@Tester101 -- what happened to BenWelborn's question about 12V receptacles? I have an answer waiting in the wings for him (and its a good one too -- there's a NEMA receptacle type specifically for low voltage DC apps, believe it or not!)

@Shalvenay Looks like the questions each got a down vote, and then were deleted by the owner.

In my opinion, they weren't very good questions to begin with. Seemed like the user wanted to start a discussion, and didn't really have a specific answerable question.

@Tester101 awwww...I was going to point out that NEMA FSL1 receptacles are rated 28VDC/30A and won't mate with anything that uses some other voltage, making it ideal for a 12 or 24 VDC system

@Tester101 I agree they weren't very good questions. It does leave me wondering where I should hang my tidbit about FSL1 receptacles off of though

I was gonna post to the site, but I think i'll get down voted for it being more opinion based - the wife wants to paint the house this year - the majority of the house roughly fire house red, but the first floor of the front of the house is a redish brick

normally, I hate painting brick but she wants to paint the house a medium grey and the red brick wont match IMO

how insane would it be to paint each individual brick ? I don't want to paint the mortar lines - just the brick. I'll obviously need to use a 1 inch or so brush and it'll take quite a bit of time - but i think it'll produce a better result

Typo of the week:

"And moist folks adjust to most noises, and learn to stop hearing the unimpoortant ones."

Those moist folks can adjust to just about anything.

@lsiunsuex Don't paint the brick!

Paint the house a color that compliments the brick.
