If you're putting an additional light above the shower area it should be both fully enclosed (rated for over showers) and GFCI controlled (light switch after the plug), nothing else should need that...

ctscooby, the link to the LOWE's site shows a duplex receptacle rated for aluminum wire. You prob'l'y have copper wire so be sure that you get a duplex device that's rated for copper.

If you look...

Yup, that one is a laminate-with-bamboo; I've seen solid bamboo as well. I don't have experience with other unique soft surfaces that are good in wet locations; vinyl, marmolium, linolium, hardwood,...

I just re-read the whole thread, and it may be that the second neutral is not connected in the switch box.. Got to go make dinner for the spousal unit; she'll be home soon. Maybe later tonight...

Sorry, got called away & didn't sign out - kind of rude! Yeah, I guess a few questions left. But we both forgot to remind him that all ground wires need to be tied together in the entire house, so...

Stratmando, Hi! I re-read the thread and it seems that he's put two recepticles in the box where the fan used to be. Don't know yet if they were two halves of a duplex or two singles or two...

Hey Ray, how about bamboo?

Which paint product are you using? What does it say about dry-time?

... And KISS, you're right. I could not see the pic so didn't see the screw, but the fine thread screws are for metal studs and are a poor hold in wood - too easily strip the hole they make when...

Even if the cracks are in the wood trim (base where the wall meets the floor, casing when around a door or window, chair rail when part way up a wall to protect the wall from chairs scooting back,...

I also forgot that the cut cannot be verticle, it must be half of the angle otherwise the two profiles don't match up. Sorry, folks!

ctscooby, I have a better picture of what you have - is it this:

Two switches in two locations ( call 'them #1 and #2) fed power to one location on the lid (ceiling) - a fan/light combo, and they...

John, do you have romex or knob-&-tube wiring in your house?

Re-run. A splice must be in a junction box, soit's easier and cleaner to run a fresh wire.

Try laying the chairrail against the wall on the steps (it may not touch every step but will be close). At the top mark it with a verticle line(use a level). Measure the angel and use it for the...

A settling or shifting house will give here and there, so yeah, builders will return. But yeah, they want to limit the time frame so will likely not come back after 4 yrs. The structure has likely...

Yup - without removing the texture from the dining room lid, or adding texture to the kitchen the best bet is a fake beam. Wood or wrapped in drywall - either way works well.

If this is a sump pump then the water in it is at the same level as the underground water around your house. Try to empty the hole by siphon or bailing it out to see if an old pump is in the bottom...

Not supposed to. Usually the 'strain relief' that the wires go through are rated for up to two wires. Depends on the type of strain relief and the wires.

The switches get power first, then power goes from light to light. If you remove the stairwell light closest to the basement lights it will likely have a wire in and a wire out. After shutting off...

YES! The ground wire needs a path to the neutral/ground buss - instead of to the box it should be connected directly to the ground/neutral buss, which whould then be bonded to the service box with a...

joicecannon, Stratmando is right, a GFI usually protects and outside outlet. It should be the outlet itself, but sometimes it is the bathroom outlet protecting the outside outlet. You might check...

ctscooby, I may have mis-understood the pattern of switches and fan-light combo. Were there two switches in one location and two switches in another?. Or were there four separate switch locations?

I read it as him wanting to make the two systems one system - all switches controlling all the lights...

CSCOOSBY, sounds like you have two separate circuits and are trying to make them into one. It can work, you will need to re-wire in the walls or ceiling (or both) to connect all the switches...

The black wire at the top must be the 'traveler' that takes the switched power back down to the three candelabra-sized lights at the bottom; it must be attached to the 'other side' of the switch from...

Stacy, it's been a while since I've been on the site - did you get your floor lamp re-wired correctly (do the bottom lights come on)?

Gary D.

OK... The engine will not run if there is no battery attached, OR if the battery is dead (won't take a charge). Could be that there is a wire that is shorted out, draining the battery. Could be...

Trochilids, did you get this worked out?. And do you have a pic of the lamp that I may see?

I like it!

Do you have two separate batteries (many RVs do)? They are usually tied together with an 'isolator' so that the engine can charge the 'living space' battery (interior lights, 12 volt electric...
