Dec 16	comment	How can I automatically disconnect a coffee maker and space heater without tripping the building's 20A circuit breaker? Good call on not everything on the circuit being plugged into the power strip.
Dec 15	comment	How can I automatically disconnect a coffee maker and space heater without tripping the building's 20A circuit breaker? If it's not tripping at 22 Amps, I'm going to say it doesn't. The packaging my say 15Amp, but that only means it's rated to be connected to a 120v 15Amp circuit. If it has an internal breaker, it should clearly state that on the packaging.

Dec 15	comment	How can I automatically disconnect a coffee maker and space heater without tripping the building's 20A circuit breaker? Are you sure the power strip has overload protection?
Dec 15	comment	Can I use a motion sensor to control fluorescent lights that are plugged into an outlet? @Steven That just means you have to keep moving while you're in the garage. No standing still, you're supposed to be working.
Dec 15	comment	How can I fit a Schlage lockset in my front door? @Steven sorry, didn't realize the Irwin jig came with a hole saw that was good for metal doors.

Dec 15	comment	How can you rid your house of 'Sick Building Syndrome'? Please consult a doctor. This could be a serious medical condition, and cannot realistically be diagnosed or treated by an internet community (even if that community happens to be totally AWESOME).

Dec 15	comment	How can I keep an entry gate operating during a power outage? Is a backup generator out of the question? It could be used to keep other vital systems online as well.
Dec 14	comment	Is it possible to be electrocuted from a properly functioning GFCI circuit? If you stick a piece of metal in the hot side only, you should not get electrocuted (theoretically). You may, however, get shocked. GFCI's are not instantaneous, and can take up to 25 milliseconds (if I remember correctly) to trip. Also keep in mind "Electrocution" is defined by the stopping of the heart, any electric shock that does not stop the heart is not technically electrocution.
Dec 14	comment	How can I fit a Schlage lockset in my front door? @Steven The question you linked to describes how to enlarge a hole in a wood door, the OP has a steel door. A typical hole saw will be useless in the case of a steel door.
