I know it as the Oyster plant.

How big is the water heater? The way you describe the switch it sounds like a 120 volt model. Maybe in the 10-20 gal range.

GFI outlets have a second set of screws that allow that outlet to control 'down stream' outlets. Outlets that are wired to that set of screws will trip the GFI if they have a short. The 'down...

Sounds like a wire didn't get connected on the one fan. I'd check for any unconnected wires.

Home Depot had a problem getting a steady supply of these intermediate base bulbs. All stores should have them now. In my store they are stocked on the candalabra light bay next to the specialty...

Outdoor lights have thicker glass to withstand cool rain water hittng the lens and cracking it. You can tell the difference in weight and in feel.

Sorry: B/W is the light!

B is the fan; B/W is the fan; W is neutral.

For Your Info:

We've received a shipment of GU10 and MR16 bulbs in CFL format. The squigly is behind a lens cover so they look just like the original.

GU10 and MR16 bulbs are used frequently in...

I heard there is a bill being considered in California that would 'outlaw' incandescence bulbs.

Also, an island nation in South Pacific (can't remember name) forbids incandescence bulb use.

My guess is that the black is currently floating --- not attached to any where. I agree that it sounds like both black and white were originally wired to be hot with ground used as neutral. Not a...

Sure sounds like a wire is reversed. Are you sure the hot is actually hot? Did you determine that with a VOM or some other method?

Did you jot down all the wire colors that you connected? Post...

You might want to check with your Home Depot store about a clinic on installing ceiling fans. They run the free clinics from time to time (especially if they know customers want/need one).

Also,...

Your local Home Depot store will have several post variations and colors. Varieties include options for outlet and/or dusk/dawn sensor. They are all the same size. The posts are next to the outdoor...

As a general rule, CF's are, like tube and circular fluorescents, not dimmable.

There are a few that are dimmable, but make sure the package states that the bulb is dimmable.

Sounds like the remote control module has gone bad. The quick answer is take the fan back to Home Depot. Trouble is the fan may not be active anymore and you may not be able to get an exact match...

Take a look at the double switches, i.e. 2 switches in the same space. Double switches use an outlet cover rather than a switch cover. Each switch occuppies the spot an outlet would and has a...

Your GFI outlet should have a cover that allows you to have a cord plugged in while its raining outside. About $10 for 1 gang cover. 16 /1 or some such name that refers to the different plate...

A GFCI is required for all receptacles in wet locations, eg: outlets in bathrooms, outdoors and kitchens, and, in addition, for dwelling units: crawl-spaces, garages, boathouses, unfinished...

10/3 will support a 30 amp circuit. What does your saw use?

240V GFICs breakers are available, but I haven't seen any outlets with that capability.

Rather than volts, you should be thinking...

Compact fluorescent bulbs have 2 ratings. I'll call them power consumed/heat generated and light produced. With a standard incandescent bulb, power and light are the same. CF bulbs use significantly...

Couple of thoughts for you:

Fans use the term speeds (3 speed) while switch use the term settings (off-low-med-hi). A 3 speed fan uses a 4 setting switch.

Newer outlets are being wired with the...
