Then you have to hose them down with a garden hose when they're done? ;-)

Our master bathroom is the size of a small apartment... and the closet is the size of most secondary bedrooms :-) ...Jim Thompson

My wife likes to tell of the football jock in high school who took her on a date and attempted to fondle her... she slapped him expertly and he gave up.

A few weeks later he took a bath with his toob radio perched on the edge of the tub. The final zap-p-p-p-p :-)

Poetic justice, but she's still pissed (even though that was like 54 years ago)... the high school erected a plaque in his honor, because he was a football player :-( ...Jim Thompson

No GFCI protection?

As part of the electrical upgrade which prompted this thread, I replaced one of the breakers in the breaker box on the deck with an arc-fault/ground-fault type.

My place is over 45 years old, so the size is quite large for a home this old. OTOH, my four workshops are 30'*40', 18'*28', 12'*24' and

12'*12'. On top of that, I have several empty bedrooms and a large TV room, plus a small library.

I think that would make the paint run! :-/ (I think watercolors remain "soluble" indefinitely?)

I simply can't imagine how they can get all those drawing tables in there and room for chairs, etc. Always seemed a waste, to me, to have "finished space" in a home. More to keep clean, decorate, pay taxes on, insure, etc.

I'd much rather a thousand square feet of *basement* that doesn't raise taxes, doesn't require "dusting", furnishing, etc. I wonder if they make "basement only" houses? (not just below-grade)

Or, as my Chicago friends did: 2500 sq ft for an indoor swimming pool (odd sensation to be swimming in a heated pool while the snow is falling outside) -- though I wonder what the insurance and taxes were on *that*! :-/ (at least you don't have to *dust* it!! :> )

Not their work, I was talking about to clean up them and the bathroom. :)

I always wanted one of the old, decommissioned missile silos so I could really play 'Mad Scientist!'. ;-)

Tell her that I said it was 'Too bad about the poor radio'.

They always treat jerks as something special.

One of the football players at my high school thought he was indestructable, till his car fell on him.

Not always though code changes are usually grandfathered because retrofits can be very expensive.

Our master bath in this house is about the size of my son's room in our first house. The shower is larger than the floor space in the bathroom in that house and we have 2 more bathrooms (3.5 vs 1.5).

I'd like to have a basement too, but SWMBO nixed the only house we looked at that had a basement - 2300sq. ft. of basement.

Just think of the mold and rot issues. Yuck!

So, did she break your arm? ;-)

How did you manage that?

Buy her a plaque next to his.

Thanks to all this fine discussion I have decided to run PVC conduit for the added circuits.

It would have been helpful to know what country you were in. Regulations are almost certainly differ from one country to another.

One of mine is about 12' * 12', the other is 7' * 14'

It's helpful to know how to read headers so you can find out, too.

See also the differences in usage rules between FMC and LFMC.

I don't know for sure - but I doubt it, based on what I read at the url you posted: "These cables are provided with mechanical protection are therefore suitable for external use and direct burial."

Our type "AC" (Armored Cable) is not suitable for direct burial per the NEC, and our type "UF" (Underground Feeder) cable is suitable for direct burial per the NEC, but is not armored.

So, you think someone will forge their IP address to access Google groups? The fact that they use Google group generally means they don't know how. OTOH, if you are that paranoid, it's your problem. Why would anyone want to fake being a Pacbell DSL customer?
