It's a rite of passage - You and your spouse are expecting, and it's your responsibility to paint the baby's room.
But before you do so, make sure that you use only latex/low VOC paint, keep the room well-ventilated for at least a few days, and try to keep the pregnant mother away from the room ...
I thought about downvoting that question, but my wife has similar symptoms pretty much any time I do anything around the house (she's allergic to everything) - so I'm halfheartedly hoping someone comes up with an answer other than air filters.
@Tester101: I mean if the house has a main + a sub at the outset. My impression is that there's usually one panel per building, but I wonder if that's ideal.
OK, my last project was a woodstove installation in the yurt. My first ever woodstove, my first ever concrete pour, and my wife's first ever tile work.
Because the yurt is a soft structure, the chimney is attached to a pair of posts (20' x 4" x 4")
@JayBazuzi I think it's mostly a local custom kind of thing, most people don't want to search with more than one breaker box when the lights go out. I've seen a sub right next to a main when an addition is added for instance.
@JayBazuzi I thought the chimney was a nice piece of work :)
@Aarthi So what happened in August anyway? Was that the tree question?
@SteveJackson: I was thinking that a subpanel to the kitchen might be a good idea, since there are so many circuits to one location; you could use a lot less copper while reducing voltage drop. (This isn't a real question, it's just a thought experiment)
@JayBazuzi Yeah, a subpanel is often a consideration with kitchen additions for that reason. I'd probably call up a local house inspector and see if the sub would be too strange for your area. Copper prices are making people think up some unorthadox things, you might be on the leading edge on this one.
@JayBazuzi @SteveJackson I'd like to see the math on this one. how many cables, and how far away would it have to be to justify the cost of another panel?
They sell clips like this
at the Home Depot, which can either clip under your singles or to the gutters.
Not sure how well they work yet, I picked up a box and plan on giving them a try this year.
@Tester101 (and everyone else too) what do you think of this answer diy.stackexchange.com/a/10695 ? It's the same link as the deleted-as-spam answer on that question
@JayBazuzi, we've been told multiple times by contractors/landscapers etc at our (new to us ) house that if we ever get our gutters replaced, make sure that they pay us for the copper
@JayBazuzi Hearing stories here and there of people using aluminum wire for big amp stuff (and not always being aware of the limitations). In addition there's some work being done with conductors on circuit boards to replace copper.

@Aarthi The site is fine, just chat is less chatty. Your shoes are big to fill - after all you are a social community building expert who doubles traffic and whatnot. The fact that we manage this much chat with 29 users (ALL-TIME) seems noteworthy.
