• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

heat wave garage project

It's funny how one building inspector wants one gfci plug in a circuit, and the next inspector interprets the code as having to have one at every outlet.
 
My project for today will be to flip the outlets at my parent's new house. The local code apparently required that all the GFCI circuits must have the outlets installed upside down. What a pain.
 
All outlets should be that way anyway. That way if a plug was only partially seated and a metallic object fell behind the plug, the ground would be upwards. Just saying..
 
We have to make these rules so that the dumb people survive. Without those people, nobody would be dumb enough to keep creating more tax payers without expecting any real ROIC.

Try telling that to my mom who likes to have little night lights around the house so she can putt around in the dark. Them being upside down made her mentally irregular.
 
Seems the GFI circuits can trigger prematurely in some cases. A washer I have had a cracked outlet so I replaced with appropriate rated GFI. Would always switch off when running the washer so I use an adjacent normal outlet. Was trying to be "safe" as water faucets were adjacent but still an issue. Could have wasted more money to buy an higher rated GFI but easier to just leave it for utility use and plug in the washer elsewhere :rolleyes:

In my area, course workers always put a "W" (Wrong way) or "X" (Danger) on our front number plates , so competitors can identify the bike, as a club worker. Hi Vis vests are reserved for club workers on foot, doing traffic control.
 
It's amazing how much brighter the interior of a garage is when it's painted. Do the floor with the epoxy stuff while you have all the items out. It makes clean up a lot easier.
