Oh we used to have a squirrel problem. Kept chewing a hole in the roof trim. Then my dogs caught the squirrel. Saved us $500 in trapper/exterminator fees
@Tester101 I'm modifying the space in the adjoining rooms by replacing the drywall and moving light switches and whatnot. I'm concerned that the inspector is going to flag the room as modified and force me to move the panel to the exterior. Is that a justified concern?
It's the master suite's closet, unfortunately, and it has a clothes hangar over it. I'd planned to wall off the area around the panel so that clothes aren't hanging there.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping is going to be the case. The problem is that I mostly do my own electrical, and I'm pretty good at keeping it up to code (i've passed all of my inspections except the time I forgot to use a green ground screw) ... but the inspectors are sometimes leery if it's not one I know.
The panel's original to the house as far as I know.
The date stamps on everything match to it and all of the breakers except the one I installed being original as well.
And yeah, I wouldn't install a panel or subpanel without a permit. And probably would call a pro in to do that.
Current code around here though requires the panel on the outside of the house, which I agree with. Moving it out there would be kind of difficult because of the structure of the house in that area and around the meter.
It'd require either a complete rewire of the house or a very large junction panel up in the attic to lengthen the wires.
My ceiling fan takes 3 candelabra (E12) base bulbs for lighting. The bulb slots are labeled 75W - 125V. The fan light is dimmable and I currently use 3 60w incandescent flame tips.
I plan to switch to LEDs or flourescent bulbs, but so far I have only found candelabra-based LED bulbs at 25w eq...

There's a specific Acura -- the MDX with SH-AWD -- that really cannot be flipped. You can throw it into a gravel-covered corner at 50 mph and do a 90-degree turn and it will just DO IT
@shirlockhomes Nah, that's the fun part. The best part is that my dad works for Honda of America directly with most of the dealers nationwide, and as soon as I walk into any dealership and drop his name I get the royal treatment. I can test drive anything I want alone without a salesman and without signing any papers.
I switched my search to Bing as soon as I saw the announcement. I'm looking for an alternative to gmail and switching away from all the google services I can.
Installed spam assassin on a linux box, still have a 3rd party with the front end mail server that I pop from, I just run imaps and mail filters before it reaches my phone/laptop.
I measured one of the hot pipes and it is 7/8" OD so 3/4" pipe but it seems a little looser than I really expect it to, and the 1/2" insulation doesn't fit
@joshmax leap motion coming in the next couple months (dev kits shipped already), and there is anothing one I can't remember the name of but it's an arm band controller that is set to ship later this year
The awesome thing about that particular episode is that if you pay attention, at least once he erases the board and then writes the exact same thing on it
