that tie bars on 2 breakers nor tandem breakers in this circumstance are not allowed. I think this is one of the changes NEC has made since the last publication, I think...

Ah I see, I wasn't considering a 3 wire circuit. Was only thinking about 2-2 wire circuits. I guess using a 3 wire circuit wouldn't allow for a second neutral wire and if that is what you were...

Why would someone not pull the neutral tab and add an extra level of protection when installing a multi-wired split receptacle? There is absolutely no benefit, that I can think of, to not pulling the...

Thanks for the clarification. Here it is 6 feet or 2 meters but wasn't sure if that was based on NEC or local code.

OK, I'm obviously not a certified electrician, but reading the above exception confuses me. The way I read it is that there wouldn't be a ground rod needed if there was a single circuit (1 hot, 1...

I have always heard it called "branch circuit distribution panel" when the main breaker is located elsewhere. Using main is confusing to some... If you had a home with 2-200 Amp panels and a main...

My apologies you are correct. I misread the code specifying whether a single circuit or a two circuit system requires a grounding electrode on a detached structure. If this garage were on a single (1...

In completely electrically independent split wired receptacles, each receptacle also has its own independent neutral wire and possibly ground wire back to the electric panel. In a multi-wired or...

Does this water heater gas line have a dirt leg on it? It is possible that the gas line has accumulated pollutants in it and caused the pilot tubing and orifice to become clogged. You could remove...

Sediments in the tank won't cause pressure problems and draining it can cause other problems. The valves on hot water tanks are cheaply made, at best, and when you drain the tank sediments can cause...

The trap, if present, may have a leak as suggested or it may be an old bag trap or similar and be actually siphoning the water intended to operate it out of the trap as you add water. You shouldn't...

Yes, septic tank gasses can cause health issues and other dangers like methane gas explosion hazards and asphyxiation hazards. You should repair the leaky faucet and route gutter runoff and storm...

At least one GFCI protected receptacle must be installed within 36" of the outside edge of the lavatory. (IRC E 3801.6)

The NEC code referance is NEC 210.8 A
Nowhere does it say how close it can...

I haven't worked on knob and tube wiring before, that is some old stuff! But I have seen my fair share of it in the field. Is this k&t wire aluminum or copper? If aluminum then joining it to...

Donf is correct! Just make sure you pull the metal bonding tabs on each side of the receptacle before using it in this fashion.

Sorry, I assumed that the pan had a clogged condensate line and not a hole in it. I would replace the metal pan with a plastic/pvc one if possible. The wood/plywood that is under the air handler may...

I agree the wall mount is designed to withstand little heat where a ceiling mounted unit is designed to withstand much more. The base may not be the only issue with heat. Some wall mounted lights...

Definitely throw the breaker before trying to work on that light. The light may have the hot wire in the junction box and simply turning the switch on the wall to off may not remove the current from...

Looks like the black wire should most likely go to L. Try the following: Black - L, Grey - 1, Brown - 2, Purple - 3.

Try Black - L, Grey - 1, Brown - 2, Purple - 3
Does this fan have a light installed? An option for a light kit? The extra wire may be for a light and the jumpered black may be to power a light kit...

Please be more specific about what the problem is. Is the dryer heating up? Is the drum spinning? Is it making a noise while in operation? Does it simply not function at all when turned on? Dryers...

I agree if it is getting hot and spinning the only thing that would prevent it from drying is improper air flow. Thousands of house fires are caused by lint clogged vent hoses each year. If you have...

Could be the belt is loose and the idler pulley isn't applying enough tension to the belt. With the drum empty there is little resistance and will spin freely but when filled the added weight could...

Is this unit a new one or one you haven't used before? I ask because you noted you "plugged it up yesterday and it started to smoke and smell". Normally dryers aren't unplugged unless cleaning out...

First to answer your questions one at a time. Depending on the amount of amps needed at any given time and the size of the breaker from the main panel will determine what size wire you will need. If...
