Recently (early July) I was contacted by an old friend from high school, via Facebook. Always had a crush on this girl, but I was involved in a long term relationship so that's all it was, a crush....

Yes, bought the home 4 years ago while married. I would like full custody, but realize it is probably not going to happen. Basically I don't want to be the one who has to leave the house, pay child...

Wife of 6 years slept with co-worker of mine. Kids are 12 and 7 and I would like full custody and be able to live in our house still. How can I get her out of the house, she won't leave?

Hi everyone, I didn't know where else to put this. Today at work when my coworkers and I were headed out to our cars for lunch, (parked on the street) we noticed all of our cars were completely...

What type of adhesive should I use to reattach the antenna to my glass on my truck? It is a two piece antenna, one piece hooks to the wire inside, and glues to the glass. The other piece glues to the...

Hi, I am trying to reconnect the floor shifter to the transmission, which was connected and worked before. The floor shifter inside will not move the cable underneath the car. I can see where the...

No, sure doesn't

Hi, a few nights ago my friend was arrested and his truck impounded. He gets bailed out, and gets his truck out of the impound. He didn't notice it right away, but maybe a few hours later, that his...

Connect the whites to the white, blacks to the black. Cap it off with the orange caps. Although, if it is more than 3 wires twisted together, I would use a bigger cap. Like a tan or a red cap if they...

When you say it is seldom overloaded, do you mean the main breaker is overloaded and tripping? Or individual circuits?

It's not necessary to upgrade unless there is a need for it, like if you are...

Check the amperage of the water heater. Most require a 30 amp circuit which will require 10 gauge wire. If your 110 source is 10 gauge wire, you can take your neutral off the neutral bar in the...

Putting the ref outlet on a non gfi should be fine, if the inspector gives you a hard time, tell him its for the fridge only and no tools will be plugged into it, he should understand that some...

I did happen to find this website, that gave me a lot of hope. I think it was too late for us though, she was already 10 months and we were having a hard time keeping them taped. If you are really...

Did you mean white, red, black and bare? How many red wires are there? If it is white, red, black, and bare copper, cap the red off with a wirenut. This extra wire is probably for a ceiling fan.

Here is some info on alum. Wiring:

Garages, and also accessory buildings that have a floor located at or below grade level not intended as habitable rooms and limited to storage areas, work areas, and areas of similar use shall have...

Turn that circuit off, and make sure nothing is hot inside the switch box. Hopefully, you will have a knockout remaining in the top of the box, knock it out. If no knockout's are available, you can...

You can use romex, 2 conductor plus ground = 3 wires total. 14/2 romex would probably be fine for your bathroom lights.

The gfci however will need it's own 20 amp circuit, 12/2 romex.

I...

Yes, you are tied to the hot and switch leg going to the switch. You have no neutral for your vanity light, even though it's a white wire there, it's not a neutral. You can tie to the light fixture,...

This will fit in a 3/4" conduit.

Stranded wire is fine, it does make for an easier wire pull and compresses well under terminal screws.

The ground wire in 6/3 romex is #10 I believe, so you...

18 gauge can be used to rewire the fixture. Ground the box, and ground the fixture using a pigtail off the ground in the box, to the spider plate or whatever bracket you use to mount your fixture...

It should say outdoor use on the packages. Also look to see if it is watertight, maybe comes with a gasket or something.

Setting a junction box is fine. If the current wire is sized properly, run the same wire. Check the range for amperage, or check the breaker.

Nope, no requirement on that. Just as long as you are deep enough, and if you're 12" below a water line, you probably are deep enough.

Dimmer switch may have burned up. Turn the circuit off, and try replacing with a regular switch to see if the lights still work. If so buy a new dimmer switch.

Hi. It does sound like a bad breaker. You can do this yourself. Just make sure you turn off your main breaker FIRST, that way you are not working on anything live. Then check it anyway with a voltage...

We were thinking it was time to switch to adult chow. She has been on puppy chow ever since. We never thought to switch at 4 months, though.

I agree, the ears are a minor problem compared to bad...

Hello, we have an 8 month old female GSD. Unlike most GSD's her age, her ears are not pointing straight up. Sometimes when someone knocks on the door or when she is listening one ear will pop up...

Sometimes a loose connection on the neutral in the meter base will cause this. Have the power co check it out.

Is this a motion detector switch for a light? If so, you need a ground, a hot and a switched hot - no neutral.

There may be little screws that need to be loosened on the glass bulb covers. Loosen those and try to remove them.

Did you try to turn it off first, then turn it back on?

If it's possible, could you check the nameplate for the amp rating. The nameplate is usually on the back of the dryer. Then the amperage of the breaker that is tripping? Post those here.

It's...

Yes, run 14-3 for the ceiling fan. That way you have a neutral for the unit, and two switch controlled hots (switch legs), one for the fan and one for the light.

The switch leg is the hot you run...

You can do this with one run, probably a 15 amp circuit using 14-2 romex. Run your home run (from the panel) to the switch. You can splice your hot wire with two pigtails, one feeding each switch....

Try to turn it off first, then on.

There may be a smaller box available, maybe with less breaker spaces. Shop around a little bit.

Also is it possible to install the new panel outside? I would go outside if the old panel is near an...

If it hasn't tripped the breaker yet, I would roll with it. Like tk said, it should hold just fine. But if it does trip or you want to change it anyway to a 20 amp breaker, you will need to replace...

Hi, I just installed a new cd player in my friends car. Everything seems to work fine, all wires seem to be where they should be. When the volume on the stereo is turned up, the power antenna jumps...
